>In one of the most significant tests of autonomous systems under development by the Department of Defense, the Strategic Capabilities Office, partnering with Naval Air Systems Command, successfully demonstrated one of the world’s largest micro-drone swarms at China Lake, California. The test, conducted in October 2016 and documented on Sunday’s CBS News program “60 Minutes”, consisted of 103 Perdix drones launched from three F/A-18 Super Hornets. The micro-drones demonstrated advanced swarm behaviors such as collective decision-making, adaptive formation flying, and self-healing.
>“I congratulate the Strategic Capabilities Office for this successful demonstration,” said Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, who created SCO in 2012. “This is the kind of cutting-edge innovation that will keep us a step ahead of our adversaries. This demonstration will advance our development of autonomous systems.”
>“Due to the complex nature of combat, Perdix are not pre-programmed synchronized individuals, they are a collective organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and adapting to each other like swarms in nature,” said SCO Director William Roper. “Because every Perdix communicates and collaborates with every other Perdix, the swarm has no leader and can gracefully adapt to drones entering or exiting the team.”

They already have. We just haven't realized it yet. This stuff is going to be used against civilians, it's what they're designed for.

...What?
Why the fuck would they do that? If your talking about foreign citizens, then that's retarded because their a foreign government's issue and the US doesn't support them, at least not without a profit in either cash or good will.
And if you mean US citizens, we're the ones providing bodies for the military and subjects for our esteemed leaders to lord over. The only time something like this would EVER be used against civilians is if they were already in armed revolt against the US government, at which point they stop being civilians.

This is the very reason as to why RTS games were even made.
Testing grounds and innovation for swarm mechanics.
