US Navy released footage from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in Arlington on Sunday, presenting their test runs of the LOCUST, a tool enabling the user to coordinate multiple drones at once.

The video of the test-runs carried out in March and April shows swarms of drones flying in the sky and UAVs being launched by a Low-Cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarming Technology program (LOCUST). The system is designed to protect navy seals by swarming the enemy with multiple drones.
