Module 04 · L3 — Across The Squad

SquadSense

Squad coordination · planned

The payload can sense the nearby squad and share navigation confidence and payload health over the secured data link. Systems can retask available resources in response to a failed sensor, drone or mission objective.

CONCEPT / PLANNED
  • Sense the nearby squad
  • Share navigation confidence and payload health
  • Secured data link between squad members
  • Retask available resources after a failed sensor, drone or mission objective
  • SquadSense SDK shares position quality, link status and system health across the team
  • Human in the loop — key decisions stay with the operator and host

The proposed integration uses TrackFusion for navigation confidence and payload health, and the planner / operator view to monitor team state, review outcomes and reassign tasks.

MISSION COORDINATION

Mission coordination to collective intelligence.

Manned-aircraft formations have pilots who coordinate and adapt in flight. UAVs have no onboard pilot, and the ground link may be degraded in contested airspace.

THE GAP

Isolated aircraft

UAVs operating as isolated aircraft cannot use a companion aircraft’s navigation, link or system-health change to adjust together.

THE RESPONSE

Shared state, bounded adjustments

Redundancy matters when the team can share its state and make bounded adjustments as conditions change.
