The rapid advancement of drone technology has led to the emergence of drone swarms, a game-changing concept in modern warfare. This study explores the military applications, countermeasures, and strategic implications of drone swarms. By examining the current trends in drone swarm development and deployment, this research highlights the potential of this technology to revolutionize the battlefield. The study also investigates the challenges and vulnerabilities associated with drone swarms, emphasizing the need for effective countermeasures. Through an analysis of multi-sensor fusion, directed energy weapons, and artificial intelligence, this research proposes comprehensive strategies to counter the threats posed by drone swarms. Furthermore, the study delves into the ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of autonomous drone swarms, underscoring the necessity for international norms and regulations. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of the transformative impact of drone swarms on military strategy and national security, while providing valuable insights for policymakers, military strategists, and researchers in the field.

This paper reports on an ongoing study investigating the feasibility of using an evolutionary method to develop the rules governing Self-Organised (SO) systems for use in swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles. In general, it is difficult to design swarm systems that follow explicit global behaviour. Unlike optimising a predefined objective function, the solution to the problem is the emergent behaviour in the SO systems which results from simultaneous interactions among agents and between agents and their environment. In this study, evolutionary algorithms are used to investigate their control and effectiveness in synthesising the weighting of different rules on SO emergent behaviour. Both homogeneous swarms and heterogeneous swarms were considered though the results provided are for a case study investigating the simplest problem a homogeneous swarm without mutation. Though simple this study does indicate the potential of the approach.

In February and April 1997, three temporary interruptions of electric power production at the Uljin Nuclear Power Plant in the east coast of Korea were caused by the malfunction of the cool-ing-water supply unit. The clogging of the drum screens inside the unit caused by the surface swarm of the euphausiid Euphausia pacifica Hansen might be responsible for the malfunction. These incidents were of particular interest since such interruption of reactors' operation by krill swarms had not previously been reported. Using samples caught by the drum screens inside the cooling water-supply unit, we investigated the population structure of surface swarms. One occasion of nighttime and three occasions of daytime surface swarms were found in February and April 1997, respectively. The foreguts of more than 60% of E. pacifica in nighttime surface swarm were in full condition. This evidence suggests that E. pacifica aggregates to the surface water at night for feeding. In daytime surface swarms consisting of mature E. pacifica, however, foreguts in full condition were only found in less than 10eio of krill examined, suggesting that daytime surface swarms are closely related to breeding activity. During the study period, the growth rate of mature females was more than twice higher than that of mature males. Analyses of the sex-ratio and length-frequency data show a decrease in the portion of males with increasing size. There was a decline in the number of males of 19 mm in length. Energy loss during spermatophore transfer may result in the death of male E. pacifica, as found in male E. superba.

The dynamic stability of swarms is crucial in preventing collisions in clustered flights and safely moving along a defined path. Although there have been many simulation studies on dynamic stability, there have not been many experimental studies using real clusters due to the difficulty in implementation. In this study, we constructed a particle-lattice structure simulating bird flocks or drone swarms, and conducted experiments within turbulent flow. We identified a criterion that describes dynamically stable particle-lattice structures. The stability increased as this newly defined spatial index increased.

BitTorrent is one of the most important applications in the current Internet. Despite of its interest, we still have little knowledge regarding the connectivity properties of real BitTorrent swarms. In this paper we leverage a dataset including the connectivity information of 250 real torrents and more than 150k peers to carefully study the connectivity properties of peers. The main topology parameters of the studied swarms suggest that they are significantly less resilient than random graphs. The analysis of the peer level connectivity properties reveals that peers continuously change more than half of their neighbours. Furthermore, we also find that a leecher typically keeps stable connections with a handful of neighbours with which it exchanges most of its traffic whereas seeders do not establish long-term connections with any peer so that they can homogeneously distribute chunks among leechers. Finally, we have discovered that a significant portion of the studied peers (45%) have an important locality-biased neighbourhood composition.

영어문장의 논항변이는 오랫동안 언어학자들의 주목을 받아온 재미있는 현상이다. 대표적으로 인용되는 예문은 “load hay onto the truck" 과 “load the truck with hay" 간의 의미차이 그리고 “The garden swarms with bees" 또는 “Bees are swarming in the garden" 과 “The garden swarms with bees" 의 의미차이이다. 이 문장들은 언어학이론상 설명하기 곤란한 의미차이를 가져오게 된다. 통사적인 논항의 재배치는 미묘하지만 엄연한 동사의 의미차이를 보인다. 이를 학자에 따라 “Double-faced" 또는 “Verbal diathesis"라고도 하는데, 본고에서는 Dowty(200l)의 견해를 따르며, 관련있는 학자들의 견해를 반영한다. 나아가 “Argument alternation" 의 행위자 주어 (A-subject)와 위치주어 (L-subject) 형 문장을 중심으로 문장을 분석하고 상이한 특질을 기술하여 Dowty(2001)식 분석의 이론적 타당성을 확인하게 된다.

Communication technologies hold a significant place in the swarm flight of drones for surveillance, inspection of disasters and calamities, entertainment performances, and drone collaborations. A GCS(ground control station) for the control of drone swarms needs its devoted communication method to control a large number of drones at the same time. General drone controllers control drones by connecting transmitters and drones in 1:1. When such an old communication method is employed to control many drones simultaneously, problems can emerge with the control of many transmitter modules connected to a GCS and frequency interference among them. This study implemented a transmitter controller to control many drones simultaneously with a communication chip of 2.4GHz ISM band and a Cortex M4-based board. It also designed a GCS to control many transmitter controllers via a network. The hierarchical method made it possible to control many more drones. In addition, the problem with frequency interference was resolved by implementing a time- and frequency-sharing method, controlling many drones simultaneously, and adding the frequency hopping feature. If PPM and S.BUS protocol features are added to it, it will be compatible with more diverse transmitters and drones.

This paper proposes an approach of Mult_HPSO based on the PC cluster system to reduce or remove the stagnation on an early convergence effect of PSO, reduce an execution time and improve a search ability on an optimal solution. Hybrid PSO(HPSO) is combines the PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) with the mutation of conventional GA(Genetic Algorithm). The conventional PSO has operated a search process in a single swarm. However, Multi_PSO operates a search process through multiple swarms, which increments diversity of expected solutions and reduces the execution time. Multiple Swarms are composed of unsynchronized PC clusters. We apply to SCED(security constrained economic dispatch) problem, a nonlinear optimization problem, which considers line flow constraints and N-1 line contingency constraints. To consider N-1 line contingency in power system, we have chosen critical line contingency through a process of Screening and Selection based on PI(performace Index). We have applied to IEEE 118 bus system for verifying a usefulness of the proposed approaches.

한반도 남동부에서 관찰된 총 287개 암맥들의 암석기재와 지화학적 자료들로부터 그 특성과 기원 마그마의 진화 경로를 밝히고자 하였다. 암맥들은 야외에서 염기성, 중성, 산성 암맥군으로 분류되며. 다시 염기성 암맥은 3개 그룹, 중성 암맥은 2개 그룹, 산성 암맥은 2개 그룹으로 각각 재분류된다. 이 중 염기성 암맥의 그룹(I)에 해당하는 암맥들이 연구지역에 가장 우세하게 산출되는데, 이들은 연일구조선을 경계로 하여 양쪽에 모두 분포하며 동일한 암석기재학 그리고 지화학적 특징을 보여주었다. 이는 선행 연구에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 연일구조선 양편의 암맥들이 모두 동시기에 만들어졌음을 의미하며 연일구조선이 마이오세 지각변형기 동안 지괴의 시계방향 수평 회전운동을 규제한 주요 구조선이었음을 강력히 지지한다. 암맥들의 지화학적 특징들은 암석기재적으로 분류한 7개 그룹에 따라 서로 잘 구분되었다 염기성, 중성, 산성 암맥들은 각각 현무암과 현무암질 안산암, 안산암과 데사이트 그리고 유문암에 해당되며, 마그마 계열은 대부분 칼크-알칼리계열에 해당된다. 지화학 자료는 염기성 암맥들에서 감람석, 단사휘석, 사장석의 분별정출 작용이 있었음을 지시하며, 특정 원소들의 함량과 조구조 판별도에서는 연구지역 암맥들이 지판의 침강 섭입과 관련된 마그마로부터 유래되었고 그 조구조 환경이 조산대 화산호와 관련이 있음을 보여주었다.
