According to an Air Force Technology publication on April 7, 2020, COVID-19 disrupted defense supply chains. The production and assembling activities have been stopped by the big companies owing to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Therefore, the production and disruptions are deteriorating the distribution and supply of military drones, which, in turn, is expected to decline the military drone sales during 2020. Drone swarm technology is growing in popularity in the military drone market due to its cost efficiency and high firepower. Drone swarms are a large group of small drones that coordinate with each other to perform actions such as a survey of enemy territories, search and rescue, and attacks on hostile objects. Drone swarm technology involves the production of several small, cheap drones rather than one large, expensive drone, therefore offering military drone manufacturers and end-users efficiency in terms of cost and time. With the use of advanced swarm technologies, the military and armed forces can effectively carry out lethal drone strikes in multiple places at once. For instance, Microsystems developed a drone swarming system called the WOLF-PAK, which has the capability to fly small drones in groups and make them split away from the group whenever necessary. In February 2022, Halcon, a subsidiary of EDGE Group, a UAE-based provider of military weaponry and related technologies, unveiled the Hunter 2-S, a tube-launched swarming drone system. The Hunter 2-S is an unmanned aerial vehicle from the Hunter 2 series. These drones are anticipated to communicate with one another in order to track targets, hold positions, and engage with the proper targets. The drones can communicate with each other through a main channel using a specific algorithm, which sends messages to all of the drones and assigns each one of them a specific mission to fly to the target. In July 2020, UAS Drone Corp., an Israel-based company that designs, develops, and manufactures unmanned aerial systems, acquired Duke Robotics, Inc. With these acquisitions, the main focus is on Duke Robotics' business to expand its presence in the military drone market with TIKAD – a UAS Octocopter Integrated with a Six Degrees of Freedom ('6 DOF') Robotic Gimbal system which enables remote, real-time firing of small arms and light weapons. Duke Robotics is a cross-disciplinary association of research labs and teaching faculty conducting world-class research and training future generations of thinkers and creators.
