An era marked by revolutionary advancements in miniaturization and artificial intelligence has ushered in the age of drone swarms. These formations characterized by coordinated fleets of miniature aerial vehicles (MAVs) offer undeniable potential for unparalleled efficiency in diverse applications. Therefore, the field of “swarm security” delves into how drone swarms have reshaped the security landscape. Compared to lone drones, infected drones within a swarm could potentially seize control of the entire group, posing the chilling risk of coordinated attacks on critical infrastructure or densely populated areas. To strengthen cybersecurity frameworks, this study investigates the intertwined complexities of legal frameworks and technological advancements. The authors explore modern defenses like signal jamming and AI-powered threat detection, while also raising ethical concerns about weapons and responsible use. Moreover, a future where the revolutionary potential of drone swarms is harnessed for the benefit of society has been explored through understanding and mitigating risks.
