Cool tech, not sure how useful is it really. Like 60 drones at one time need a lot of logistics to pull off, and one operator might be a limiting factor as well unless they are extremely smart drones with a link to some beefy compute that can analyze all the data and give that one person all information needed to make a decision.

    I think the system is supposed to spread out on its own, and converge on a target "autonomously". May even search for a target autonomously instead of needing to scan 200 video streams, but that could also be the role of the operator.
