Sweden to test new drone swarm technology, says MoD Pål Jonson

Sweden will test new drone swarm technology developed by defense equipment group Saab and the Nordic country's armed forces, said Swedish Defence Minister Pål Jonson on Monday.

That is reported by Reuters.

At a press conference, Jonson said the army will test the technology developed over the past year during the upcoming Arctic Strike exercise.

"We will need to take some risks to build a stronger defense capability faster than we normally do," he said.

Jonson said the technology allows swarms of drones of different sizes to form and then solve tasks autonomously. "With these drone swarms it is possible to conduct both reconnaissance, positioning and identification".
