Drone2Drone: A search and rescue framework for finding lost UAV swarm agents. https://tamucc-ir.tdl.org/handle/1969.6/97196https://hdl.handle.net/1969.6/97196UAV swarms have seen widespread use in SAR (Search and Rescue operations). SAR missions are generally defined as exploration problems. Exploration approaches can be used in a wide range of applications [1]. Applications can include searching for an entity in danger or need of medical attention [2] or finding the spread of forest fires [3]. These approaches are labeled as application-specific SAR methods in UAV swarms. However, these do not contribute to the resiliency of the swarm itself.. Resiliency is defined as the ability of a system to withstand disruptions. As a part of multiobjective research toward increasing UAV swarm resiliency, an alternate approach is explored. Efforts towards the development of a Search and Rescue protocol that is directed towards the UAV agents that make up the swarm is underway.en-USUAV swarmsSearch and RescueSAR operationsPresentation
