Why the Swarm Intelligence Market is Projected to have Substantial Growth in North America

Palm Beach, FL – September 2, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Drone swarm technology is growing its popularity in the military drones market due to its cost efficiency and high fire-power. 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 missions, and attacks on hostile objects. Drone swarm technology involves the production of several small and 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, military and armed forces can effectively carry out lethal drone strikes in multiple places at once.  A report from IndustryARC said that swarm Intelligence is one of artificial intelligence technologies that is used in the operations where systematic algorithms have to be applied. Increasing usage of robots, automation and drones which need high performance and high efficiency is expected to drive the market. Increased adoption of drone swarms in defense is major factor that drives the market. The report projected that the global Swarm Intelligence Market is estimated to surpass $250 million mark by 2026, growing at an estimated CAGR of more than 38.9% during the forecast period 2021 to 2026.  Active stocks in the markets this week include Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: PLRTF) (CSE: PRT), Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX).

 

IndustryARC added: “Rising demand for swarms in autonomous vehicles and various swarm intelligence such as ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization as well as artificial fish optimization for parcel delivery through drones, increasing adoption of the technology for solving big data problems are some of the factors for growth of market. The movement of goods and logistics along different routes increases the operational costs for business, along with the travel time. This in turn stimulates the need for analytical models that can be solved through the Swarm model which in turn drives the demand for the market. These factors are set to boosts the market growth for Swarm Intelligence during the forecast period 2021-2026.  The Swarm intelligence market is estimated to witness substantial growth over the forecast period primarily due to the Increasing usage of swarm intelligence for solving the location problems, rising adoption of swarm-based drones in the military is expected to grow in the forecasted period. Increased operational cost, high travel times are the major reasons which drive swarm intelligence to resolve the issue which in turn improves the market growth.”

 

Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (CSE: PRT.CNQ) (OTCQB: PLRTF) BREAKING NEWSPLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES UAV ‘SWARM’ DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FROM SURVEY-AR  –  Plymouth Rock Technologies (“Plymouth Rock”, “PRT”, or the “Company”), a leader in developing detection apparatus and unmanned technologies, is pleased to announce the sale of custom drones to Survey-AR to deliver a drone swarm test capability.

 

The project will assess an autonomous drone swarm system to optimize weather and air quality monitoring in atmospheric boundary layer environments with particular importance in urban and industrial areas. The project will further review market validation/value of identified segments as well as take advantage of critical feedback to further evolve drone swarming capabilities. Plymouth Rock Technologies will be supplying a fleet of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) which will autonomously operate together to form a ‘swarm’.

 

“Drone swarms are, in every sense, transformational technology”, stated Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. “They can substitute humans in dangerous or hostile environments, from the front line of a warzone, through to the detection of commercial gases. In sufficient numbers, they can collect information from multiple locations and directions, integrating it to form insights not otherwise possible. That information can inform decision makers who cannot enter the environment nor capture information from multiple angles and perspectives.”

 

“We are delighted to be selected to undertake this task. Drone swarming capabilities have been used in theme park light shows, where the drone intelligence is limited to a simple LED light and a set manoeuvre. This effort differs greatly by the fact that this is a drone swarm collecting and compiling data through a series of sensors and utilizing AI to turn the data collected into actionable intelligence” stated Dana Wheeler, President & CEO of PRT.   CONTINUED…    Read this and more news for PRT at:  https://www.plyrotech.com/news/
