Description

In the near future, networks of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones will be a common feature in military as well as civilian applications. In order to be effective, teams of UAVs/drones will need to communicate and collaborate to perform application level tasks. As each entity carries varying​ resources (information, software services, channel bandwidth, hardware, etc.), it will be critical to share these resources.  The panel will raise thought provoking discussion with regard to resource sharing, communications, security, privacy, policies and other issues that will be encountered when a network of unmanned aerial vehicles and drones work in collaboration.
