Swarming drones concept flies closer to reality
The exercise was the culmination of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl)’s ‘Many Drones Make Light Work’ competition, funded under the MOD’s Science and Technology Portfolio through the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA). Following 2 earlier phases, the £2.5 million contract for Phase 3 was awarded in January 2019. This was for an Integrated Concept Evaluation activity to explore the technical feasibility and military utility of a swarm of up to 20 small UAVs operating collaboratively. This was awarded to an industry team led by Blue Bear Systems Research including Plextek DTS, IQHQ, Airbus and Durham University.

Project Mosquito will be the technology demonstrator of an armed UAV that could fly as a Loyal Wingman alongside the Typhoon and F-35 before the end of the decade.
The United Kingdom signed a £30 million three-year contract to design and manufacture a prototype of the first “Loyal Wingman” Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for the Royal Air Force. The company that was awarded the contract is Spirit AeroSystems, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is set to take the lead of “Team Mosquito”, as the technology demonstrator project team has been called.
