Project description 

The Center for Heterogeneous Adaptive Swarm Systems (CHASS) is a national research initiative funded by the Swedish Strategic Research Foundation (SSF). CHASS brings together leading Swedish research environments and industrial partners to develop adaptive, trustworthy, and heterogeneous drone swarms that can be designed, deployed, and operated as unified intelligent systems. The centre will develop the CHASS Swarm OS as an open software foundation for heterogeneous, self-governing swarms, and will validate research outcomes through integrated demonstrations in realistic use cases.

The project will investigate how humans and autonomous swarms can operate as joint s...
