Abstract

This paper describes a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for a counterswarmscenario in which the defender side uses a swarm of drones to defenda target against an attacking drone swarm. A ConOps is a high-level conceptualdescription of how the elements of a system and entities in its environment interact in order to achieve their stated goals. It has shown to be a useful and integrative element in designing complex technical systems. The ConOps for a counter-swarm scenario presented in this paper will provide answers, among others, to the following questions: how the two drone swarms are deployed, how a scenario is introduced to the simulation system, and how its progress is monitored and supervised. A preliminary version of the ConOps for a counter-swarm scenario was drafted through by using a counter-swarm simulator and conducting discussions and interviews with military experts of the Finnish Defence Forces.
