The office of naval research, USA (ONR) has created a new project of LOCUST, which uses a launcher tube for launching the UAVs of the type of Coyote. These UAVs can surround the enemy target and attack it like bees protecting their hive.

The use of a large coordinated drones instead of one large has a number of advantages.
