Drone Swarm Challenge 2025 RISE

Reference number
Coordinator RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 731 000
Project duration December 2025 - July 2026
Status Ongoing
Venture Radikal innovation
Call Drone swarm challenge 2025

Purpose and goal

The project aims to develop an autonomous drone swarm where at least two drones collaborate with different responsibilities. The goal is to achieve fully autonomous flight with object detection, dynamic target prioritization and drone-to-drone coordination via radio link.

Expected effects and result

The project delivers autonomous drones with swarm coordination and computer vision. The results enable future applications in Search-and-Rescue, disaster management and infrastructure monitoring. The solution is flexible, scalable, built with standard components, and demonstrates alternatives to commercial systems. The project´s knowledge is shared through a report to Vinnova and a scientific publication.

Planned approach and implementation

The project will be implemented December 2025-July 2026 and includes drone system development, with demonstration in May 2026.

The project description has been provided by the project members themselves and the text has not been looked at by our editors.
