of UAVs involved in temporally constrained mission. Ref. [12] uses a dierent technology, namely swarm

intelligence, for coordinating the movements of multiple UAVs. e control logic is executed autonomously

by a UAV that results in a situation where a single human is able to monitor an entire swarm of UAVs instead

of at least one human for each UAV. In Ref. [17], UAVs with small received signal strength indicator sen-

sors cooperatively work together to locate targets emitting radio frequency signals in a large area. Ref. [11]

describes a decision making partnership between a human operator and an intelligent UAV. Here, the intel-

ligence is provided by a MAS. e MAS controls the UAV and self-organizes to
