Drone Swarm Search and Rescue Clusters Demo | MDS v3.0

Watch MDS v3.0 bring enterprise-grade drone swarms to life: three independent clusters executing search & rescue missions with dynamic formation control, cloud-native dashboard planning, and zero-downtime leader failover.

00:00 – Intro Demo
00:20 – Design & Plan the Swarm from Web Dashboard
00:51 – SITL Test Quick Setup & Run (Docker-based)
01:30 – Cluster 3 → Orbit Mode (Drone 8 Leader)
01:55 – Dynamic Formation Manipulation (Offset Tuning)
02:49 – Cluster 1 → Square Survey Mode (Drone 1 Leader)
03:00 – Cluster 2 → Square Circular Mode (Drone 5 Leader)
04:15 – Simulating Cluster 3 Leader Failure & Auto Election (Drone 6)
05:00 – Outro

*Why MDS v3.0 Is a Game-Changer:*
*All-in-One Architecture:* Fully containerized PX4 SITL + React dashboard + optional cloud backend—deploy on any Linux autopilot (Raspberry Pi, Jetson, etc.) or Ubuntu VM.
*Search & Rescue Focus:* Run three simultaneous missions—perimeter orbit, square grid survey, and circular area mapping—using one unified interface.
*Dynamic Formation & Offset Control:* Adjust inter-drone spacing in real time (see Drone 7’s follower separation), optimized by Kalman-filter state estimation.
*Resilient Leader-Follower Clustering:* Simulate Drone 5’s failure; automatic election promotes Drone 6 in 5 sec—mission continues without human intervention.
*Scalable & Robust:* Race-condition fixes under high CPU load, emergency-land reliability, network buffer tuning for 100+ drones via MAVLink Router.
*Cloud‐Enabled Global Setpoints:* Three-way handshake ensures no drone launches until “OK-to-Start” confirmation from cloud backend.
