The aim of this technology inspired innovation is to develop the software and hardware to enable the demonstration of a swarm of robotic airborne sensor platforms (RASPs) capable of performing tasks quickly, autonomously and far less expensively than is possible with a single sensor platform, or, performing tasks that cannot otherwise be accomplished using a single sensor platform, making full use of wireless connectivity and synchronised, precision, timing, e.g. in a flying distributed antenna. We have multiple User Requirements for this technology. Stephan Sander, President of Sander Geophysics Limited, stated that the dominant costs of a geophysical survey are the number of people involved in the survey and time those people spend in the field. Deployment of a RASP swarm rather than a single RASP achieves the economies of scale much like a train driver does when driving a train, as opposed to having many buses and needing to pay many bus drivers.

这项技术创新的目的是开发软件和硬件，以实现一群机器人机载传感器平台（RASP）的演示，这些平台能够快速，自主地执行任务，并且比单个传感器平台便宜得多，或者执行无法使用单个传感器平台完成的任务，充分利用无线连接和同步，精确，定时，例如在飞行分布式天线中。我们对这项技术有多个用户要求。Sander地球物理有限公司总裁Stephan Sander说，地球物理调查的主要成本是参与调查的人数和这些人在实地花费的时间。部署一个RASP群而不是一个单一的RASP实现了规模经济，就像火车司机在驾驶火车时所做的那样，而不是拥有许多公共汽车并需要支付许多公共汽车司机。
