Swarming is an ancient military tactic that has been used in various campaigns. Swarming occurs throughout the animal kingdom, with bees, ants, flies, mosquitoes, and other insects, as well as wolves, hyenas, and sharks. Viruses and bacteria are also known to swarm. Swarming is used across the entire spectrum of warfare and will play an instrumental role in all future conflicts. It includes various dispersed nodes moving in unison at a fast pace from all directions to form an intense assault on a target. This rapid movement of nodes upon a target is called a pulse. A node can be an aircraft, vehicle, ship, organization, group, or individual. Until the pulse occurs, the dispersed network remains formless, with each node on standby. When the signal is given, each open node in the area rapidly convergences onto the target. After the attack, the nodes disperse and wait for the next set of instructions. Each node can receive instructions from a commanding faction, or a peer unit which has detected a potential target. Electronic devices connect each node to an intelligence and surveillance system, which transmits nearly instantaneous instructions that allow them to move in unison toward the target without any planning or forethought. The MITRE and RAND Corporations have studied swarming for the DOD. See also #Swarming #Gangstalking
