Scenarios Involving Drone Swarm Attacks

[DWReese]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a scenario that someone may have created that involves drone swarm attacks. I've been looking into this a little bit lately, and I'd like to see what some of our scenario creators may have come up with.

Additionally, anything with lasers being used to defend some ships would also be welcomed.

If you can recommend some scenarios involving drone attacks and/or laser defenses, I'd sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

It might be easier to make a scenario. Swarm attacks could be modeled by a patrol mission with a large group of UCAV's. You can also use loitering munitions, but they may just take a bee-line to the target and not really swarm.

Some options:

Armed UCAV:

Loitering Munitions:

For laser operations, a few options exist:

Thank you so much.

I just conducted a small battle where 6 were launched/fired at a British warship. It was very interesting. They are small and hard to see, and even harder to shoot. They should be fun. It opens up a whole new avenue for scenario creation.

Regarding laser, the most evident is The laser dance, 2024. Scenario done by XVCV.

Code: Select all

Date/Time: 05-05-2024 / 09:00:00 Zulu
Location: Okinawa

Introduction

A few hours ago, China declared war on the United States and its two major alliances in the Pacific. Right after the war declaration, a massive Chinese ballistic missile strike had initiated. Many air bases in Japan and South Korea have neutralized, their air forces in the region suffered critical losses.

When a large scale of Chinese naval activity is detected near Okinawa Island, the United States Pacific Command made a decision to save one of its hidden cards, a Surface Action Group which was conducting tests of new weaponry in the region.

Scenario Notes:

In this small scenario, You will control a Surface Action Group of two warships with two special weaponry: HELIOS Laser CIWS and AGS Hyper Velocity Projectile. So use these advantages wisely.

Thanks for the tip about the Laser Dance. I will try to find that one. It seems to be to be exactly what I want.

I did successfully engage a swarm of 6using a US Destroyer, and that was really neat, and new.

Thanks again.

Thanks.

I'll check those out as well.
