TZ Swarm Attack

ZAZZU

A large group of flying drones is a swarm.

Together, the drones exhibit emergent behavior which surpasses the simple operations by any single unit.

“ Swarm attacks generally follow a circling pattern with sudden vectoring towards the target. ”

Stigmergy is a mechanism of indirect coordination between agents or actions. The principle is that the trace left in the environment by an action stimulates the performance of a next action, by the same or a different agent. In that way, subsequent actions tend to reinforce and build on each other, leading to the spontaneous emergence of coherent, apparently systematic activity.

Features

TAG, YOU HIT! - Jr Corps practice working together under pressure and maneuvering while under attack by opposing forces utilizing laser-directed simulated munitions
Keywords: - -
Each TZJC member moves in step with their battle buddy, and covers their zones to achieve their next objective!

OPERATION STORM RACE: TZJC plan and execute a 3 mile recon hike, recording signs of wildlife along the way.
Keywords: - Nature - - -
Completion of the hike was faced by a looming deadline in the form of a swiftly approaching storm that brought heavy winds and snow to the area. Junior Corps members, who had to perform all planning activities on their own initiative, managed to complete all required steps and successfully perform the hike.

STEM RESEARCH DAY: Jr Corps team members explored the sciences at the STEM action center
Keywords: - -
TZJC members explored approaches to teamwork and basic engineering by building rudimentary structures from block materials, firing an air cannon at human targets, taking control of robot warriors in a battlebot ring, performing basic laboratory functions, and taking command of a simulated drone control station.

FISH FARMERS: A visit to a fish hatchery allows TZ JC members to inspect a hatchery facility and answer questions to fish and game officials.
Keywords: - Nature - - Public Policy - - Fish -
Over 200 thousand fish per year are raised and released into rivers, streams and lakes from this facility. Teame members were taken through the entire process, learning interesting facts at each step along the way. The process of liquid water oxygenation and mobile high population transport methods were particular subjects of focus during question and answer sessions.

OPERATION STORMSTEP: Cold-weather equipment tests, patrol movement drills, and signals run-throughs with K9 training support in a foothills peak ascent in a pre-dawn granite-step trail environment
Keywords: - Readiness - - Exercises - - -
Two team elements left the departure point and moved from dense brush to hilltop along designated rally points. A forward scout element located and identified light source contacts. Contacts were tracked as they moved rapidly through the operation area.
