Managing Context and Communication in Distributed Agentic UAV Swarms

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms increasingly rely on language-model agents to provide adaptive mission-level reasoning in uncertain environments. Fully distributed control, in which each UAV hosts an independent Small Language Model (SLM), removes reliance on a centralized coordinator but introduces an information-management problem: long-running interaction histories can degrade the reasoning context, while indiscriminate information dissem
