MUMBAI, India, Jan. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511105685 A) filed by Sooryauday Aerial Vehicles Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, on Oct. 31, 2025, for 'collaborative autonomy system and method for uav swarms performing isr missions in contested or complex environments.'
Inventor(s) include Kashish Upadhyay.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a collaborative autonomy system and method for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms performing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions in contested or complex environments. The system enables distributed mission planning, dynamic task allocation, and self-healing coordination among UAVs through autonomous decision-making and communication resilience. Mission tasks are encapsulated into task capsules containing executable behavior logic, operational constraints, expected outputs, and resource budgets, allowing modular task transfer between UAVs. When a UAV encounters overload or obstruction, a help-on-demand procedure is executed in which assisting UAVs are selected based on a scoring function that evaluates distance and terrain-fit factor. The system and method also employ silence-aware logic to sustain ISR operations during communication loss and a stealth return mode that activates upon fuel, time, or risk thresholds, ensuring continuous and adaptive mission performance."
