MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511134505 A) filed by Dipika Badri; and Suresh Babu Suram on December 31, 2025, for Distributed Reactive Directed-Energy Threat Detection And Response Architecture For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarms.

Inventors include Dipika Badri; and Suresh Babu Suram.

The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a distributed reactive directed-energy threat detection and response System (100) for a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (300) includes a directed-energy threat detection module (110) configured to detect a directed-energy exposure (140) based on localized thermal, optical, electromagnetic, or combined signatures. Upon detection, a local response module (120) autonomously initiates response actions, and an onboard processing unit (190) generates threat notification and incident data (150) that is disseminated via a decentralized communication module (130) over a decentralized swarm communication network (160). A swarm adaptive behavior module (210) coordinates adaptive responses including swarm dispersion behavior (220), swarm reconfiguration behavior (230), evasive trajectory modification behavior (240), and formation adjustment behavior (250) under control of a flight control module (180). A cooperative threat localization module (260) derives localized threat information (270), which may be communicated to an external threat response system (170).
