The chapter discusses swarm tactics in drone warfare, comparing it to bees working together despite individual losses.
It's kind of like a swarm of bees, where each individual bee knows what it must do and can make its own decisions. If one bee next to it gets killed, the others will continue swarming to sting. China hasn't demonstrated these drones, but showed how the swarming tactic would work with another aircraft.

This chapter introduces the strategic importance of drones and their ability to operate in coordinated networks.
The military hasn't said how it will manage a large network like this remotely. Drone experts say the key would be to program them with sophisticated sensors to communicate with each other, so they approach the target together while avoid crashing into one another. If the swarming drones can work in the real world, this cheaper unit could help exhaust an enemy's missile defense system.
