Swarm Overview
Swarm Overview
Swarm mode coordinates multiple drones across a single operating area. You define a roster, plan a single field, and Pathfinder Copilot partitions the work across the fleet automatically. The same lifecycle as Single mode — Plan, HW Check, Fly, Review — but with per-drone state visible at every step.
When to use Swarm vs Single
Switch to swarm mode
Click the 02 Swarm tab in the top bar of the app. The Single Shell is replaced by the Swarm Shell. Your last selected sub-tab (Plan / HW Check / Fly / Review) is remembered separately for each mode.
The mission summary
The top-right of the page shows a Mission Summary card:
GPS pts — total raw GPS points captured.
Det — total detections recorded.
Duration — total elapsed time from Run to Stop.
Fused source breakdown — histogram of which fusion source dominated each segment of the flight (VO / EKF / seed). Useful for understanding where the EKF was confident vs leaning on visual odometry.
Open the classifier
Below the summary is the Classifier card. Click Open classifier to launch the classification flow with this mission's detections pre-loaded as mines. See Classifier for the full walkthrough.
Export report
Click Export report (the link below Open classifier) to download a self-contained report of the mission. Useful for archiving or sharing with stakeholders who don't have Copilot installed.
