Swarm of drones are increasingly being asked to carry out missions that can’t be completed by one drone. Particularly, in delivery, issues arise due to the swarm’s limited flight endurance. Hence, we propose a novel formation-guided framework for selecting Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for delivery. A detailed study is carried out to highlight the effect of swarm formations on energy consumption. Two SDaaS selection approaches, i.e. Fixed and Adaptive, are designed considering the…
