Abstract	This paper discussed the fundamental problems and practical issues underlying the deployment of large numbers of autonomously functioning vehicles operating with high-level commands from human operators. Results were presented from a recent MARS 2020 demonstration of a team of UGVs and UAVs engaged in reconnaissance and surveillance tasks, and the coordinated deployment for search, identification and localization of targets. Finally, research and technology thrusts in the SWARMS project (www.swarms.org) were described, whose goals are to develop a framework and methodology for the analysis of swarming behavior in biology and the synthesis of bio-inspired swarming behavior for engineered systems.
