Dr. Balsam Al-Kouz innovation is a drone-as-a-service (SDaaS) framework based on drone swarms. This framework enables coordinated fleets of lightweight drones to deliver goods and provide flexible communication services, overcoming the physical and regulatory limitations of individual drones.

Inspired by natural systems, such as flocks of birds, the framework treats the swarm as an intelligent service layer that dynamically coordinates multiple lightweight drones to perform tasks beyond their individual capacity.

This is achieved by splitting, merging, and rerouting the swarm based on real-time conditions (such as battery life and congestion).

By optimizing energy use through formation flight, the system operates on structured aerial networks for replenishment and regrouping. It is designed with fault recognition to ensure service continuity through immediate task redistribution.

Proven through physical testing platforms, the system provides a scalable and flexible service layer for next-generation urban logistics and communications. 

This allows cities and organizations to leverage the reliable capabilities of drones on demand for applications such as delivering urgent medical supplies or rapidly deploying communications networks in disaster zones.

Its future plans focus on securing swarm communications within the system, improving and developing free-flight networks into a reliable and programmable infrastructure for smart cities and crisis response.
