Sure, picture each drone as a neuron in a distributed neural net, gossiping only with its nearest neighbors. Give each one a tiny Bloom filter for zone data so they can skip duplicate packets, keeping traffic linear instead of quadratic. Then add a lightweight hub that aggregates locally and pushes only a summary back to the cloud, so the backbone stays sparse. Prototype a swarm of ten first, log latency, tweak the gossip window, and we’ll have a proof‑of‑concept that shows we can map a disaster zone without drowning the network.

Got it, I’m on board—let’s fire up the first batch, test the edge‑Bloom, and watch that gossip window tighten like a well‑tuned servo. Bring the plan over, I’ll dive in.
