This guy made an autonomous drone swarm of 12 drones similar to what you describe.
The overral objective was for any drone within the swarm to immediately chase and ram into the first human it could locate. The processes were automated and could be triggered while unattended.
For reasons the video explains, letting 12 drones all try to independantly do the same thing at the same time was not going to work, so he came up with ghis structure.
1 server that processed the video feeds from the drones using AI trained to recognize humans/human faces
1 C&C computer that sent master commands and stuffs .... and maybe the computer flight code ...?
12 drones assigned to their own LAN making them a virtual group
4 of these drones were designated as flight leaders. They sent data from their cameras to the video processing server and recieved targetting results back. Sent target and flight instructions to the two drones assigned to them.
2 drones are assigned to each flight leader drone forming a single unit. They only communicate with their flight leader. They do what it does.
I know ... it isnt anywhere near what would be required for combat use, but come on... in the last test, his drones did what they were supposed to do; every single one of them automatically attacked the first human being they detected immediately. Better yet, they did it in unison. More better of all, all of them him.
This guy did this with cheap, off the shelf parts, by himself, during his downtime at home as a joke for Youtube.

I'm pretty sure this is how we are going to get sophisticated autonomous weapons. Everyone is screaming and shouting how dangerous they are and then some dude wants to get a quick laugh or prove everyone else wrong and inadvertently creates a high quality weapon.
