The core artificial intelligence framework that enables Vespid's drone platforms to operate as coordinated swarms without centralized control. ASIP distributes decision-making across every drone in a swarm, allowing the collective to adapt to changing conditions, route around losses, and pursue complex tactical objectives through emergent behavior. No individual drone contains enough processing power to plan or strategize — intelligence emerges only from the interactions between drones, like neurons forming thoughts in a brain. If a swarm is large enough, the emergent intelligence exhibits behaviors that Vespid's own engineers cannot predict from the underlying code.
