What does this mean?

Five of ten traits have been demonstrated across different systems. This review adds sources but does not establish one system combining all ten.

Confidence: Medium

Why we cannot add the traits together

Five traits on five different systems would not make one system with five traits. A combined claim needs observations of the same system in compatible conditions.

5 of 10 traits shown somewhere. This is not the chance that the full threat exists.

What has been observed

Two-property combinations are supported within individual research platforms. The complete ten-property scenario is not established.

Swift

Makes decisions onboard + Moves fast

Onboard autonomy and speed in the same trained racing task.

ZJU micro-drone swarm

Makes decisions onboard + Coordinates as a swarm

Onboard autonomy and coordination; author abstract inspected, detailed protocol still open.

These rows cannot be combined. Shared software names or separate demonstrations do not establish simultaneous integration.

Other explanations to consider

All ten work together

Not established. Partial combinations and integration announcements remain relevant signals.

Different systems show different traits

Best fit to the publications we checked, with medium confidence. Platform and environment boundaries remain decisive.

Some reports repeat untested claims

Fits some promotional signals; cannot explain away physical experimental results.

Not everything becomes public

Unresolved. Missing public logs are gaps, not proof of existence or absence.
