  In the domain of unmanned vehicles, autonomous robotic swarms promise to
deliver increased efficiency and collective autonomy. How these swarms will
operate in the future, and what communication requirements and operational
boundaries will arise are yet to be sufficiently defined. A workshop was
conducted with 11 professional unmanned-vehicle operators and designers with
the objective of identifying use-cases for developing and testing robotic
swarms. Three scenarios were defined by experts and were then compiled to
produce a single use case outlining the scenario, objectives, agents,
communication requirements and stages of operation when collaborating with
highly autonomous swarms. Our compiled use case is intended for researchers,
designers, and manufacturers alike to test and tailor their design pipeline to
accommodate for some of the key issues in human-swarm ininteraction. Examples
of application include informing simulation development, forming the basis of
further design workshops, and identifying trust issues that may arise between
human operators and the swarm.
