The commercial drone industry faces a critical scalability bottleneck: the "1:1 Ratio," where increasing fleet size linearly increases human cognitive load. COV—Cognitive Orchestration & Vision—is a novel architectural framework that decouples mission intent from flight execution, shifting the human role from "pilot" to "supervisor."
COV—Cognitive Orchestration & Vision—didn't emerge from speculative futurism. It emerged from a convergence of existing systems, peer-reviewed research, and a coordination problem that modern autonomy still hasn't solved. The bottleneck isn't perception or mobility. It's coordination under cognitive load.
What people underestimate about multi-drone systems isn't flight—it's continuity. Drones don't fail dramatically most of the time. They drift, batteries dip, links degrade, one unit quietly peels off. Unless someone is watching closely, a hole opens in coverage. That's where most systems break.
