Re: “function as a single coordinated swarm with one human operator,”
That's the major problem with underwater drones, it's hard to think of any method of getting data to the surface/another vehicle fast enough to make them useful as an off board sensor. Sonobouys are probably the closest thing to the concept and they have an antenna on the surface for that exact reason, which doesn't show a lot of progress in the last 70 years.
