The growing emergence of UAV swarms in industrial and security applications such as search-and-rescue and emergency response underlines a need for efficient and accurate aerial navigation in potentially cluttered and dynamic environments. However, the introduction of multiple drones presents a two-fold complexity within the collaboration space: 1) the agents must be able to perform some desired task(s) cooperatively or independently, and 2) the agents must avoid colliding into one another (or other obstacles) in the process. In this work, we investigate a conceptual method for path planning and teaming behaviors for UAV swarms. Specifically, we explore the conceptual implementation of a gravitational-inspired spatial organization and path planning method for autonomously controlling a UAV swarm in a simple wayfinding scenario. The method models drones and the environment itself with characteristics of orbital dynamics. Preliminary experiments are demonstrated, showing the potential applicability to individual drone navigation and obstacle avoidance, along with a proposed concept for swarming behaviors. Keywords: drones, teaming, swarm, wayfinding, autonomy
