AB  - With the developing drone-related technologies, autonomous drones have many applications. The offloading technique is used to execute high computational tasks that are stored in the cloud to preserve the limited resources of a drone. In this paper, we determine the effect of offloading by using cost analysis for swarm-drones considering task completion time and energy consumption. If the drones take more time and spend more energy while offloading their tasks to the cloud, drones divide a large task into small tasks. These tasks are run by using the drone’s own resources to process data reliably and efficiently. Our simulation results also show how the task completion time and the energy consumption infuence the offloading decision.
