Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are widely used in literature for object detection utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNN). However, most UAVs make use of GNSS sensors for localization, which have low reception in indoor situations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the implementation of a multi-UAV object detection system and navigation with the aid of particle swarm optimization (PSO) in ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning systems for GNSSdenied environments, such as inside factories and warehouses. The performance of UWB systems was investigated to determine its viability in the PSO model. An object detection system based on the YOLOv5 network was trained with custom training images and subsequently evaluated with test images. The results of the object detection network were fed as inputs into PSO algorithms. Furthermore, different PSO algorithms were evaluated to determine the suitability for multi-UAV navigation and object detection. The results showed that UWB systems had sufficient accuracy for indoor localization, object detection, and navigation applications. YOLOv5 detection model detected objects with an F1 score of 0.93, given the optimal threshold of 0.8. Regarding the evaluation of PSO algorithms, the stochastic inertia weight variant of PSO algorithms (Sto-IW PSO) performed effectively across all metrics considered in the study compared to other algorithms that only performed effectively in one. Recommendations included the actual implementation of the system with multiple UAVs through field experiments and further refinements to PSO algorithms in order to match the kinematics and response time of the UAVs.
