Interactive simulation of flocking algorithms and game artificial intelligence by Ng, Jack Pei Sheng.

“…However, it is lacking in having a navigation system that is able to have a formation react to dynamic obstacles as a group instead of breaking up to overcome the obstacle. For example, in a military simulation, it might be desired to have the entire group stay in formation while manoeuvring from one point to another even when faced with an obstacle. …”
