Darpa's System F6 ... 'Transformers' in Space?

"The goal of the System F6 program is to demonstrate a radically
new space system composed of a heterogeneous network of
formation flying or loosely connected small satellite modules
that will, working together, provide at least the same effective
mission capability of a large monolithic satellite."

"The System F6 will partition the tasks performed by monolithic
spacecraft (power, receivers, control modules, etc.) and assign
each task to a dedicated small or micro satellite.
This program will develop, design, and test new space system
architectures and technologies required to successfully decompose
a spacecraft into fundamental elements. Such architectures
include, but are not limited to, ultra-secure intra-system wireless
data communications, wireless power systems, electromagnetic
formation flying systems, remote attitude determination systems,
structure-less optical and RF arrays, distributed spacecraft
computing systems, and reliable, robust, rapidly re-locatable
ground systems.
