The project focuses on two core technologies: SwarmOS and the Gremlin-X mini-bomber. SwarmOS provides a decentralized control architecture, enabling a single operator to manage diverse unmanned systems from multiple manufacturers without the need for constant, centralized connectivity. Complementing this, the Gremlin-X is a low-cost, reusable drone platform specifically engineered to deploy munitions in environments where traditional communications are denied or jammed.

Palladyne will deploy these systems during a series of upcoming U.S. Army exercises across Colorado and California. These field evaluations are intended to determine how the technologies integrate into broader military workflows and perform under the strain of active combat simulations.
