Palladyne AI Awarded U.S. Army Contracts for SwarmOS\u2122 Autonomous Swarm Technology and Gremlin-X\u2122 Mini-Bomber UAV Under Competitive Disruptive Applications Program<\/b><\/p>\n

Competitive Army Selection Puts SwarmOS and Gremlin-X in the Hands of Warfighters Across Multiple Operational Exercises<\/i><\/p>\n

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Palladyne AI<\/a> (NASDAQ: PDYN), a U.S.-based defense and industrial technology company delivering embodied AI-powered collaborative autonomy solutions, advanced avionics, precision-manufactured components, UAVs, and advanced aerospace engineering services, today announced it has been awarded a pair of contracts to research, develop, and operationally validate SwarmOS and Gremlin-X with U.S. Army warfighters, competitively selected under the Army\u2019s Disruptive Applications Broad Agency Announcement.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe hardest problem in autonomous systems isn\u2019t making one platform smart, it\u2019s making heterogeneous platforms from different manufacturers collaborate intelligently without dependence on centralized infrastructure that adversaries can target and defeat,\u201d said Dr. Denis Garagic, Chief Technology Officer and Principal Investigator, Palladyne AI. \u201cWe solved that. SwarmOS operates on edge hardware in the field in degraded and denied communications environments. These contracts take that proven capability into Army operational validation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSwarmOS is Palladyne AI\u2019s edge AI autonomy and collaborative autonomy software stack that enables a single operator to command an entire team of autonomous unmanned systems from multiple manufacturers simultaneously\u2014a cross-platform, decentralized capability protected by Palladyne AI\u2019s patent portfolio.<\/p>\n

\nGuideTech is advancing Gremlin-X (formerly Banshee) as a low-cost, reusable Group 2 strike UAS designed to provide small, dispersed formations with an affordable means to engage time-critical targets without requiring centralized control, exquisite communications, or expendable airframes per strike.<\/p>\n

\nGremlin-X is a reusable but attritable multirotor UAV designed to deliver munitions with precision in denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) environments. In operation, Gremlin-X is an autonomous loitering munition that can return for reuse. Because the airframe is recovered, recurring cost per strike is driven primarily by the munition rather than the platform, a meaningful advantage over traditional loitering munitions.<\/p>\n

\nUnder the contract, Palladyne AI will demonstrate SwarmOS and Gremlin-X across a series of U.S. Army 4th Infantry Division (4ID) exercises in Colorado and California. These engagements will evaluate SwarmOS in direct support of 4ID Reconnaissance and Target Acquisition mission requirements, operating on Army-specified platforms via the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), the Army\u2019s widely deployed command-and-control interface.<\/p>\n

\nNorthern Strike 26-2 represents another major demonstration milestone of our capabilities. Palladyne AI will demonstrate SwarmOS, IntelliSwarm\u2122, and Gremlin-X at this premier Department of War joint exercise, involving more than 9,000 participants. For full details on the planned demonstration, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis contract marks a decisive shift in how the U.S. Army is engaging with autonomous systems, moving from evaluation to funded operational use in the field,\u201d said Doug Dynes, President of Palladyne Aerospace and Defense. \u201cThe 4ID experimentation program puts our technology directly in the hands of warfighters across multiple venues and mission sets. Northern Strike 26-2 will bring that validation into a joint exercise environment for the first time. For Palladyne AI, this will demonstrate our ability to be a trusted supplier of proven autonomy solutions and opens a strong pathway toward programs of record.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWith validated technology and an Army-awarded contract, Palladyne AI enters the second half of 2026 with clear visibility toward its next phase of defense contracts. For more information, please visit https:\/\/www.palladyneai.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
