Palladyne AI Appoints Former MARSOC Commander and U.S. Special Operations Command Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Mark A. “Droopy” Clark (Ret.) to Defense Advisory Board<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nClark\u2019s command of Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and his prior service as Director of Operations and Chief of Staff at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) give Palladyne AI direct line of sight into how MARSOC and the broader special operations community define, evaluate, and field new technology. His experience will help inform how Palladyne AI applies and positions its portfolio of low-cost, attritable systems and the components that enable them, coupled with SwarmOS\u2122 collaborative autonomy software, for the direct action, special reconnaissance, and distributed operations MARSOC executes.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSpecial operations forces operate in environments where complexity, time pressure, and communications constraints are the norm,\u201d said Clark. \u201cThe next generation of autonomous systems must make small teams more effective without adding complexity for the operator. Palladyne AI\u2019s focus on edge autonomy, collaborative systems, and practical human-machine teaming is aligned with the kind of capability the force needs as autonomous operations scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n“Gen. Clark joins us at a pivotal moment,” said Ben Wolff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Palladyne AI. “Palladyne AI is building a vertically integrated capability for the U.S. Department of War that includes collaborative autonomy, the systems and munitions it commands, and the American manufacturing base behind them. Leaders of Gen. Clark\u2019s caliber choose to advise Palladyne AI because they believe in that capability and its potential for the mission.”<\/p>\n

\nClark joins a growing roster of retired general and flag officers on Palladyne AI\u2019s Defense Advisory Board whose firsthand command experience informs the Company\u2019s technology development, customer engagement, and fielding strategies for advanced autonomous systems.<\/p>\n

\nPalladyne AI\u2019s defense portfolio pairs SwarmOS, its collaborative autonomy software that lets a single operator command a heterogeneous team of unmanned systems at the edge, without continuous centralized control, with the low-cost attritable systems that mission sets demand. These include Gremlin-X\u2122, a next-generation reusable mini-bomber; SwarmStrike\u2122, an autonomous precision-strike weapons platform; and the combat-proven HARPY, HAROP, and Mini HARPY loitering munitions Palladyne AI will manufacture and integrate for the U.S. Department of War through its partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).<\/p>\n
