Palladyne AI and Orkid Tech Partner to Extend Palladyne\u2122 Pilot and SwarmOS\u2122 Autonomy Platform to Fixed-Wing UAVs<\/b><\/p>\n

Agreement marks Palladyne AI\u2019s first fixed-wing UAV partnership, pairing Orkid Tech\u2019s fielded, NDAA-compliant UAVs with Palladyne AI\u2019s Pilot and SwarmOS software<\/i><\/p>\n

SALT LAKE CITY & DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Palladyne AI Corp.<\/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, and Orkid Tech, a developer of long-range, NDAA-compliant vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), today announced a collaboration to integrate its Palladyne Pilot and SwarmOS autonomy software with Orkid\u2019s fixed-wing UAV platform. The companies intend to develop integrated drone systems for the U.S. Department of War and commercial industrial markets, including oil & gas, power, wildfire management, and public safety, extending Palladyne AI\u2019s Pilot and SwarmOS platform into a new class of aircraft and adding a fixed-wing growth vector to its addressable market.<\/p>\n

\nThe companies will combine Orkid\u2019s proven, NDAA-compliant VTOL fixed-wing UAV platform with Palladyne AI\u2019s Pilot and SwarmOS autonomy software. Orkid\u2019s UAV takes off and lands without a runway, deploys in minutes, and features modular payload flexibility that can be reconfigured for different sensors depending on the mission. By adding Palladyne Pilot or SwarmOS to the Orkid UAV, the companies will deliver fixed-wing systems that operate autonomously, not simply with automated waypoint following or preprogrammed flight, enabling the aircraft to respond in real-time to evolving circumstances on the ground and in the air. The result is a multi-aircraft swarm that a single pilot can operate while reducing cognitive load.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis is our first partnership focused on bringing SwarmOS to fixed-wing aircraft, and it does so on a proven, fielded platform built for demanding missions,” said Ben Wolff, President and CEO of Palladyne AI. “For defense and industrial customers, it means a team of aircraft that will sense, decide, and act together, delivering sharper ISR in contested environments and faster, more complete inspection coverage for commercial operators. It also represents another step toward scaling Palladyne AI\u2019s hardware-agnostic software model and capturing the commercial deployment opportunities ahead.”<\/p>\n

\n“We evaluated a number of different possibilities for enabling autonomy on our UAVs. There is a lot of hype and overpromising when it comes to true autonomy on UAVs, but Palladyne AI is delivering real collaborative autonomy today. We just completed a joint field exercise with Palladyne AI, and we were able to see SwarmOS in action in the hands of soldiers in real-world exercises,” said Santiago Pinzon, CEO and co-founder of Orkid Tech. “The combination of our NDAA-compliant, long-duration, fixed-wing VTOL UAVs with Palladyne AI\u2019s collaborative autonomy software will deliver a compelling capability to both defense and industrial customers.”<\/p>\n
