- 4CompanyPalladyne™ IQ
Palladyne AI · Supports System
“Palladyne™ IQ is a closed-loop autonomy software that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to provide human-like reasoning capabilities for industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots). By enabling robots to perceive variations or changes in the real-world environment and adapt to them dynamically, Palladyne IQ helps make robots smarter today and ready to handle jobs that have historically been too complex to automate.”
- 5CompanyPalladyne Pilot
Palladyne AI · Supports System
“Drone-based missions are personnel-intensive, requiring multiple roles and shifts to maintain situational awareness. Tactical UAVs, in particular, face challenges with manual control, real-time decision-making, and persistent target tracking, especially in highly variable environments. The Palladyne Pilot AI Software Platform is designed to enhance your team’s operational effectiveness and oversight of tactical UAV missions by enabling a network of collaborating drones and multi-modal sensors that self-orchestrate to provide superior capabilities for applications including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).”
- 6CompanySwarmOS
Palladyne AI · Supports System
“SwarmOS is patented swarming and autonomy software that allows multiple autonomous systems—drones, robots, and sensors—to work together as an intelligent, coordinated team across domains, resulting in a self-organizing heterogeneous swarm. Designed for autonomous cross-platform coordination, information sharing, collaboration interoperability, advanced perception, and discriminating autonomy, SwarmOS enables precise harm mitigation and decisive mission execution for modern tactical warfare.”
- 7CompanyBrain X2
Palladyne AI · Supports System
“The BRAIN X2 is Palladyne AI’s advanced flight computer and edge-AI system for autonomous and semi-autonomous UAV platforms.”
- 8CompanyIntelliSwarm
Palladyne AI · Supports System
“IntelliSwarm™ unites SwarmOS™, Palladyne AI collaborative swarming software, with the BRAIN X2 edge-AI flight module to create a fully integrated system for distributed mission autonomy. The result: an intelligent, plug-and-fight autonomy suite that enables cross-platform UAVs to sense, decide, and act together, even in the world’s most contested domains.”
- 9CompanyGremlin-X™
Palladyne AI · Supports System
“Gremlin-X is a next-generation reusable mini-bomber currently under development. Designed for precision engagement in GPS- and communications-denied environments, Gremlin-X represents a breakthrough in embodied AI, cost-effective lethality, and precision harm mitigation.”
- 10CompanySwarmStrike™
Palladyne AI · Supports System
“SwarmStrike is a next-generation autonomous weapons platform currently under development. Designed to redefine the future of precision-strike warfare. Built to operate in GPS- and communications-denied environments, SwarmStrike embodies the convergence of artificial intelligence, affordability, and scalable lethality. It is engineered to deliver decisive effects through mass deployment, empowering the U.S. Department of War and its allied forces with a cost-effective, attritable system that maintains precision and ethical control in contested battlespaces.”
