IntelliSwarm™
Adaptive, Intelligent Mission Autonomy at Scale
The Convergence of Hardware Intelligence and Ethical Autonomy
IntelliSwarm™ unites SwarmOS™, Palladyne AI’s adaptive 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.
From Coordination to Collective Intelligence
IntelliSwarm allows multiple autonomous systems, including drones, robots, and sensors, to work together as an intelligent, coordinated team across domains, resulting in a heterogeneous swarm.
Each node in the swarm, powered by IntelliSwarm, perceives, plans, and acts independently, while sharing mission context through a secure mesh network. The result is an adaptive, resilient swarm that maintains coordination and mission continuity even when communications are constrained.
-
Distributed Intelligence
Every vehicle becomes a decision-maker, not just a follower. -
Mission Continuity
Swarms reassign roles and adapt to platform losses or threats in real time. -
Ethical Autonomy
Embedded discrimination logic ensures compliance with ethical engagement standards.
Core Features & Capabilities
Integrated Autonomy Stack
Combines SwarmOS adaptive software with BRAIN X2 edge computing and sensor fusion to enable real-time, decentralized decisioning.
Plug & Fight WOSA Compatibility
Designed in alignment with DoD’s Weapons Open Systems Architecture (WOSA) for rapid platform integration and reduced lifecycle cost.
Collaborative Swarming
Mesh-networked connectivity allows multi-class, multi-vendor UAVs to coordinate seamlessly across domains.
Resilient Operations
Maintains navigation and mission execution in denied or degraded conditions through onboard intelligence and AI-driven perception.
AI-Enhanced ISR & Strike Coordination
Enables coordinated reconnaissance, target designation, and precision engagement with minimal latency.
Scalable Force Projection
Lightweight, attritable design makes mass deployment affordable, maximizing effect while minimizing risk and cost.
Operational Applications
IntelliSwarm can deliver adaptive autonomy for a range of defense and homeland security missions:
-
Tactical Air Superiority
Multi-airframe swarms conduct suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), deception, and saturation missions. -
Persistent ISR
Distributed UAV teams share real-time sensor data to maintain situational awareness across wide areas. -
Maritime and Littoral Operations
Autonomous surface and aerial nodes coordinate search, tracking, and strike support under contested comms. -
Resilient Logistics & Rescue
Operates autonomously in degraded environments to deliver supplies or locate personnel even when communications are constrained.
Field-Ready Architecture
IntelliSwarm is designed for rapid deployment across existing and emerging platforms. The combination of SwarmOS™ autonomy software, BRAIN X2 compute, and WOSA-compatible interfaces enables readiness, interoperability, and future scalability.
