Commercially Proven
Technology refined through years of large scale drone light show operations.
One soldier. The power of a thousand.

100% domestic manufacturing, Auburn Hills, MI
Complete Vertical Integration
Designing the drones, building the software, and operating the systems to rapidly deploy swarm capabilities.
Domestic Defense
Defense drones designed and built in the United States
Swarm Defense was built on the foundation of nearly a decade of commercial swarm operations. The same experience that powers hundreds of drone deployments each year now drives the development of our defense platforms and software.

Vertical Integration
We Own the Stack
Software, hardware, electronics, and manufacturing are developed under one roof. This integrated approach allows us to rapidly deploy new capabilities, maintain complete control of the user experience, and deliver systems optimized to work together from day one.

[ Select The Fleet ]
The Swarm Threat Emulator (STE) provides realistic drone swarm training for C-UAS teams. Operators can quickly deploy coordinated drone attacks that replicate the tactics and flight patterns seen in modern conflicts, allowing units to train against realistic threats at a fraction of the cost of live adversary systems. The STE consists of reusable target drones, a ground control station, and Swarm Studio mission planning software.

9 Years
With over 9 years of experience building and flying large quantities of drones, our team developed its foundation in the commercial drone light show industry where reliability, synchronization and operating at scale are critical. That experience now drives the development of our swarm systems, manufacturing processes and operational software.
25 Thousand +
Our platforms have accumulated over 25,000 flight hours across swarm operations, testing and continuous field use. That experience has allowed us to rapidly refine our hardware, software and operational workflows through thousands of flights at scale.
2 Thousand +
We’ve flown swarms of over 2,000 drones simultaneously with a single operator in control. Built from years of real world swarm experience, our systems are designed to scale rapidly while maintaining coordinated, reliable flight at high volumes.
Real time path deconfliction
Adaptive Swarm Coordination
Real time path deconfliction through the Swarm Studio engine, continuously coordinating every active airframe to prevent collisions, maintain formation integrity, and dynamically adapt flight paths as the swarm moves through contested or changing environments.
C-UAS Training & Targetry
Configurable target drone systems for realistic threat replication at scale. Used by Army, Air Force, and Navy C-UAS programs.
Strike Deck
One operator can manage a formation of FPV drones simultaneously with automated path deconfliction and coordinated mission planning.
GPS-Denied Operations
Designed to continue operating when GPS is unavailable and communications are challenged. Resilient navigation and secure communications help keep missions on track in contested environments.
