Research abstract

Our approach to delivering affordable mass at theater range has the potential to operationalize distributed approaches to logistics and sustainment now being envisioned, particularly for Agile Combat Employment (ACE) operations in the Pacific theater for Great Power Competition. Our highly differentiated, flexible, and modular approach will enable fundamentally new logistical and sustainment paradigms. Swarm Aero has assembled a team with deep experience and proven track records in autonomy, software development, aerospace, defense, and building profitable AI/ML companies.
