Research abstract
TECHNICAL ABSTRACTOVERVIEWThis R/R&D project focuses on developing air-launched long range one-way platforms and autonomous systems to revolutionize the Air Force and the Joint Forceĺs capabilities across the spectrum of conflict and great power competition. The technology being developed addresses the rapidly growing requirement for high production rates of various unmanned systems to counter China and Russia.áTECHNICAL MERITSwarm Dynamics AI utilizes exclusive and novel means for rapidly producing long range unmanned systems with novel manufacturing and design technology at a rate exponentially higher than the current state of the art. Unique AI-driven manufacturing with novel raw materials is the foundation of the technical merit.áTEAMSwarm Dynamics AI is led by a team with deep expertise in AI, defense, and commercial drone use. Co-founder Jesse Hamel (CEO), a former AC-130 Gunship Aviator, USAF Drone Squadron commander, and graduate student at MIT is joined by Jordan Hamel (CTO), a career software engineer with extensive AI and cloud computing experience (ex-Microsoft, ex-Stripe). Swarm Dynamics AI is also joined by top researchers from MIT, Arizona State University, and the RTX Corporation AI Laboratory. Their combined military and technological insights will drive the successful development of this advanced technology.
