Palladyne AI Receives U.S. Air Force Contract to Advance Swarming Capabilities for Integrated Cross-Domain Operations
Palladyne AI secured a U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory contract, dubbed HANGTIME, to fuse its patented SwarmOS platform across satellite, aerial, maritime and ground systems. The effort targets the longstanding challenge of making autonomous assets operate as a coordinated team rather than isolated units. By embedding SwarmOS into a hierarchical, game‑theoretic framework, the project will enable real‑time intelligence sharing and joint decision‑making across domains. HANGTIME represents the first AI framework that explicitly incorporates space‑based assets into a unified swarming architecture.
