Partnership Develops Modular Autonomous Airborne Counter-UAS System
Federal Ammunition, Mossberg, and Palladyne AI have announced a joint development partnership for SwarmShot, a modular autonomous airborne counter-UAS system. The system will combine Federal’s specialized counter-UAS shotshell ammunition, a lightweight Mossberg weapon module, and Palladyne AI’s IntelliSwarm autonomy system. Initially, SwarmShot will be developed as a modular mission add-on for Palladyne AI’s Gremlin-X Group 1 quadcopter mini-bomber, with plans for future integration with compatible third-party drones. This development was first reported by RoboticsTomorrow.
