On October 21, 2025, Draganfly Inc. and Palladyne AI Corp. announced a partnership to embed Palladyne’s Pilot AI software into Draganfly’s unmanned aerial vehicle platforms. The announcement, released via Business Wire, states that the two companies will work together to enhance Draganfly’s drones with advanced autonomy and swarming capabilities. Palladyne Pilot is described as an edge‑based, platform‑agnostic AI system that enables multiple UAVs to operate as a coordinated team under a single operator. The integration will allow Draganfly’s drones to perform autonomous target tracking, collaborative ISR, and self‑organizing swarm missions, features that were previously limited to larger, more expensive systems. By adding these capabilities, Draganfly expands its value proposition to government, defense, and commercial customers, positioning its platforms as more versatile and cost‑effective. The partnership is expected to accelerate product development and could lead to new contracts, thereby enhancing Draganfly’s market differentiation and potential revenue streams.
