“Autonomous drone swarming is becoming an imperative for strategic advantage and mission success on the modern battlefield. Near-peer adversaries are moving quickly to develop systems that can operate in coordinated, decentralized ways, and Apium’s proven, scalable swarm technology will help Red Cat remain at the forefront of this rapidly evolving space.”
Red Cat Holdings, Inc., announced it has acquired Apium Swarm Robotics, a California-based developer of distributed control systems for autonomous swarming drones and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). Apium will operate as an independent Red Cat company, continuing to develop and scale its multi-agent autonomy architecture for integration across Red Cat’s Family of Systems. The acquisition deepens Red Cat’s ability to deliver intelligent, adaptive unmanned systems that enable coordinated operations in contested and communication-degraded environments.
