Swarm Defense Technologies builds U.S.-made military drone swarms, including attack drones, target drones for counter-UAS training, and the software that lets one operator control many aircraft at once. The company spun out of Firefly Drone Shows in 2024 and manufactures in Auburn Hills, Michigan. It was selected for the Department of War's Drone Dominance Program and received a prototype order for 4,000 Kiwi one-way attack drones worth at least $25 million.
What sets it apart
Swarm-coordination software from drone light shows, proven at 2,000+ drones flown at once, paired with domestic NDAA-compliant manufacturing that can produce 72,000 units a year.
