Rhea-AI Summary

Palladyne AI (NASDAQ: PDYN) and Red Cat Holdings (NASDAQ: RCAT) have achieved a significant milestone with their first successful multi-drone collaborative autonomous flight. The test demonstrated multiple Teal drones equipped with Palladyne Pilot AI software autonomously working together to identify, prioritize, and track ground targets while sharing multi-modal sensor information.

This achievement follows their December 2024 demonstration of single-drone autonomous capabilities. The technology enables drones to collaborate under constrained communication conditions, allowing a single operator to manage multiple drones with reduced cognitive load. The companies believe this capability will provide tactical advantages in military applications.

Palladyne AI expects to make the Palladyne Pilot software commercially available by the end of Q1 2025.
