AI swarming software planned for IAI Harpy/Harop loitering munitions

Palladyne AI and Israel Aerospace Industries plan to integrate new AI swarming software onto the battle-proven Harpy and Harop loitering munitions for potential US Army programs like LRPM. The novelty is the proposed swarm/AI-enabled coordinated employment of existing drones, which could improve target saturation and resilience versus air defenses/EW if fielded.
