Apium Swarm Robotics has partnered with Red Cat Holdings to advance swarming autonomy for tactical drones.
The partnership aims to bring scalable and resilient drone swarms into tactical defence operations.
On November 4, 2025, Apium and Red Cat signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) under which Apium will join Red Cat's "Futures Initiative" consortium.
The goal is to accelerate the deployment of advanced, interoperable unmanned systems (UxS) for defence and national security operations.
Apium's swarm-autopilot and ground control system were integrated into Red Cat's Teal 2 drone platform and demonstrated at the U.S. Army's ACM-UAS Industry Day.
Apium's approach shifts the "swarm logic" from a central ground station to the drones themselves.
