Rocket One Inc. (NASDAQ: RKTO) on Tuesday introduced Swarm Stage AI, a drone-swarm threat-emulation platform built for counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) training and evaluation. The Hoboken, N.J.-based company said the platform leverages swarm-coordination technology previously used to synchronize thousands of aircraft in commercial applications.
The system includes a library of more than 2,500 field-tested formations and flight assets, enabling large-scale swarm coordination, AI-driven threat building, 3D mission preview, and custom scenario creation. Rocket One emphasized that Swarm Stage AI is designed, developed, and operated in the United States, aligning with U.S. military and defense requirements.
Robb Knie, chief executive officer of Rocket One, stated that coordinated drone attacks are reshaping modern warfare, requiring defense systems to adapt beyond single-drone detection. "A system designed to detect or defeat a single drone must increasingly be prepared to confront coordinated groups of drones arriving simultaneously," Knie said.
The company is offering Swarm Stage AI for capabilities briefings, demonstrations, and evaluations. Rocket One noted that the platform's availability does not constitute a contract, procurement commitment, endorsement, certification, or selection by the U.S. Department of Defense, any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, or other government agencies.
