German-American defense company Auterion recently announced that they have delivered the first AI-guided swarm strike engine that works across multiple manufacturers. The strike engine, Nemyx, allows multiple drones to act as a single, coordinated unit. Any drone powered by AuterionOS can be enabled for swarming at scale through just a software upgrade.
A demonstration video shows a swarm autonomously engaging two separate tank targets at the same time, with multiple drones coordinating each strike seamlessly.
“Nemyx takes autonomous defense capabilities to a new level,” said Lorenz Meier, CEO of Auterion. “By combining real-time AI, computer vision, and Skynode S-equipped drones, we’ve created a solution that rapidly identifies, prioritizes, and neutralizes multiple threats. Soldiers can deploy swarms that operate as a single force – whether from a rucksack or a truckload.”
First of Its Kind
The demonstration is the first global showcase of a kinetic swarm system coordinating drones from multiple manufacturers. Auterion says Nemyx is built on their operational experience, including deployments in Ukraine, and will be rolled out with local software and hardware partners to integrate into their ecosystem.
Real-time AI and computer vision enable multiple targets to be engaged simultaneously, increasing operational effectiveness, precision, and survivability while reducing mission complexity. The system can scale from small units to large formations and is delivered as an app on AuterionOS, compatible with Auterion’s SLM-10 reference design and Skynode avionics.
Future of Skynode
Auterion is currently shipping more than 33,000 Skynode units to Ukraine, with global deliveries expected to surpass 50,000 units within six months, all capable of receiving the Nemyx swarm upgrade.
“Nemyx transforms individual drones into a coordinated swarm, multiplying missionimpact and operational efficiency,” Meier added. “It’s a decisive advancement in unmanned systems, making autonomous drones operational at scale.”
