As part of this collaboration, OGT became the first U.S.-based company to integrate Swarmer’s autonomous software into its Chimera unmanned aircraft platform. Integration, testing and operational fielding were completed in late 2025 in Eastern Europe across a wide range of weather conditions and mission profiles. Approximately 100 test flights validated Swarmer’s autonomous capabilities designed to support elite U.S. Special Operations Forces across all military branches.

“Partnering with Swarmer is an important step for OGT and the customers we serve,” said Mark Gross, Chief Executive Officer of OGT. “Integrating Swarmer’s technology into our Chimera platform and putting it through its paces alongside elite SOF operators has given us valuable real-world insight. Just as importantly, it creates new opportunities to train warfighters with the autonomous capabilities that are urgently needed in current and future operations.”

The partnership builds on OGT’s expertise in ultra-realistic training environments and operational support, extending beyond technology integration to provide warfighters with opportunities to train on autonomous systems under realistic mission conditions. By combining the Chimera platform with Swarmer’s advanced autonomy, OGT is expanding its ability to support force modernisation through hands-on training, experimentation and operational evaluation that prepares SOF units for the evolving battlefield.

“Swarmer’s technology has been deployed in more than 100,000 missions under the most arduous conditions – actual combat operations,” said Alex Fink, President and U.S. Chief Executive Officer of Swarmer. “The volume of data collected from these real-world missions in Ukraine has given us a compounding advantage that simply can’t be replicated in labs or test ranges. Working with OGT has enabled us to further validate our battle-tested software on their proven U.S. platform, ensuring SOF operators have access to intelligent autonomous capabilities that are ready to be deployed swiftly when it’s needed the most.”

Following the initial integration and validation effort, the integrated Chimera systems remained overseas to support continued testing, operator evaluation and training. In early 2026, the test units were returned to OGT’s headquarters in the U.S., enabling both companies to incorporate valuable operational feedback to support future mission and training requirements.

OGT and Swarmer are committed to accelerating innovation in autonomous systems by delivering scalable, mission-ready solutions that enhance operational readiness, advance realistic training and strengthen mission effectiveness for the U.S. Department of War, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, allied partners and the broader defense community.
