Rocket One Inc. has launched Swarm Stage AI, a large-scale drone swarm threat emulation platform for counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) training, testing and evaluation.
The company is adapting swarm-coordination technology that has been used to coordinate thousands of synchronised aircraft to create repeatable and scalable adversarial drone-swarm scenarios designed to help US military units and defence organisations.
The underlying technology was developed to coordinate large numbers of aircraft simultaneously and includes a library of more than 2,500 field-tested formations and flight assets.
Swarm Stage AI enables swarm scenarios to be visualised and reviewed before flight. New swarm configurations and flight scenario can be developed for specific training and testing requirements.
Rocket One says potential applications include evaluating radar and sensor systems, drone detection and tracking technologies, command-and-control systems, C-UAS technologies and operational responses to coordinated drone incursions.
The company intends to pursue opportunities to demonstrate Swarm Stage AI alongside existing and emerging C-UAS technologies.

The 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The guide is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
