Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, 20. January 2026
New platform enables coordinated, autonomous drone operations designed for modern defense environments
SIRBAI
today announced the official launch of the Middle East’s first
AI-powered autonomous drone swarm technology at UMEX 2026 - a global
exhibition platform for unmanned systems and autonomous capabilities -
marking the company’s entry into the defense technology sector. Designed
for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), the platform enables multiple drones
to operate collaboratively with a high degree of autonomy, even in
complex and contested environments. As the first company in the region
to offer this advanced capability, SIRBAI is set to redefine the modern
battlefield with innovative and scalable autonomous technology,
establishing new standards for resilient and operator-friendly mission
systems for modern defense operations.
SIRBAI enters the market
as a leader in defense autonomy and intelligent swarm technologies.
Developed by over 40 engineers in AI, autonomy, and robotics, SIRBAI
builds on advanced research developed in Abu Dhabi, including
capabilities originating from the Technology Innovation Institute (TII).
SIRBAI’s mission is to help nations develop secure and resilient
defense systems through practical, AI-enabled autonomous swarm
technology. Its software-first model and fully in-house technology stack
enable rapid capability development, high security assurance, and
operational flexibility across deployment environments.
Dr. Najwa
Aaraj, Chief Executive Officer at TII, said: “The launch of SIRBAI’s
next-generation swarm technology marks an important milestone for the
region’s defense technology ecosystem. By combining advanced AI with
autonomous drone operations, SIRBAI is setting a new benchmark for
resilient, operator-centric mission systems. TII is proud to support
this achievement, which reflects our shared commitment to delivering
advanced technologies that strengthen national security and enhance
defense capabilities globally.”
The launch introduces a scalable,
operator-friendly approach to autonomous swarm operations, supporting
defense missions ranging from surveillance and protection to advanced
manned-unmanned teaming. By integrating AI-driven mission planning,
distributed decision-making, and real-time coordination, SIRBAI’s
platform reduces operator workload while improving mission effectiveness
and resilience. The modular, end-to-end system consolidates mission
planning, command, and swarm execution into a single platform,
accelerating decision cycles and enabling efficient control of drone
fleets with lower cognitive burden.
Dr. Dario Albani, Chief
Technology Officer at SIRBAI, said: “SIRBAI bridges the gap between
human intent and autonomous mission execution, enabling seamless
coordination across manned and unmanned systems. Our platform ensures
resilient autonomy, continuous information flow, and agile response in
rapidly changing and demanding environments. By keeping operators and
autonomous assets connected and working together, SIRBAI delivers the
reliability and operational advantage needed for modern missions.”
Designed
for operational impact and future-ready scalability, SIRBAI’s
technology integrates seamlessly across a wide range of platforms, from
compact tactical drones to advanced unmanned combat aerial vehicles
(UCAVs). Built for contested and GPS-denied environments, the system
uses resilient navigation to sustain coordinated swarm operations under
jamming or degraded connectivity, while maintaining operator oversight
when required.
