MBF Group One operator. Many UAVs. One mission.
IRYDA+ X1 is an autonomous UAV swarm technology developed to enable more effective reconnaissance, multi-platform coordination, and mission management from a single Ground Control System.
IRYDA+ X1 – an autonomous UAV system with a swarm architecture
IRYDA+ X1 is an advanced unmanned system developed in collaboration with MBF Group S.A. and Shark Aviation Dynamics. The project combines a fixed-wing UAV platform, autonomous mission management, swarm intelligence, and the ability for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles to operate as part of a single coordinated mission.
The system is being developed for use in the areas of security, critical infrastructure protection, situational awareness, strategic monitoring, and modern multi-platform operations. IRYDA+ X1 is being developed as a scalable UAV technology that can be used both as a standalone platform and as part of a larger autonomous system.

One Operator. Multiple UAVs. One Mission.
The most important feature of the IRYDA+ X1 project is its evolution toward swarm architecture. This means that multiple UAV platforms can be coordinated as part of a single mission, while maintaining central operator oversight and real-time data exchange.
This approach distinguishes the system from traditional unmanned solutions, in which a single operator controls a single drone. IRYDA+ X1 is designed as a solution that allows for the management of multiple UAVs from a single Ground Control System station, thereby increasing operational efficiency and situational awareness.
Swarm Intelligence – swarm intelligence
Swarm Intelligence architecture enables multiple unmanned aerial vehicles to operate together as a single system. Platforms can exchange data, coordinate their actions, relay information to the operator, and support the achievement of the mission’s common objective.
- real-time coordination of multiple UAVs,
- data exchange between platforms,
- swarm management from a single GCS,
- adaptive mission execution,
- support for GPS-denied environments,
- secure communication and data connection,
- scalable system architecture,
- increased operational resilience.
Ground Control System
The Ground Control System serves as the mission control center. The operator gains access to telemetry data, platform status, situational awareness, and tools for coordinating multiple UAVs simultaneously.
The goal of this architecture is to simplify operations, increase operational effectiveness, and provide more comprehensive real-time control over the mission.
Smart Mission Cycle
IRYDA+ X1 supports a structured operational cycle that includes detection, tracking, coordination, task execution, and mission completion. As a result, the system can be presented not only as a flying platform, but as a complete solution for managing autonomous UAV operations.
Applications of the IRYDA+ X1 System
The system can be used in any situation where mobility, rapid reconnaissance, aerial surveillance, coordination of multiple platforms, and real-time data transmission are required.
- border protection,
- critical infrastructure protection,
- monitoring of strategic facilities,
- ISR reconnaissance and surveillance,
- industrial monitoring,
- crisis management,
- training and operational simulations,
- demonstrations of autonomous technologies.
Technology developed with implementation in mind
IRYDA+ X1 is part of the global trend toward the development of autonomous unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, automated decision-making, and multi-platform systems. The project aims to further develop swarm coordination, expand communication range, and integrate additional sensors and specialized payloads.
The next significant stage in the system’s development is a demonstration of multiple UAVs operating in a coordinated swarm architecture, managed from a single control station. This will be an important step toward confirming the system’s practical capabilities and its further commercialization.
Autonomous UAV Systems and Swarm Technologies
Today, autonomous UAV systems are among the fastest-growing technologies in the fields of security, surveillance, reconnaissance, and critical infrastructure protection. Solutions that go beyond the operation of a single unmanned aerial vehicle and enable the coordination of multiple platforms within a single mission are becoming increasingly important.
UAV swarm technology makes it possible to increase surveillance effectiveness, reduce response times, expand the operational area, and improve the resilience of the entire system. In this model, individual platforms can exchange data, synchronize flight paths, support situational analysis, and provide the operator with a broader operational picture.
IRYDA+ X1 is part of this trend as an autonomous UAV system designed to enable the coordinated operation of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles, mission management from a single control station, and further integration with modern sensors, software, and analytical solutions.
