RESTON – October 27, 2026 -- Swarmer, a provider of autonomous drone software founded in 2023, has agreed to integrate SpiderOak's zero-trust security platform into its swarm control software, targeting uncrewed fleets that operate under electronic warfare conditions, including in Ukraine.

SpiderOak adds authentication and revocation to Swarmer's autonomy stack

Under the agreement, Swarmer will use the SpiderOak platform to provide secure interactions and revocation across its autonomous software. SpiderOak says any-to-any message exchanges within a formation will be authenticated, authorized and encrypted without additional networking controls or certificate management.

The platform combines security controls with guaranteed eventual delivery. Its low size, weight and power (SWaP) requirements and decentralized security model remove the need for additional infrastructure, according to the companies.

Dallas – October 21, 2026 -- Business Jet is building two hangars totaling nearly 70,000 square feet at Dallas Love Field (KDAL), lifting its footprint to 475,000 square feet across 19 hangars and 2 executive terminals. Completion of the 18th and 19th hangars is scheduled for January 2026.

New hangars are sized for the largest ultra-long-range jets

The side-by-side hangars have 28-foot doors to fit aircraft such as the Gulfstream G700 and Bombardier Global 7500. Business Jet designed each building for a different tenant profile. One is a build-to-suit space for a single tenant, with custom design and elevated lobby finishes. The other is configured for multiple tenants, with seven individual office and shop spaces.

Both buildings include epoxy-coated floors, LED lighting, large format fans, radiant tube heating and electric vehicle chargers. Integrated utility pedestals supply 208/480/115-amp power, water and compressed air.
