Los Angeles, CA (March 18 2026) – Gambit is announcing an integration and partnership with ModalAI®, a leading provider of AI-powered autopilot and perception technologies for drones and robots. Gambit’s adaptive intelligence layer is now integrated with ModalAI’s VOXL 2, a compact Blue UAS Framework autopilot and onboard AI computing platform built on the Qualcomm® QRB5165. This allows Gambit’s software to be deployed on any uncrewed system built on the VOXL SDK ecosystem, enabling coordinated autonomous operations across ModalAI platforms and beyond, including its recently announced Seeker Vision FPV platform, selected for Drone Dominance Phase 1, as well as third-party vehicles developed by manufacturers that leverage VOXL 2 hardware.

The integration and partnership enables operators to deploy vehicles powered by ModalAI technology with  a library of collaborative autonomous behaviors from Gambit’s adaptive intelligence platform. Together, the companies aim to accelerate the development and fielding of intelligent autonomous systems capable of collaborating across sensing, decision-making, and mission execution.

By pairing ModalAI’s compact onboard computing and perception stack with Gambit’s adaptive intelligence, the integration supports rapid deployment of autonomous systems that can operate as part of a larger, orchestrated team.

‍

“The next leap in autonomy is teamwork,” said Josh Giegel, CEO of Gambit. “By integrating with ModalAI, we’re giving developers a faster path to field autonomous systems that don’t just operate alone, but collaborate as a force.”

‍

The collaboration reflects growing demand across defense and commercial markets for autonomous systems that can operate at scale. As uncrewed platforms proliferate, the ability for systems to coordinate and collaborate effectively is becoming increasingly important for mission success.

‍

“At ModalAI, our goal is to give developers the computing and perception foundation needed to build the next generation of intelligent autonomous systems,” said Chad Sweet, CEO of ModalAI. “By integrating Gambit’s adaptive intelligence platform with VOXL 2, developers can move beyond individual vehicles and begin deploying coordinated teams of autonomous systems that collaborate in real time. This partnership makes it easier for our ecosystem to scale from single robots to truly networked autonomous operations.”

‍

Developers building on ModalAI’s VOXL platform will be able to access Gambit’s platform to enable coordinated autonomous behavior across fleets of aerial or ground systems. The combined capability supports multiple communications options – including Doodle Labs MeshRider radios supported natively by VOXL 2, along with other modems such as DTC and Silvus and additional connectivity paths like cellular and fiber – enabling flexible deployment across applications ranging from defense and security to inspection, logistics, and infrastructure monitoring.

About Gambit

Gambit Defense is an AI-first software company delivering multi-domain, collaborative, behavior-based intelligence for autonomous systems. Its platform is domain- and platform-agnostic, enabling heterogeneous robotic teams to operate as coordinated units in complex and contested environments. Gambit allows operators to task robotic systems as they would human teammates by defining the mission space and assigning behaviors, while its unifying intelligence layer translates operator intent into distributed, real-time execution across fleets. The intelligence lives at the edge, enabling adaptive, resilient mission execution without increasing operator burden.

Draft social post for Gambit: 

Today we announced an integration and partnership with @ModalAI that brings Gambit’s adaptive intelligence layer to systems built on VOXL 2, ModalAI’s compact Blue UAS Framework autopilot and onboard AI computing platform.

With this integration, Gambit’s software can now be deployed on any uncrewed system built on the VOXL 2 ecosystem. That includes ModalAI platforms such as the newly released Seeker, as well as third-party vehicles developed by manufacturers that leverage VOXL 2 hardware.

Gambit’s adaptive intelligence platform provides a library of collaborative autonomous behaviors that allow uncrewed systems to coordinate sensing, decision-making, and mission execution across distributed platforms.

As autonomous systems proliferate, the real challenge is not just building capable vehicles. It is enabling them to operate together effectively at scale.
