Three years on a single problem.
SwarmGuard came out of a doctoral thesis at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. The starting topic shifted along the way — the real question, the one that still comes back, became: how do you keep a drone swarm coherent when a node falls, lies, or gets attacked?
The classical answer — replicating the same sensor three times — doesn't hold against today's adversaries. The architecture had to be rebuilt from scratch.
What came out: a patented architecture that combines adaptive topology, distributed consensus, and dynamic trust. Hardware-validated. Protected by a USPTO provisional patent. Put into the field by SwarmGuard Technologies Inc., incorporated in Quebec in April 2026.
