DreamHammer is a San Diego-based software company that provides advanced drone management software for enterprise customers.[1][2]

History

Its first product, Ballista, is an OS for drones and allows one person to simultaneously control multiple drones of any type.[3] It features a plug and play architecture that can be integrated into any unmanned system.[4] Ballista has been licensed to government agencies, including the U.S. Navy's Program Executive Office (PEO) Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons.[5]

On July 3, 2013, DreamHammer announced it was partnering with Lockheed Martin to use the company's software for integrated command and control of Lockheed Martin's unmanned aerial vehicles.[6] Lockheed and the Pentagon have worked with DreamHammer to create the software which works with boats, planes or trucks.[7] DreamHammer has spent $6.5 million to develop the software.[8]
