Requires Expertise

You can use Shield AI to fly military aircraft and drones autonomously in environments without GPS or communication links. It provides self-driving software called Hivemind that executes tactical flight maneuvers and manages swarms of uncrewed systems. The company also builds vertical takeoff aircraft designed for surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting in remote areas. Defense operators and flight crews use its systems to coordinate multi-aircraft missions, run realistic flight simulations, and operate robotic aircraft safely alongside human pilots during contested military operations in the field.
