The First & Only Autonomous AI Pilot Deployed Since 2018

Similar to a human pilot, Hivemind reads and reacts to the battlefield, and does not require GPS, waypoints, or comms to make decisions. Hivemind enables intelligent teams to perform missions ranging from room clearance with Novas, penetrating air defense systems with V-BATs, to dogfighting F-16s.

Intelligent Teaming

Shield AI’s synthetic environments combined with human-machine tactics and behaviors. Testing and learning in real physics simulations reduces engineering cycle times and enables rapid real-world deployment. Welcome to the defense metaverse.

Edge Autonomy

The aircraft uses sensors to create a map or world-view, the computer then tells the aircraft or autopilot where to go and what to do to execute its mission. No GPS, no waypoints, and no comms are needed for aircraft to accomplish their missions.

THE FUTURE OF FIGHTER JETS

With a 99% win-rate in simulated F-16 dogfights versus active-duty Air Force and Navy fighter pilots, Hivemind is learning to execute a variety of missions from Beyond Visual Range strike to suppression of enemy air defense. The future of air dominance will be powered and flown by Hivemind.

It Starts With The F-16

Hivemind will deploy as a digital co-pilot on a U.S. Air Force F-16, with the goal of rapidly scaling across next-generation aircraft, F-22s, F-18s, and other fighter jets. Hivemind will make legacy fighters relevant for decades to come and will power the next generation of military aircraft.

Securing borders, hunting drugs, finding threats. Shield AI’s V-BAT is the future of next-generation UAS. The most tactical, most logistically simple UAS in the world. There’s nothing else like it.

V-BAT Crushes The Competition

01 Results
In head-to-head customer fly-offs, V-BAT wins. The U.S. and allied militaries are choosing V-BAT because it delivers, period.

02 Performance
Ducted-fan technology enables industry leading max-takeoff weight to payload weight ratio. We didn’t just break the record, we redefined what’s possible.

03 Safety
No exposed rotors, no required operator safety zones. So safe you can get hands on during takeoff and landing.

Maritime UAS of Choice

V-BAT beat out 13 competitors to win the Navy and SOCOM MTUAS Increment 2 Program of Record. Its unique design and controls allow it to take off & land in high winds, on crowded flight decks, aboard moving vessels with landing zones as small as 12’ x 12’.

V-BAT Teams is powered by Hivemind, the world’s best AI pilot and the most strategic defense tech of our generation. AI pilots enable aircraft to maneuver without GPS or communications and enable the concept of intelligent teaming – the ability to autonomously read and react to each other, adversaries, and the environment to accomplish the mission.
