SAN DIEGO, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shield AI, a defense technology company building the world's best AI pilot, today announced the successful completion of an autonomous teaming demonstration featuring three V-BAT Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). This accomplishment was the final milestone of an AFWERX autonomy effort under their Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) program and collaboration with the AFRL Sensors Directorate.

Key Points: 
  • Shield AI showcased its Hivemind AI pilot by launching a team of three V-BATs to monitor and surveil simulated wildfires.
  • This work with AFWERX sets Shield AI on a path to deploy V-BAT teaming capabilities in GPS- and- communications-denied environments in the next year.
  • However, Shield AI and AFWERX decided from the start that we would field this capability within the DoD.
  • Autonomy is a joint capability," said Ryan Tseng, CEO and Co-founder of Shield AI.
