Every year, the best young engineers in the world compete at the FIRST Robotics Competition. This year, a team coached by one of our own came out on top. Jonathan Mi, an electrical design engineer at Shield AI, mentored Team 4414, HighTide, who took first place across 93,000 students, 3,700 teams, and 35 countries. They designed, programmed, and built their robot from scratch. Watch what it does. The strongest engineers build up everyone around them. That's who we hire. Congrats to HighTide, and when graduation comes, you know where to find us! Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

One small step for Hivemind, one giant leap for mission autonomy. Hivemind is going to space! Shield AI and Sedaro are partnering to send Hivemind to space, bringing the same resilient, edge-based autonomy that is redefining warfare to satellites delivering critical infrastructure and national defense capabilities. Our strategic partnership establishes Hivemind Pilot as Sedaro’s preferred autonomy software for on-orbit demonstrations, while also enabling the use of the Sedaro Platform for developing, testing, and demonstrating Hivemind in space-relevant scenarios. “Combining Hivemind Pilot with Sedaro’s high-fidelity models and simulation environment will unlock multi-agent cognitive teaming for space applications and new mission capabilities for our customers.” - Christian Gutierrez, Vice President of Hivemind Solutions. Hivemind is multi-domain mission autonomy. We've done autonomy for air, ground, and surface applications this year, and we couldn't be more excited to go to space. If your systems need autonomy, we'd love to work with you and help give your systems the best autonomy in the business. Read the full press release: Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

Hivemind completed its first autonomous multi-platform teaming flight with V-BAT and multiple Destinus Hornet systems. V-BAT served as a comms relay between the ground station and the Hornets, while Hivemind coordinated formation and managed in-flight mission updates in real time, no direct control of each platform required. The test shows how platforms with different communication architectures can operate as a single autonomous unit in contested environments. More coming soon! Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

From concept to the Japanese skies in under 60 days. Together with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, we integrated our Hivemind autonomy on their Affordable Rapid‑Prototyping Mitsubishi‑Drone initiative (ARMD) within a compressed timeline, demonstrating how autonomy software can be rapidly integrated, tested, and flown in support of next-generation air operations. “Our collaboration with MHI demonstrates Hivemind’s ability to transform how autonomous capabilities are designed, integrated, and deployed at scale, enabling operational platforms to support Japan’s evolving defense needs with unprecedented speed.” - Nate Michael, Shield AI’s Chief Technology Officer Read the full press release and watch the video here: Autonomy for the world.

Real Jets, Real Autonomy. In a groundbreaking series of tests this July, Shield AI, alongside partners Kratos and @parrylabs , demonstrated the future of air combat. High-performance, autonomously controlled MQM-178 Firejet drones flew alongside human-piloted jets in tightly confined airspace, collaboratively executing complex maneuvers with precision. 'When you have two unmanned jet aircraft flying alongside manned jets, trust in your AI wingman takes on a whole different meaning.” Read all about it The War Zone:

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐆𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 | 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 Real-world mission impact is always the ultimate measure of defense tech. Shield AI’s first aircraft, Nova—powered by our AI Pilot, Hivemind—was a fully autonomous quadcopter that has deployed in combat since 2018. It has operated alongside elite U.S. and allied special operations forces, clearing the most dangerous indoor environments and tunnel systems without risking human lives. Our next aircraft powered by Hivemind, V-BAT, has successfully been executing operations normally reserved for far more expensive and larger aircraft in the most contested environments on the planet—including those with surface-to-air missiles and GPS and comms jamming. Today, we are embarking on a journey to field an entirely new class of aircraft built with one purpose: to deter war by leading the next generation of airpower. Our mission: give the U.S. and its allies overwhelming technological advantage to prevent conflict before it starts. Full details on our next-gen aircraft coming Fall 2025. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war. #DefenseTechnology #AirDominance #AirPower #MissionImpact

“Holy sh*t. Look at this thing!” — Vice President JD Vance JD Vance This thing is V-BAT, our Group 3 unmanned aircraft delivering real mission impact worldwide. From interdicting record drug shipments with the U.S. Coast Guard to being one of the few technologies able to operate in Ukraine’s electronic warfare environment, V-BAT performs where others can’t. Now, Armenia has selected V-BAT for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations as part of its first foreign military sale. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.
