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.

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.

History has been made by Stratolaunch, a hypersonic flight test research company headquartered in Mojave, California. The fully autonomous Talon-A2, equipped with landing gear, has successfully exceeded speeds of Mach five and completed its second autonomous landing at Vandenburg Space Force Base. This mission documentary follows the first recovered flight of TA-2, the result of five years of effort and dedication marking a pivotal moment in sustainable hypersonic flight test for our country. Congratulations to the Stratolaunch team and partners on this success! Next steps: fly TA-2 again and again, increasing the cadence of hypersonic flight tests for the United States. Stay tuned as Stratolaunch prepares to fly and land TA-2 once more.

🚨🇺🇸🇰🇷 U.S. V‑BAT Drone to Be Armed With South Korean Laser‑Guided Munition Shield AI has confirmed that its V‑BAT VTOL UAV will be integrated with South Korea’s L‑MDM laser‑guided munition, developed in cooperation with LIG Nex1. The integration allows medium class tactical drones to conduct precision strike missions, not just intelligence and surveillance. 🔹 V‑BAT can operate without a runway, launching from ships and remote or infrastructure‑limited areas. 🔹 L‑MDM uses semi‑active laser guidance and is designed to engage fixed and moving ground targets, including in GPS‑denied or contested environments. The move reflects expanding U.S. Republic of Korea cooperation in unmanned systems and highlights the evolving role of tactical UAVs in modern military operations.
