Shield AI

Deterrence in focus in Taiwan. Brandon Tseng traveled to Taiwan last month to meet with government, industry, and media leaders. In a conversation with Business Next, he discussed how autonomous systems are reshaping defense and why scaling them is becoming central to modern deterrence. The focus is on enabling Taiwan to build and field its own AI-enabled defense capabilities, strengthening resilience and supporting a broader strategy to deter conflict.

Autonomy for contested logistics. We completed our fourth autonomous flight test on the H145 as part of the United States Marine Corps’ Aerial Logistics Connector program, in partnership with Airbus U.S. Space & Defense (Florida), L3Harris Technologies, and Parry Labs. For the first time, all four teams’ technologies operated together on a single aircraft. During the test, Hivemind detected obstacles in the landing zone and autonomously rerouted to an alternate site in flight. See it at Army Aviation Association of America's Summit. Visit Booth 2911, and the Lakota helicopter on display at Airbus’ Booth 572. Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/exrEKa5m Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

XBAT is in a different class.

We’re just getting warmed up. More GE Aerospace engines are now in testing, with our teams performing break-in runs to establish baseline performance. Next step: integrating the axisymmetric vectoring exhaust nozzle to enable vertical flight. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

On the ground at London Defence Conference. Ryan Tseng 🇺🇸 joined a panel on reindustrialization and innovation alongside ADS Group Ltd, Exiger, Tiberius Aerospace, BAE Systems, and MBDA. Across the event, conversations centered on readiness and what it takes to deliver capability at speed. That means producing systems at scale with software that performs in the field with the assurance of reliable behavior under real-world conditions. As seen in Ukraine, autonomy is already shaping that shift, and for many countries, scaling it is becoming core to national security. Hivemind is built for that model, enabling systems to be developed, tested, and deployed with the speed and reliability modern defense demands. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

If you’re attending the Army Aviation Association of America Summit this week, make sure to stop by the Shield AI booth #2911. We’d love to connect, chat, and show you what we’ve been working on!     Looking forward to seeing you all in person.

We’ll see you next week at Navy League of the United States Sea-Air-Space Expo! Visit Booth 336 to see how Hivemind enables autonomy across maritime platforms, how V-BAT is delivering intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance at sea with the United States Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard, and get up close with X-BAT, the world’s first AI-piloted VTOL fighter jet. We’re focused on delivering autonomy-enabled maritime capability that can be fielded now—helping distributed forces see, decide, and act faster. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

CTO of the USA meets CTO of Shield AI. Ethan Klein, CTO at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, visited our San Diego office yesterday to connect with our technology leaders, including Nathan Michael, CTO, and Thomas Schaefer, Vice President of Hivemind. As autonomy reshapes the future of warfare, close collaboration between industry and government is critical to developing systems that protect the lives of service members and civilians. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

Building on Black Sea security. As the final stop on a recent Eastern Europe tour, Brandon Tseng, Chris Brinkley (Head of Europe Business Development), and James L. (Head of Eastern Europe) met with senior Bulgarian leadership, including the Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Chief of Defense, Chief of Land Forces, and Chief of Military Intelligence. Bulgaria is a NATO ally bridging the Balkans and the Black Sea and sits at the center of a region where security dynamics continue to shift. V-BAT is already operating across the Black Sea region, including missions supporting border security and surveillance with Frontex. Discussions focused on how systems proven in real-world operations can support Bulgaria’s national and maritime security priorities.   Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.
