- An action-packed @cogeseurosatory 2026. This week, our team was in Paris meeting with defense and security leaders and showcasing how Hivemind, V-BAT, and X-BAT, the world’s first AI-piloted VTOL fighter jet, are expanding what’s possible for sovereign airpower. Europe’s
- From Washington to Detroit: defining the future of defense At @DefenseOne Tech Summit, @brandontseng2 joined a conversation on how fast-moving defense-tech companies are bridging the gap between the Pentagon’s policy makers and Silicon Valley investors. At Reindustrialize 3.0,
- Hivemind is going into production for the U.S. Air Force. Shield AI has been awarded a production contract to implement Hivemind mission autonomy for the USAF Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. By treating mission autonomy as a standalone capability, the @usairforceRead more:
- European aircraft are on a faster path to mission autonomy. Shield AI and @UAVNavigation are partnering to integrate Hivemind with UAV Navigation flight-control systems, helping European customers field more capable autonomous aircraft faster and with less integration risk.
- Shield AI reposted🇺🇸 Anduril a fait l’impasse sur #Eurosatory, mais l’autre pépite de la new defense américaine @shieldaitech est bien là avec une maquette de son X-Bat à l’échelle 45 % de la taille réelle.
- Shield AI repostedShield AI’s proposed X-Bat already stands out as an autonomous, jet-powered, vertical-takeoff-and-landing, long-range strike aircraft, but company President Ryan Tseng adds another distinction. aviationweek.com/defense/aircra… #Eurosatory2026 #XBAT #Defense @cogeseurosatory
- Next-generation autonomy, developed with Greece, for Greece. Shield AI and EFA GROUP have entered a strategic partnership to advance sovereign autonomous defense capabilities in Greece with our Hivemind AI pilot. As Hivemind expands across unmanned aircraft, maritime platforms,
- Autonomous strike and teaming, proven in flight. In the final phase of a three-part test campaign with @DestinusDefence, our Hivemind AI pilot integrated onto the Destinus Hornet and demonstrated autonomous collaborative strike capabilities in a full-mission flight exercise.
- We'll see you in Paris next week at Eurosatory! Stop by Booth A276, June 15-19, to see how Shield AI is delivering sovereign autonomy through our Hivemind AI pilot and building the future of unmanned airpower with V-BAT and X-BAT, the world’s first AI-piloted VTOL fighter jet.
- Shield AI repostedEvery SUV on the road looks same (especially when painted white), because they're all optimizing for the same constraints. Technology breakthroughs happen when you remove the constraints. One of these is not like the others.
- X-BAT's not just going where the wind takes it. The team is pushing X-BAT through thousands of wind tunnel test conditions, evaluating how it performs as the environment changes. The goal: a prototype engineered for stability, resilience, and mission success before it ever
- No matter who built the system, Hivemind can integrate quickly and execute the mission. This year, Hivemind successfully piloted and landed the H145 through a contested logistics mission with @Airbus U.S. Space and Defense, @L3HarrisTech, and Parry Labs for the @USMC Aerial
