"Long before AI became a household buzzword, Shield AI launched in San Diego." Today, we're still here (plus in Dallas, DC, and Abu Dhabi!), building the world's best AI pilot. Thanks to Vishal Persaud of Business Insider for highlighting how we're helping to reshape San Diego into the new 'Fightertown USA' with intelligent, affordable drones leading the way. https://lnkd.in/g9PaU3vM The greatest victory requires no war. #AI #Aviation #DefenseTechnology #GreatestVictory #SanDiegoJobs #FighterTownUSA #Hiring

Combined Task Force (CTF) V-BAT Summer '24 Edition It was fantastic to welcome dozens of international allies to Texas for the latest V-BAT demonstrations, and for Shield AI to show them why SOCOM, the U.S. Coast Guard, and many other allies have selected V-BAT to replace legacy Group 2-5 ISR platforms and to stand up new drone programs. Thank you to all who attended—your participation underscores the global commitment to reshaping the future of warfare with scalable human-machine teaming. At Shield AI, we envision a world where intelligent, affordable mass is not measured in thousands, but millions of drones. CTF V-BAT is turning this vision into reality.

Semper Paratus! The U.S. Coast Guard has awarded Shield AI a $198.1 Million contract for V-BAT ISR services. "We’re excited to support the U.S. Coast Guard with their ISR operations. V-BAT’s selection by the U.S. Coast Guard is indicative of a broader market movement where increasingly customers are recognizing they can accomplish the vast majority of their mission sets with affordable drones rather than exquisite, expensive crewed or uncrewed aircraft.” -Brandon Tseng Read more: https://lnkd.in/eHuRWXw7 The greatest victory requires no war. #VBAT #MaritimeSecurity #Aviation #CoastGuard #VTOL #GreatestVictory

Toll Aviation recently brought the Shield AI V-BAT to Australian shores and showcased its exciting capabilities at The ACE Training Centre and in demonstrations around the country. The V-BAT is a highly innovative uncrewed aerial system (UAS) which offers an advanced wide-area search capability enhanced by AI-enabled payloads. This makes it ideal for use in many important applications such as surveillance, border protection, counter-narcotics and fisheries protection operations.

The MQ-35 VBAT is aerospace engineering at its best and a great example of first principles engineering. Featuring a cutting-edge carbon fiber duct, the V-BAT not only achieves vertical takeoff and landing but also sets new standards in aerospace efficiency and design compared to competitor’s hybrid gas-electric quadcopter-push-prop architectures. V-BAT vs the rest: • With a weight of just 120 lbs, it matches the payload capacity of hybrid quads that weigh 240lbs or more. • It requires no heavy batteries, making logistics a breeze – everything fits in the back of a pickup truck! • Offers enhanced stability in challenging sea state conditions. • Needs less maintenance and has fewer points of failure. Want to join the team that's building what we aspire to be the greatest targeting and reconnaissance aircraft of all time?

Real Autonomy Happens on the Edge! Shield AI's Hivemind AI pilot recently teamed up with Parry Labs Edge Compute (EC) Micro to autonomously navigate a Kratos Defense and Security Solutions MQM-178 Firejet through complex maneuvers, all from the aircraft's onboard systems. This integration demonstrated real-time operation of complex AI algorithms, ensuring reliable functionality in dynamic conditions. https://lnkd.in/eQiK_enk Another step forward in autonomous aviation tech made alongside our partner Kratos – and we can't wait to share what’s next.
