AI tools for autonomous vehicle technology

Shield AI is a defense technology company building the world's best AI pilot, Hivemind, to enable swarms of drones and aircraft to operate autonomously without GPS, communications, or a pilot. Their mission is to protect service members and civilians with intelligent systems. Hivemind is a top gun for every aircraft, more than just preset behaviors and waypoints. Like a human pilot, Hivemind reads and reacts to the battlefield and does not require GPS, waypoints, or prior knowledge to make decisions. It is the first and only fully autonomous AI pilot deployed in combat since 2018. From indoor building clearance with quadcopters to integrated air defense breach with fixed-wing drones and F-16 dogfights, Hivemind learns and autonomously executes missions. Shield AI also offers V-BAT teams, which enable multiple V-BATs to autonomously execute missions in electronically contested environments while reading and reacting to adversaries, the environment, and the other V-BATs executing the mission. V-BAT is combat-tested and deployed since 2018, and it flies in a class of its own. It's the most tactical, most logistically simple VTOL aircraft in the world, capable of executing group 2 to group 5 mission sets. It is the UAS of choice for US and allied forces. Nova 2 is built for the future fight and has proven its value in close-quarters combat with the most demanding customers in the world – on the most high-profile missions. Hivemind gives Nova 2 full autonomy - no GPS, no comms, no pilot needed.
