About

We are Shield AI, a US based defense technology company founded in 2015 to protect service members and civilians with intelligent systems. We design and deploy autonomous mission systems for aircraft and unmanned platforms, built around our Hivemind autonomy backbone and a family of mission ready software and hardware modules. Our products include X-BAT and V-BAT aircraft, Hivemind Enterprise, ViDAR and other capabilities built to operate in GPS and comms denied environments. We develop EdgeOS, Pilot, Forge and Commander to enable rapid development, testing and deployment of resilient autonomy across domains. Our approach is aircraft agnostic, battle tested, and focused on human directable autonomy that can scale across platforms and theaters of operation.

Our team emphasizes servant leadership and a mission first mindset. Since founding we have grown to over a thousand teammates with offices across the United States and internationally, and we continue to invest in building safe reliable autonomy for the modern battlefield. We collaborate with allies to advance AI pilots powering a safer world, aiming to reduce risk to service members while enhancing decision making and effectiveness in complex environments. Autonomy for the world remains our guiding vision and the greatest victory, we believe, requires no war.
