Shield AI
Autonomy software and VTOL ISR aircraft for GPS-denied environments.
Shield AI's core product is autonomy software that flies aircraft without GPS or a communications link, deployed both on its own VTOL ISR platform and on third-party aircraft. It represents the shift from remotely piloted drones to genuinely autonomous ones.
- Autonomy that survives jamming and GPS denial is what customers now ask for after observing contested-environment operations.
- Because the autonomy stack ports to other airframes, a customer can modernize an existing fleet rather than replace it.
- GPS-denied and comms-denied autonomous flight
- VTOL ISR aircraft for expeditionary launch
- Autonomy stack portable to third-party airframes
- Multi-aircraft teaming and coordinated behaviors
