Shield AI

Overview

Shield AI is a defense technology company founded in 2015, focused on developing AI and autonomy systems to enhance safety for service members and civilians. Headquartered in San Diego, the company has expanded globally with offices in cities like Dallas, Washington D.C., and Abu Dhabi. With a workforce of over 1,000 employees, it has raised significant funding, achieving a valuation of $5.3 billion.

The company’s mission is to provide AI pilots through its Hivemind software, which powers autonomous systems in challenging environments. Key products include the Nova quadcopter for indoor operations, the V-BAT VTOL drone for intelligence and reconnaissance, and the ViDAR maritime search system. These technologies have been deployed in real-world combat situations, supporting missions for the U.S. military and its allies. Shield AI continues to innovate in the field of military autonomy, aiming to improve mission effectiveness and reduce risks to personnel.
