Shield AI

Passive sensing is critical to not being targeted.   Deployed on platforms in dozens of countries, ViDAR enables passive wide-area sensing, sweeping regions 10x faster than traditional gimbaled cameras. It detects vessels, fast boats, and even submersible periscopes—all without revealing its position like active radar. In a world where staying hidden is critical, ViDAR represents the future of passive ISR.   We’re putting ViDAR through its paces with ongoing testing and evaluation to make it even better. Exciting updates are coming soon!   Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war. #ViDAR #DefenseTechnology #MaritimeISR #Aviation #Aircraft

It was great to host US Army Secretary Christine Wormuth at our San Diego HQ last week! Shield AI President and co-founder Brandon Tseng led a discussion on accelerating AI acquisition, delivering capabilities to Soldiers in the field, and how the DoD can guide industry investments without drawn-out traditional programs and processes. These conversations offer insights into how senior leaders balance risk and speed, helping us better align our work with the Army’s mission needs. Autonomy for the world.

How do autonomous systems 'see' the world around them? In our latest blog, Willy Logan, Director of Hivemind Engineering, dives into the critical role of a robust perception stack in powering Shield AI’s Hivemind Pilot. From sensing and object detection to real-time mapping, learn how Hivemind delivers unmatched autonomy in denied, degraded, and low-bandwidth environments: https://lnkd.in/evrGus8f Autonomy for the world.

Privileged to host the keynote panel featuring Ali Khedery, Co-Founder & Former CEO - AIQ (ADNOC Group-G42 JV), Ryan, Co-Founder & CEO - Shield AI, and Rod Solaimani, Head of Policy & Partnerships, OpenAI, discussing AI's transformative role in shaping global power structures and investment strategies, at the big finale of Apex Invest Abu Dhabi. Special thanks to Cviko Dukanovic for making it happen. #AI #Geopolitics #Defense #ApexInvest

The Work Matters. The Mission Matters.   Last Thursday, Shield AI had the immense honor of receiving the Navy SEAL Foundation Patriot Award at the Evening of Tribute in Los Angeles. This recognition celebrates the tireless work of our team over the past decade to develop intelligent systems that protect service members operating in the most challenging environments.   In his remarks, Shield AI’s Co-Founder, President and former Navy SEAL, Brandon Tseng, reflected on the inspiration behind our mission: “I tell our new employees my conversations with Gold-Star families were the spark and inspiration behind why I started Shield AI, and that Shield AI exists to prevent the creation of more Gold Star families.” He went on to underscore the core of Shield AI’s commitment: “At the end of the day, these men and women in uniform want to do their job, they want to do it well, and they want to come back home safely to their families; so, we work relentlessly to make that happen.”   Thank you to the Navy SEAL Foundation—an unwavering force for good, supporting warriors and their families in their greatest times of need—for this incredible honor. To our customers, champions, and everyone at Shield AI: your work matters deeply, and this recognition is a testament to all of you.   Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war. 

The future is coming. Some of it is already here. It was great to represent Shield AI and talk airpower earlier this week at the inaugural Airpower Futures Forum hosted by The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. Videos coming soon. Thanks for moderating, Heather Penney! #airpower #CCA #autonomy

AI Pilot deployment, streamlined and scalable.   In our latest blog, Alex Burtness explains how Shield AI builds autonomy with our Hivemind Software Development Kit (SDK), providing the core framework for scalable, reliable AI. Hivemind SDK powers the rapid deployment of AI pilots across platforms with reference architectures, autonomy libraries, and simulation tools—cutting the time and resources needed for advanced autonomy solutions.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/eAfjgCys Autonomy for the world.

Happy Veterans Day! Today, we honor veterans who took on dangerous jobs, sacrificed time with loved ones, and protected those who couldn’t protect themselves. Many have joined Shield AI to continue that mission, helping protect service members and civilians with intelligent systems. Thank you for your service and commitment to a safer world. #VeteransDay

Bongiorno, V-BAT!   Italy's Guardia di Finanza’s custom black V-BAT was on display earlier this week at Rome’s Defense Village, where the Italian Ministry of Defense hosted an event that showcased innovative defense technology. In honor of Italian Armed Forces Day, Shield AI is proud to support the GDF in their mission with our V-BAT, an asset that adds essential ISR capabilities to any fleet.   https://lnkd.in/eHsiX2Rc   Autonomy for the world.
