Shield AI just unveiled the X-BAT, an autonomous fighter jet built to fly without a pilot.
Its Hivemind AI can operate even when GPS and communications are jammed.
And at around $27 million, it costs far less than an F-35.

As a jobseeker in defense, I’m losing it with all the Sr lvl suits not just lapping this shit up, but putting in the work to justify it. It’s like the Rick & Morty copypasta, but instead of a Redditor dweeb it’s the ShieldAI CEO shilling for the admin… “You have to have a very high IQ to understand”

That’s the most successful so far. Less notable so far would be ShieldAI, number of others in their “American Dynamism” portfolio that all might benefit from close government ties.

Reporting query!
I'm looking for a list of top defense tech companies (Anduril, ShieldAI, Palantir etc).
Something along the lines of: top new firms by contract obligations or ones most rapidly increasing their defense contracts. A list that captures top new entrants to the US arms industry.

La solution #Hivemind (qui gère la conduite de mission, dont la partie 'pilotage') de #ShieldAI semble une chose bien aboutie et mature, et gagne des parts de marchés.
Typiquement, côté acteurs historiques français, ce serait à @thalesgroup.bsky.social de concevoir un tel système.

Il semble donc bien que cela soit Shield AI qui a désigné avant Andurill un directeur commercial en France.
Pourtant Andurill était parti en tête dans le démarchage de son représentant et du cabinet pour les représenter...
