Hivemind

Shield AI
Overview
The autonomy stack that is the actual company. Hivemind flies aircraft with no GPS, no waypoints, and no remote pilot, has been piloted across 26 vehicle classes including F-16s, helicopters, drone boats, and ground vehicles, and descends from the Heron Systems agent that beat a human F-16 pilot 5-0 in DARPA's AlphaDogfight trials. Hivemind Enterprise packages it as a developer platform for other manufacturers, and the Hivemind Foundation Model for Defense is trained in simulation, which is what the March 2026 Aechelon acquisition bought.
Fielded across US military programs and on Air Force contract for CCA mission autonomy since June 2026.
