Shield AI, Inc., the technology company building an AI pilot, completed a major milestone on the path towards its overarching goal of providing autonomy for the world by successfully demonstrating its first-ever multi-jet autonomy flights on two Kratos MQM-178 Firejets.
The flight tests featured two autonomous agents piloted by Shield AI's 'Hivemind' AI Pilot. These agents teamed up to perform coordinated maneuvers, demonstrating operationally relevant collaborative behaviors. This demonstration highlighted the capabilities of future unmanned jets and drones, with all computing executed on board and in-air agent communication seamlessly integrated.
This builds upon multiple AI-piloted Firejet flight tests completed earlier this year, which marked the sixth aircraft to be flown by Shield AI's Hivemind AI Pilot. In June, the team completed its inaugural Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) integration, which bridges live platforms with virtual environments and enables dynamic interactions across different domains.
