Shield AI and RTX have announced a new partnership to integrate Shield AI’s advanced Hivemind artificial intelligence software into select RTX defense platforms.
According to the companies, the collaboration will deploy the first fielded weapon powered by Networked Collaborative Autonomy — a technology that enables “real-time coordination, resilience and combat-proven firepower.”
“RTX’s defense systems paired with Hivemind, which delivers mission autonomy for intelligent, collaborative operations, create powerful new capabilities for the warfighter,” said Shield AI CEO Gary Steele. “This collaboration reflects how the defense ecosystem is evolving — bringing the best of autonomy and hardware to bear on national security challenges.”
Shield AI’s Visual Detection and Ranging Software will also be integrated with RTX’s Multi-Spectral Targeting System to enhance AI-driven defenses against airborne and maritime swarm threats.
The companies stated the project has been fully funded by both firms without government backing. Shield AI, which has existing deals with General Atomics and Lockheed Martin, views this as another milestone for its AI capabilities.
