Shield AI

🖼️ Tool Name:
Shield AI

🔖 Tool Category:
DevOps, CI/CD & Monitoring — it falls under the category of autonomous systems software and intelligence platforms designed to monitor, control, and deploy autonomous agents (especially in defense / robotics).

✏️ What does this tool offer?
Shield AI is a defense-technology company specializing in AI autonomy for aircraft and drones. It develops systems that enable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to operate autonomously, including navigation, mission planning, object detection, and pilot-less operation in contested or GPS-denied environments.

⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?
• The Hivemind autonomy software stack that allows aircraft to perform missions with minimal human input.
• Tracker module for AI-powered object detection in land and maritime environments from video feeds. 
• Commander interface to coordinate and command autonomous agents, manage mission plans, and interface human intent with execution. 
• Forge suite and cloud tools for designing, testing, training, and analyzing autonomous systems. 
• Integration and acquisition of analytics tools (e.g. Crowdbotics’ DDR) to assess flight data and autonomy performance. 

🤖 Does it include automation?
Yes — Shield AI is fundamentally built around automation:
• Autonomous mission execution by drones and aircraft with minimal operator intervention.
• Automated object detection, scene analysis, and threat detection from video streams via AI models. 
• Automated mission planning updates and human-machine coordination in real time. 
• Automated performance analytics and debriefing using integrated software (e.g. DDR) to evaluate pilot / autonomy behavior. 

💰 Pricing Model:
Not publicly detailed — likely via defense contracts, licensing, and enterprise / governmental procurement.

🆓 Free Plan Details:
Not applicable (government / defense oriented).

💳 Paid Plan Details:
Custom contracts with defense agencies and governments. Products like V-BAT drones, autonomy stack licensing, command tools, and performance analytics are bundled in enterprise defense agreements.

🧭 Access Method:
• Via contracts with Shield AI for deployment on drones, aircraft, or defense systems.
• On-premises or edge deployments of the autonomy software.
• Integration into command & control (C2) systems through interfaces like Commander.
