Shield AI is participating in a US Navy ISR program valued at up to $800 million using its V-BAT VTOL unmanned system. Designed for persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, the platform offers over 12 hours of endurance and operates in GPS-denied environments using advanced autonomy software. Its ducted-fan design allows deployment from confined spaces such as ship decks and remote locations. The system is already gaining international traction, with deployments across Europe, India, and allied forces. → This enhances persistent ISR capability with minimal infrastructure, especially in contested and denied environments.
