Two types of pilots, one simulation environment. @SLFeeding Director of Market Innovation and Ecosystems, shares how simulation platforms like Aechelon create repeatable environments for humans and AI to improve, validate, and coordinate as a team.

We are proud to announce that Mr. Sébastien Lozé will be joining us as a Speaker at the NATO #CA2X2 Forum - Rome 29 Sept - 01 Oct. We look forward to welcoming him and to an inspiring contribution to this year’s event: t.ly/nfy8g @NATO_ACT @SM_Difesa @SLFeeding

Shield AI to acquire Aechelon and raise $2B at $12.7B valuation. We’re accelerating the shift in how defense systems get built: increasingly shaped in software, trained in simulation, and improved through use. Aechelon, a Sagewind portfolio company, is one of the most trusted simulation companies in defense. Their technology is used to model real-world environments and test systems before they fly. Bringing that capability together alongside Hivemind connects how autonomy is trained with how it performs in the field, helping customers move faster and field capability with greater confidence.Shield AI to acquire Aechelon Technology Inc. and raise $2B at $12.7B valuation.
