V-BAT put in the flight time at REPMUS 2026, where allied navies test how uncrewed systems work together at sea.
Over two weeks, V-BAT flew maritime surveillance missions sponsored by the Swedish Defence Material Administration and the Swedish Navy. It carried IMSAR’s NSP-3 radar, built to track vessels through cloud, fog, and darkness, and accepted tasking through STANAG 4817, the @NATO standard that lets allied navies command uncrewed systems from different manufacturers.
Another fantastic opportunity to put V-BAT to work alongside international partners!

Software delayed defense programs. On CCA, it is setting the pace.
Tim Fuhrman, Senior Director of Hivemind Program Management and 25-year @usairforce acquisitions and aircraft maintenance veteran, shares five changes to keep up with the new pace of fielding mission autonomy.

Dark drones, meet Tracker C-UAS.
Small, low-cost one-way attack systems fly low, blend into the environment, and emit little or no RF signature.
Tracker C-UAS uses AI-powered computer vision and EO/IR sensors to help teams detect, identify, and sustain a track on those threats through changing conditions. The track is the advantage.
When integrated with systems like @L3HarrisTech's VAMPIRE, Tracker C-UAS connects detection to engagement.

They build it. We fly it.
Meet the team that took Hivemind mission autonomy from lab to flight on the YFQ-44A.

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.

Shield AI says it is nearly done constructing the first full-scale protype of X-BAT, its proposed autonomous combat aircraft system.
📹 @shieldaitech displayed a model of X-BAT at 45% scale, at AFA’s Air, Space, and Cyber Conference, where Defense Editor Steve Trimble spoke to Harris on the X-BAT’s specs, and potential.

X-BAT doesn't pick a lane.
It has multirole capability: air-to-air, air-to-ground, and electronic warfare, powered by @GE_Aerospace's F110 engine. No runway required.
@RocketArmor gave @AviationWeek's Steve Trimble a development update at @AFA_Air_Space's Air, Space & Cyber.

Powered by Hivemind: Building AI factories with @nvidia's AI stack
In a recent demonstration, Hivemind brought NVIDIA’s Cosmos 2 reasoning model together with Aechelon’s simulation capabilities to execute a four-agent wide-area search mission.
Operators orchestrated team intent instead of flying individual aircraft, moving operational experience faster toward trusted autonomous capability.
The AI Factory continuously tests and validates new capabilities, turning what is learned in the field into better performance for the next mission. It’s a continuous loop: fly, learn, improve, test, validate, fly again.

Making Hivemind easier to access across the U.S. government.
Great to host @Carahsoft President and Founder @craigabod at our D.C. office to kick off a new partnership focused on getting Hivemind into the hands of more defense and national security teams.
Hivemind helps customers build, test, and deploy mission autonomy faster. Carahsoft brings deep reach across the government market, creating more opportunities for customers to evaluate Hivemind against their mission needs and move from interest to adoption.

Human judgment. Autonomous execution. Shared mission.
At the @wkforum in Seoul, @brandontseng2 and Frank Morley (VP of International, @northropgrumman) talked with Stephen Lee about how human-machine teams sustain the mission when GPS, communications, and control links fail.
For Korea and its allies, sovereign mission autonomy is essential to deterrence.

Never forget 9/11/01.
I encourage you to reflect on this day, to look at some of the awful images that happened that day to not forget how there is real, visceral evil in the world; and to look at some of the inspiring images of that day and the days and weeks after to know there is the most selfless courage in the world that will always respond.

MSPO 2026 made it clear that X-BAT fills a critical capability gap for Poland and European allies: a multirole aircraft that carries large strike weapons to strategic distances while staying survivable in the air and on the ground.
@rtsengusa and team met with Poland's senior defense leaders, including Deputy Minister of National Defence @CTomczyk, First Deputy Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Dymanowski, Head of Navy Armament Adm. Kulagin, and Deputy Head J3 Gen. Misiak. We discussed our plans to deliver X-BAT to Poland with in-country production and sustainment with @PGZ_pl and @WZL2_SA, support Poland's V-BAT program, and build sovereign autonomy capability with Hivemind.
More to come from Shield AI + Poland.
