Shield AI and Airbus complete autonomous DT25 flight test
Shield AI integrated Hivemind with Airbus's DT25 target drone for a counter-UAS flight demonstration in Norway.
Evidence notes
- The teams completed the Hivemind integration in three months before flying at Andoya, Norway.
- The DT25 autonomously tracked a live adversary aircraft in both permissive and degraded operating environments.
- The flight exercised a counter-UAS mission profile and forms part of wider Shield AI-Airbus work across U.S. and European platforms.
