Shield AI Destinus autonomous drone test
by Terrymiller: Tech
Shield AI and Destinus have achieved a successful test of autonomous drone collaboration powered by Hivemind software. In the trial, a V-BAT aircraft acted as a communication relay while a Hornet drone executed mission objectives. The technology aims to enhance coordination and reduce the operator's workload.

Autonomous drones are now showing teamwork on the battlefield. Shield AI and Destinus tested this concept by integrating Hivemind software with the Hornet drone in the VBAT aircraft. During the test, VBAT acted as a communication relay while Hornet performed mission tasks. The goal was to improve coordination, reduce operator workload, and operate in environments where GPS and communications are disrupted.
