About Shield AI
Developer of autonomous defense aircraft and drones built on the Hivemind AI pilot, which operates without GPS or comms. In March 2026 the company closed a $1.5B Series G (plus $500M of preferred equity from Blackstone) led by Advent International at a $12.7B valuation, double last year's $5.3B.
Shield AI builds Hivemind, a software pilot that flies an aircraft on its own when satellite navigation and communications drop out. Founded in 2015 in San Diego. The company sells it together with its own V-BAT drones and separately, as a license for machines from Northrop Grumman, General Atomics, Kratos, and Airbus. In May 2026 the US Department of Defense included Hivemind in the LUCAS low-cost strike drone program, and in July, together with GE Aerospace, the F110-GE-129E engine with a swiveling nozzle for X-BAT was fired for the first time. Current valuation is $12.7B from a $1.5B Series G (March 2026), against $5.3B a year earlier; roughly $3.3B raised.
