The defining capability of intelligent machines
Precisely Execute Every Mission
Mission autonomy is the critical layer that enables unmanned systems to perceive, decide, and act to complete complex missions independently, at the edge, without relying on GNSS, comms, or human input, standalone or as a team.
-
Autonomy Management
Coordinate many assets at the operational level to optimize resource allocation and mission outcomes.
Command center or Battle Management System node
-
Mission Autonomy
Directs how individual platforms and their payloads execute tasks in line with assigned objective.
Onboard (at the edge)
-
Platform Autonomy
Handles safety-critical platform control, vehicle health, and terrain/obstacle avoidance.
Onboard
Mission autonomy powered by Hivemind
Without resilient autonomy, your mission is just a plan. In contested and degraded environments, platforms lose comms, manual control falters, and overwhelmed operators can't keep up. That’s when autonomy is mission critical:
- Machine-speed decisions at the tactical edge
- Control of many agents by a single operator
- Resilient execution even in denied, degraded, or disconnected conditions—no GNSS, no comms, no human input required

Owning your autonomy is your advantage
The future will be led by nations that can build their own intelligent machines. Not through dependency—but through capability. Shield AI’s mission autonomy products are designed to:
-
Develop sovereign mission autonomy
You build it, you own it. Retain full rights to the intellectual property built for your platform and mission autonomy needs.
-
Rapid deployment and cost savings
Day one mission autonomy enabled by deployable reference implementation pilots and robust edge autonomy.
-
Modular, integrated systems
We build mission autonomy that complements platform autonomy providers and interoperates with mission management systems.
