en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. defense technology company Shield AI and Spain's UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía have signed a strategic integration cooperation agreement aimed at integrating the former's autonomous software, Hivemind, into the latter's flight control system to enhance the efficiency and reduce risks for European customers deploying autonomous aircraft.

The cooperation focuses on verifying the compatibility of Shield AI's platform-agnostic autonomous software, Hivemind, with UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía's VECTOR autopilot and mission control computer. The two parties have completed interoperability tests with positive results, confirming that Hivemind can execute missions on platforms equipped with this flight control system. Subsequent phases plan to expand autonomous capabilities to a broader range of platforms integrating UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía's system portfolio.

Chris Brinkley, Vice President and Head of Shield AI Europe and Africa, stated that European customers have high standards for the reliability, integration, and performance of autonomous systems. UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía possesses deep technical expertise in navigation, guidance, and control, and has an extensive platform deployment base across the European continent. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that Hivemind operates seamlessly on customers' existing systems.

Luis Furnells, Chairman and CEO of Grupo Oesía, noted that Shield AI's Hivemind brings proven mission autonomy capabilities, complementing the company's open architecture ecosystem. He looks forward to building on the interoperability work to provide enhanced capabilities for platforms and projects that rely on their systems.

Hivemind is a modular, platform-agnostic autonomous software developed by Shield AI that enables unmanned systems to independently perceive, decide, and act. Unlike traditional autopilots that cannot deviate from preset flight paths, Hivemind can dynamically replan mission routes, respond to unexpected situations, and avoid obstacles, thereby executing complex tasks safely and efficiently.

Shield AI is exhibiting at booth A276 in Hall 5A of the Eurosatory exhibition, while UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía is located at booth G220 in Hall 6.
