Defense and aerospace company Textron Systems and Shield AI recently announced their collaboration in support of advanced, multi-domain autonomy for a variety of military applications.

Based on years of mutual experience in the field, Textron Systems and Shield AI are cooperating on proof-of-concept work to integrate Shield AI technology into Textron Systems’ air, land and sea unmanned systems.

Wayne Prender, Senior Vice President of Textron Systems, said: “Working with U.S. Department of Defense customers since the 1980s to provide reliable, highly capable unmanned systems, we understand how these technologies extend the capabilities of our warfighters, while keeping them at a safe standoff distance.”

Textron is enhancing its autonomous platforms to meet stated and anticipated future requirements for its customers.

The company is looking forward to collaborating with Shield AI on this shared priority.
