"When you see it, I believe that you'll probably think to yourself, 'Holy s--, that thing is f--- cool,'" said Shield AI President and Co-founder Brandon Tseng at a Tuesday event.
The new partnership focuses on HII’s Odyssey software suite and Shield AI’s Hivemind mission autonomy software.
The first deliveries are expected later this year as part of a multi-year deal for what Shield AI says is the first ship-launched intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform for the Japanese navy.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding this week “to explore strategic collaboration in the areas of autonomous capabilities and artificial intelligence on current and future defense programs."
