It develops artificial intelligence-powered fighter pilots, drones, and technology for defense operations. Its clients include the US Air Force, US Army and Brazil Armed Forces. Shield AI's valuation is currently $2.3 billion. The company’s small-unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) Nova became the first AI-powered drone to be deployed for defense purposes in US military history. Shield AI was founded as a defense and artificial intelligence technology startup by former-Navy Seal Officer Brandon Tseng, his brother Ryan Tseng, and Andrew Reiter in San Diego, California in 2015. According to David Ignatius, writing for The Washington Post, ex-Navy SEAL Brandon got the startup idea while fighting in Afghanistan. In one of the missions, his unit suffered casualties in the Uruzgan province due to poor reconnaissance of a hostile building. The founding team began operations with a seed fund of $100,000 gathered from friends and family. They began building a prototype of their flagship Nova drone in 2015. More information...
