This post details the first flight test integrating Shield AI's Hivemind mission-autonomy software with L3Harris's Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations (DiSCO™) electromagnetic battle management ecosystem. The demonstration involved unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) autonomously detecting, analyzing, and responding to electromagnetic threats without human intervention. Hivemind commanded the aircraft based on threat data from DiSCO, autonomously rerouting follow-on UAS through a safe operating zone. This validated Hivemind's ability to compress the sensor-to-decision cycle in real time for spectrum threats.
