Powered by Hivemind: Autonomous Teaming and Strike at the Edge

What this post added

This post details the integration of Hivemind mission autonomy onto the Destinus Hornet platform, extending its capabilities from single-aircraft control to autonomous teaming with V-BAT for ISR and airborne relay. It highlights the rapid integration process (under two months), the modular architecture enabling integration onto existing weapon systems, and the demonstration of collaborative flights with in-flight target updates and over-the-air mission updates. The post also covers the full mission thread execution, including autonomy-assisted mission planning, autonomous terrain following, and commanded terminal dives onto operator-designated targets, validating Hivemind's ability to enable coordinated strike operations in contested environments.
