The companies Airbus US Space & Defense and Shield AI have entered into a strategic agreement to integrate the Hivemind autonomous control software from Shield AI into the unmanned logistics connector MQ-72C, a modification of the UH-72 Lakota helicopter.
The goal of the partnership is to increase the operational flexibility of the aircraft through the introduction of autonomous flight capabilities, which is especially important to support future logistics missions of the United States Marine Corps.
The cooperation is carried out within the framework of the Aerial Logistics Connector (ALC) program, aimed at developing unmanned platforms capable of operating effectively in contested space and reducing risks for crews during cargo delivery in complex operational areas.
As part of the project, the companies will test Hivemind software in combination with Helionix avionics, which will enable a number of advanced autonomous missions, including automated takeoff, navigation in dense airspace and landing without human intervention.
This collaboration marks an important step towards the development of unmanned logistics for military needs and demonstrates the commitment of Airbus and Shield AI to create solutions that can be used not only in the United States, but also in other NATO countries.
