AI Pilots for Singapore's Air Force | Ascent Spirit Powered by Hivemind

Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) to co-develop and proliferate Artificial Intelligence (AI) across a wider range of autonomous drone applications using Shield AI’s Hivemind software development kit (SDK). Within six months, operational and developer feedback from the RSAF and DSTA has led to refinements to the SDK, strengthening their developers’ capability to develop and deploy mission autonomy for RSAF’s Concept of Operations (CONOPs). The mission autonomy thus supports users in completing missions safely and effectively without human intervention and is able to reroute around no-fly zones, avoid threats and respond to unexpected conditions.
