Chung-Shan Institute Completes AI Drone Mission With US Software
By TaiwanPlus
Taiwan's Chung-Shan Institute has partnered with American startup Shield AI to complete a fully autonomous search mission with three domestically produced drones. The UAVs covered their own search areas, coordinated maneuvers and landed without human piloting, with the institute now planning to roll out the technology more broadly across Taiwan's drone fleet.

Taiwan has completed a fully autonomous search mission using AI piloting software and domestically produced drones.
Taiwan's Chung-Shan Institute teamed up with American startup Shield AI to pilot a three-drone search mission. The drones covered their own search areas, coordinated maneuvers and landed themselves once the mission was complete. Shield AI says this kind of piloting software is critical for effective drone use on the battlefield. Following the successful trial, the Institute says it plans to roll out the piloting software more broadly across Taiwan’s drone fleet.

Taiwan has used AI piloting software to complete a fully autonomous search mission with domestically produced drones.
Taiwan's Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, which builds the Mighty Hornet III drones, teamed up with American startup Shield AI, whose Hivemind software piloted them. All three drones covered their own search areas, coordinated movements and landed themselves once the mission was complete. The Institute says it plans to roll out the software more broadly across Taiwan’s drone fleet on the back of the success. Shield AI says this kind of software is critical for effective drone use on the battlefield.

US-Taiwan Drone Partnership
REPORTER:
Taiwan has successfully completed a fully autonomous, wide-area search mission with domestically produced drones running American software.
Taiwan's Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, which builds the Mighty Hornet III drones, teamed up with American startup Shield AI, whose Hivemind software piloted them.
All three drones covered their own search areas, stayed in contact with each other, and landed themselves once the mission was complete.
The Institute was able to adopt Shield AI’s software in just three months, prompting the two sides to expand their partnership. Shield AI says its software fills a gap in trained drone pilots.
