Defense tech firm Shield AI has achieved a milestone with a live drone swarm exercise in Taiwan. The company's Hivemind AI software controlled three Taiwanese-built drones as they flew a coordinated search mission without human pilots. Shield AI has a manufacturing facility in Frisco, and this exercise is part of its work in the defense technology field.

The company is becoming a major player in the US defense technology industry. Further details about the exercise and Shield AI's work are available from Dallas Innovates, which reported on the company's achievement and its growing presence in the field.
