Breaking New Ground in Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) Integration! Shield AI recently completed an LVC integration of the MQM-178 Firejet and our Hivemind AI Pilot. LVC is an innovative construct that links live platforms with platforms in virtual environments, enabling dynamic cross-domain interactions. A Kratos Defense and Security Solutions MQM-178 Firejet, equipped with Shield AI’s Hivemind Pilot, executed live autonomous flight operations while simultaneously teamed with a virtual Hivemind-piloted Firejet—showcasing the seamless integration of collaborative autonomy using a combination of live and virtual platforms. While LVC has been around for some time, this test series was unique in that it validated the exceptional quality of the Hivemind Pilot as a digital twin, with the live Firejet collaborating flawlessly with its virtual counterpart. Autonomy for the world. #DefenseTechnology #JetAircraft #Aviation #LVC #BuildwithShieldAI
