The collaboration is expected to deliver an integrated solution designed to give warfighters speed, resilience and interoperability in contested environments.
“Integrating Hivemind with Parry Labs’ digital-engineering and edge-infrastructure capabilities allows us to deliver mission autonomy to new platforms faster,” said Tom Schaefer, vice president of product for Hivemind.
“This partnership expands the reach of our autonomy architecture across services and missions, providing operators with a trusted, interoperable foundation for operations in GPS- and comms-denied environments.”
Under the MOU, Shield AI and Parry Labs will align their software products with the autonomy-enabled ground reference architecture and jointly demonstrate their combined capabilities.
“This collaboration creates a force multiplier for the warfighter,” Parry Labs chief executive officer John “JD” Parkes said.
“By combining Shield AI’s proven autonomy stack with our edge AI infrastructure, we are bringing leading technologies together and scaling them across DoD’s most important programs.”
The companies will also explore additional integration opportunities across autonomy software, mission systems and edge computing.
The partnership will focus on enabling US military services and partners to accelerate the adoption of scalable, open and interoperable mission autonomy.
