Shield AI is developing X-BAT - large, AI-controlled vertical takeoff and landing fighter jet, as well as the Hivemind - intelligent platform for military applications. X-BAT has a 12-meter wingspan, a maximum range of 2,000 nautical miles, and a 4G maneuvering load factor. It can carry combat missiles and take off and land from ships, remote islands or rugged forward bases, eliminating dependence on traditional infrastructure. Its AI autopilot can operate in conditions of GPS and communications interference. The company is collaborating with the US Department of Defense to develop next-generation intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems. Its Vidar multi-camera system, with day and night vision cameras and sensors, is installed on reconnaissance drones for edge video analytics and mapping. The company is also developing Tracker C-UAS, an intelligent software solution for the early detection of drones in air defense systems using video from electro-optical and infrared sensors.

Frankenburg Technologies is developing miniature anti-drone missiles that are at least ten times cheaper than those currently available on the market. These missiles were designed specifically to destroy drones and Shahed loitering munitions and are intended for mass production. The startup has also created an AI-powered situational awareness platform, enabling it to anticipate threats and stay ahead of adversaries. The company has already conducted tests at a NATO base, using a short-range missile to destroy a 2-meter (6.5-foot) drone traveling at 200 kilometers per hour (124 miles per hour).
