MELBOURNE, Fla., Feb. 26, 2025 — L3Harris Technologies [NYSE: LHX] and Shield AI will collaborate on a demonstration to enable an electronic warfare (EW) operation with AI-enabled unmanned systems that will sense, adapt and act while simultaneously executing physical and electromagnetic movements. 

At the core of this effort is L3Harris’ Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations, or DiSCO™, a software-defined Electromagnetic Battle Management ecosystem that can detect, collect and analyze known and unknown threat signals within minutes. This specific collaboration pairs DiSCO with Shield AI’s Hivemind

“Our warfighters face a complex, multi-domain battlefield full of rapidly evolving threats,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “DiSCO will leverage Shield AI’s Hivemind autonomy software to accelerate the ability to make faster, more informed decisions.”

“Adversaries’ kill webs are complex, restrict access and put assets at risk. Countering them requires shifting to distributed, autonomous kill webs that sense, decide and act in real-time,” said Christian Gutierrez, VP of Hivemind Solutions, Shield AI. “Integrating Hivemind autonomy with L3Harris’ EW capabilities enables dynamic maneuverability in contested environments.”

L3Harris and Shield AI will continue further demonstrations and integrations, leveraging the strengths of both companies to deliver scalable, multi-domain solutions for the U.S. and its allies.
