Netherlands Ministry of Defence selects V-BAT

Jul 8, 2025 · Contract Award · Shield AI · Defence

  • The Netherlands Ministry of Defence selected V-BAT to support the country's Navy and Marine Corps.
  • The event is tied directly to Shield AI's core aircraft product rather than a broader software partnership.
  • It matters because it is a clear international procurement win for V-BAT with named defence operators.

Shield AI builds autonomy software and unmanned aircraft systems for defence and allied operations. Its stack includes the Hivemind autonomy platform and aircraft such as V-BAT and X-BAT. The company focuses on autonomous mission execution in contested and degraded environments.
