Similar to a human pilot, Hivemind reads and reacts to the battlefield, and does not require GPS, waypoints, or comms to make decisions. Hivemind enables intelligent teams to perform missions ranging from room clearance with Novas, penetrating air defense systems with V-BATs, to dogfighting F-16s.
Intelligent Teaming
Shield AI’s synthetic environments combined with human-machine tactics and behaviors. Testing and learning in real physics simulations reduces engineering cycle times and enables rapid real-world deployment. Welcome to the defense metaverse.
Edge Autonomy
The aircraft uses sensors to create a map or world-view, the computer then tells the aircraft or autopilot where to go and what to do to execute its mission. No GPS, no waypoints, and no comms are needed for aircraft to accomplish their missions.




Everything we do starts with the operator and the environment they're working in. The software and mission systems behind the platform are increasingly where the operational advantage sits. We know these systems have to be scalable, affordable and rapidly deployable. Operators need capability they can field at pace.
Nyan is one of a number of platforms including Koios and Fregata designed and delivered by Callen-Lenz, a BAE Systems’ entity. Nyan forms part of BAE Systems’ expanding portfolio of uncrewed air systems being produced through FalconWorks.
Building on more than 25 years of experience in uncrewed and autonomous systems, we are delivering a range of products capable of working alongside both current and future frontline platforms to provide affordable combat mass.
