BAM! V-BAT has been officially designated the MQ-35A. This designation represents a number of major milestones that were achieved by V-BAT. As our AI pilot Hivemind is integrated into V-BAT and unlocks swarming, GPS denied, and comms denied maneuver, the MQ-35A will become one of the most strategic military aircraft in history. Huge shoutout to our Shield AI team and to the DoD champions who have worked to get V-BAT into the hands of the warfighter. A quick lesson on what the letters mean: "M” stands for multi-mission, meaning V-BAT does many different types of missions versus an "R" prefix for reconnaissance or an "F/A" prefix for fighter/ attack. “Q” stands for unmanned aerial vehicle. #VBAT #UAS #Autonomy #DoD #militaryaircraft #AI
