For the first time in its history, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) has selected a maritime-based ISR platform: V-BAT!

 ありがとうございます (Arigatou gozaimasu) to JMSDF for their trust in V-BAT and Shield AI as we work together to strengthen maritime ISR in the Indo-Pacific!

Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.
