Part 3/13:
One of the flagship innovations from Shield AI is its Xbat, a vertical takeoff, launch, and land (VTOL) AI-piloted fighter jet. Unlike traditional drones, which are often large, cumbersome, and expensive—like the iconic Predator or Reaper—Xbat is a miniature, more versatile, and cost-effective solution. Weighing around 180 pounds, Xbat aims to accomplish missions previously carried out by multi-million-dollar drones but at a fraction of the cost.
