Shield AI's V-BAT is the future of tactical UAS today. Nothing else in the world like it, V-BAT is the next-generation UAS. In head-to-head customer fly-offs, V-BAT wins. The U.S. and allied militaries are choosing V-BAT because it delivers, period. The true differentiator between V-BAT and the rest is its patented ducted fan design. V-BAT's duct increases thrust by 80%+ at equivalent engine power, enabling take-off and landing with a single power plant and achieving unmatched payload mass friction. It can fly for a half day or stop and hover for hours on end. Most importantly, thrust vectoring bestows V-BAT with unmatched control authority for rock-solid stability in high winds and challenging weather - whether taking off, landing, flying forward, or in a transition state. V-BAT is designed explicitly for runway and equipment-independent launch and recovery in austere environments with no external support.
