Shield AI and L3Harris Team for Breakthrough in Autonomy
Rhea-AI Summary
L3Harris Technologies [NYSE: LHX] and Shield AI have announced a collaboration to demonstrate electronic warfare operations using AI-enabled unmanned systems. The partnership combines L3Harris' DiSCO™ (Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations) software with Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy software.
DiSCO™, a software-defined Electromagnetic Battle Management ecosystem, can detect, collect, and analyze threat signals within minutes. The integration aims to enable autonomous systems that can sense, adapt, and act while executing physical and electromagnetic movements in complex battlefield environments.
The collaboration focuses on developing distributed, autonomous kill webs for real-time operation in contested environments. L3Harris and Shield AI plan to continue demonstrations and integrations to deliver scalable, multi-domain solutions for the U.S. and its allies.
Positive
- Strategic partnership enhancing L3Harris' electronic warfare capabilities
- Integration of advanced AI technology for autonomous operations
- Potential for new military contract opportunities
Negative
- Development and integration costs not disclosed
- Timeline for full implementation not specified
- Competition in military AI space could impact market share

Data tracked by StockTitan Argus on the day of publication.
At the core of this effort is L3Harris' Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations, or DiSCO™, a software-defined Electromagnetic Battle Management ecosystem that can detect, collect and analyze known and unknown threat signals within minutes. This specific collaboration pairs DiSCO with Shield AI's Hivemind.
"Our warfighters face a complex, multi-domain battlefield full of rapidly evolving threats," said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. "DiSCO will leverage Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy software to accelerate the ability to make faster, more informed decisions."
"Adversaries' kill webs are complex, restrict access and put assets at risk. Countering them requires shifting to distributed, autonomous kill webs that sense, decide and act in real-time," said Christian Gutierrez, VP of Hivemind Solutions, Shield AI. "Integrating Hivemind autonomy with L3Harris' EW capabilities enables dynamic maneuverability in contested environments."
L3Harris and Shield AI will continue further demonstrations and integrations, leveraging the strengths of both companies to deliver scalable, multi-domain solutions for the
