Shield AI has unveiled the X-BAT, the world’s newest AI-powered stealth fighter jet that operates without a pilot or runway. Using advanced VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) technology, the X-BAT can launch and land vertically, achieving speeds beyond Mach 4—over 5,000 km/h—while functioning entirely autonomously. Powered by Shield AI’s Hivemind software, the jet can fly, navigate, and engage targets without human control. With a range of 2,000 nautical miles, the X-BAT is equipped to carry both air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, redefining the future of autonomous aerial warfare.
