Shield receives NSPA order for additional V-BATs for Hellenic Army and Navy
Contract significantly expands Greece’s V-BAT fleet and includes spares, training, ground support equipment and long-term in-service support ATHENS (November 11, 2026) — The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has ordered additional Shield V-BAT vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the Hellenic Armed Forces. The additional aircraft order significantly expands a capability already in Hellenic service for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations on land and at sea. Operating a common V-BAT fleet across the Armed Forces will support greater interoperability, standardize training and maintenance, and give both services access to a runway-independent aircraft designed for maritime and expeditionary operations. “An order for additional V-BATs represents a major expansion of Greece’s persistent ISR capacity and a strong vote of confidence in an aircraft already operating in Hellenic service,” said James Lythgoe, regional director for Eastern and Southeast Europe at Shield.

Does Your Simulation Capture the World Your Mission Requires?
This blog is part of a series exploring the technologies and principles shaping the future of simulation. A helicopter crew flies a night route in a simulator. The copilot/gunner switches to thermal to identify a building near the landing zone. The building is in the right place, but does it look as it would through the aircraft’s actual sensor? The gunner uses the display to practice recognizing objects and making engagement decisions. If the simulated sensor shows features the real equipment would not reveal, the gunner can learn to rely on cues that will be missing on the mission. Each sensor view needs to draw from the same building data, including its location, shape and surface materials. That shared description is digital ground truth.

Shield’s Hivemind flies multiple Air Force CCAs as a coordinated team for the first time
Milestone follows an earlier flight in which an F-22 pilot directed a FQ-44A Fury in flight Shield’s Hivemind mission autonomy software has achieved two firsts for the U.S. Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft program in three weeks: executing directives from an airborne F-22 pilot and enabling multiple CCAs to fly in formation and execute collaborative beyond-visual-range counter-air tactics. The demonstrations mark a progression from a fighter pilot directing an autonomous teammate to multiple autonomous aircraft maneuvering as a coordinated team, putting the “collaborative” in Collaborative Combat Aircraft. On October 8, an F-22 pilot served as an airborne “quarterback,” issuing high-level directives to a FQ-44A. Hivemind interpreted and executed those directives in real time, enabling the aircraft to perform dynamic maneuvers and simulated combat tasks under the pilot’s direction.

Shield to acquire Echodyne in a transaction valued at $5.3 billion and raise $2.5 billion at a $28.8 billion valuation
Acquisition to expand Shield’s Mission Systems business into the fast-growing radar and counter-drone sectors SAN DIEGO and KIRKLAND, Wash. (November 5, 2026) – Shield today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Echodyne Corp., an industry-leading radar company, in a transaction valued at $5.3 billion. Echodyne radars are built into hundreds of counter-drone and security systems used by defense, government and commercial customers in more than 40 countries. Both companies expect triple-digit revenue growth this fiscal year. Shield is raising $2.5 billion to support the transaction, including $1 billion in Series H funding at a $28.8 billion post-money valuation, a $1 billion structured equity investment from funds managed by Blackstone and $500 million in debt financing led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Sole Arranger. Of the $5.3 billion transaction value, $4.8 billion will be paid and issued at closing and up to an additional $500 million is contingent on Echodyne meeting agreed performance targets. “We are building a new-generation defense technology company consisting of three fast-growing, high-margin, mutually supporting business units: autonomy software, autonomous systems, and mission systems,” said Gary Steele, CEO of Shield. “The acquisition of Echodyne dramatically accelerates our efforts to meet growing customer demand for multi-mission capabilities, provides increased access to a rapidly expanding counter-drone industry, and further diversifies our revenue streams with sustained, compelling growth for the combined company.”
