L3Harris and Shield AI Achieve Breakthrough in Autonomous Electronic Warfare
L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) and Shield AI have successfully demonstrated a first-of-its-kind integration combining L3Harris’ electromagnetic battle management ecosystem known as Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations (DiSCO™) with Shield AI’s Hivemind mission-autonomy software.
The joint effort marks a significant milestone in autonomous electronic warfare by showcasing how unmanned systems can detect, analyze and respond to electromagnetic threats in real time without human intervention.
“This demonstration validates our ability to rapidly deliver the AI-driven, multi-domain solutions our warfighters need now,” said Lauren Barnes, President, Spectrum Superiority, Communications and Spectrum Dominance, L3Harris. “By integrating autonomous decision-making with advanced battle management technology, we’re answering the Pentagon’s urgent call for coordinated command and control of multiple unmanned systems.”

The real-time, hardware-in-the-loop simulation involved DiSCO gathering and analyzing threat intelligence from multiple unmanned aircraft systems to create a fused common operating picture of the electromagnetic spectrum. The insights enabled the Hivemind-powered UAS to autonomously identify safe operating zones and execute tactical maneuvers to achieve mission objectives.
“Electronic warfare moves at machine speed, and operational advantage depends on autonomy,” said Christian Gutierrez, Vice President, Hivemind Solutions, Shield AI. “Our integration with DiSCO shows that unmanned systems can sense and act across the electromagnetic spectrum in real time and we’re excited to build on this momentum with L3Harris and expand across the electronic warfare mission set.”
The demonstration also integrated an L3Harris electronic warfare vehicle, Green Wolf, equipped with electronic attack and other detection capabilities. Other elements of the test included the use of a software-defined radio payload that provided electronic support with Shield AI’s Hivemind software and UAS communications relay platform – all operating in an environment that replicated real-world conditions.
Both companies plan to conduct live flight testing later this year with actual radio frequency emitters, platforms and payloads for coordinated electronic warfare operations.

BAE Completes PDR for USSF Missile Warning and Tracking Satellite System
Key milestone reached for U.S. Space Force program that will bolster current satellite defense capabilities
BAE Systems (LON: BA) has completed the Preliminary Design Review for the $1.2 billion U.S. Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC) Resilient Missile Warning & Tracking (RMWT) – Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Epoch 2 program to provide missile warning and tracking of advanced missile threats.
This milestone establishes the technical foundation for the satellite and ground command and control (C2) systems. Completion of the preliminary design for a multi-satellite constellation was achieved in less than nine months from the time of award.
This was possible using high technology readiness level components such as BAE Systems’ TREK product bus, the use of model-based systems engineering, and its extensive heritage with infra-red optical payloads.

“We have achieved a successful Preliminary Design Review with Space Force’s Space Systems Command, based on our collective use of digital modelling and simulation that validates the implementation of our plan,” said Thai Sheridan, vice president and general manager of Military Space for BAE Systems. “BAE Systems is leading this integrated program from a mission planning level, payload and bus delivery, to launch, ground and operations support.”
BAE Systems serves as the prime contractor for the program, which features extensive use of digital model-based systems engineering to streamline data analysis and design capabilities.
The company will design and build 10 spacecraft for the MEO Epoch 2 mission. It will also develop the ground system that will manage the satellite constellation by delivering mission management, command and control and mission operations solutions to enhance operational efficiency.
The mission will provide resilient, space-based missile warning and tracking of ballistic missiles and advanced threats, such as hypersonic glide vehicles.
The SSC MEO Epoch 2 program is a part of Department of War and Space Force satellite constellations that BAE Systems supports to enhance national security and defense.
