Shield AI and Sedaro today announced a strategic partnership to advance autonomous operations in orbit. The collaboration establishes Shield AI's Hivemind Pilotas Sedaro's preferred autonomy software for on-orbit demonstrations, extending the company's proven edge autonomy from air and sea into space.

Under the agreement, Shield AI will use the Sedaro Platform as its primary environment for developing, testing, and demonstrating Hivemind in space-relevant scenarios. The combination of Hivemind's battle-proven autonomy and Sedaro's high-fidelity simulation platform will accelerate the design, simulation, and validation of autonomous behaviors for orbital missions.
“The strategic partnership with Sedaro and its technology is a critical enabler of at-the-edge, in-orbit autonomy,” said Christian Gutierrez, vice president of Hivemind Solutions at Shield AI. “Combining Hivemind Pilot with Sedaro's high-fidelity models and simulation environment will unlock multi-agent cognitive teaming for space applications and new mission capabilities for our customers.”
This partnership marks Shield AI's deliberate expansion into the space domain, bringing the same resilient, edge-based autonomy that is redefining warfare to satellites delivering critical infrastructure and national defense capabilities. By integrating Hivemind with Sedaro's collaborative, edge deployable simulation architecture-trusted by the U.S. Space Force, Space Development Agency, NASA, and leading primes-Shield AI can rapidly iterate autonomous behaviors for proximity operations, swarm coordination, defensive counter-space, and cognitive battle management across constellations.
“At Sedaro, we make it easier, faster, and safer to design, simulate, and operate missions at scale,” said Robbie Robertson, CEO and co-founder of Sedaro. “Integrating Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy brings that same agility to on-orbit systems, dramatically reducing time from concept to proven capability.”
The companies will collaborate on deployment designs ranging from ground-based centric control to in-orbit cognitive capabilities, paving the way for scalable, autonomous spacecraft operations in contested and communications-limited environments.
