reconnaissance

Shield AI started in 2015 with the aim to offer reconnaissance in U.S. operations in the Middle East.

Traditional cyber-espionage requires large teams working through reconnaissance, system mapping, vulnerability identification and lateral movement.

The loyal wingman is a type of AI-powered drone designed to operate in tandem with manned fighter jets and other aircraft, providing reconnaissance and carrying extra weapons.

The base was used to run US intelligence reconnaissance flights, detecting potential drug smuggling.

A reconnaissance company commander working around Pokrovsk said only five of his 20 men are combat ready—several were killed over the past month and many are in the hospital.
