About Us:

Shield.AI is a San Diego based startup whose mission is to save lives with artificially intelligent systems.

Shield is building an artificially intelligent drone that finds people and threats inside buildings without a remote pilot. The idea came from Co-founder Brandon Tseng’s own experiences in combat and aims to transform the battlefield by providing critical insights that remove the fog of war, which will enable service members to make life-saving decisions.
