[ABOUT US]

Our story

As a Navy SEAL, Shield co-founder Brandon Tseng experienced firsthand problems where intelligent autonomy could have made life-saving differences. He asked himself, "What does the military of 2030 look like, and what role does autonomy play?" The answer: autonomous pilots powering every military asset: aircraft, drones, ships, satellites, and submarines.

What does the military of 2030 look like, and what role does autonomy play? The answer: autonomous pilots powering every military asset: aircraft, drones, ships, satellites, and submarines.

The lack of software and engineering talent from large defense primes presented an opportunity to start fresh and build the aerospace and defense technology company of the 21st century focused on autonomous pilots. And in 2015, alongside co-founders Ryan Tseng and Andrew Reiter, Shield was founded to bring the best of autonomy technology to the DoW and our allies to protect service members and civilians.
