V-BAT Swarm Simulation
Powered by Hivemind
Overview
This real-time animation was created for display at the Shield AI trade show booth to demonstrate the capabilities of the company’s Hivemind autonomous flight system. Using Unreal Engine, I developed a cinematic visualization showing multiple V-BAT aircraft flying together over GPS denied areas. The goal of the animation was to illustrate how the Hivemind AI platform enables multiple aircraft to operate cooperatively as an autonomous group. The final animation was displayed on large-format screens at industry trade shows and defense demonstrations, serving as a key visual element of the Shield AI exhibition booth.
