Enabling the mission autonomy flywheel: The AWS four-phase approach to defense innovation
In this post, you will learn how AWS technologies support the entire autonomous system lifecycle from AI-powered design and virtual prototyping in pre-deployment, to edge computing through services like AWS IoT Core and AWS IoT Greengrass and related solution guidance like Tactical Edge Application Deployment on AWS and Cloud Edge Global Access (CEGA) during deployment, through real-time mission operations, and finally to post-mission evolution using secure over-the-air updates and predictive maintenance.
Shield AI and AWS collaborate to deliver mission autonomy at fleet scale
This significant growth in military unmanned aerial vehicles, which serve as a proxy for the broader autonomous systems market, underscores the urgent need for scalable, secure, and efficient software deployment solutions. As the number of autonomous platforms increases, so does the complexity of managing their software systems. In response to this growing challenge, Shield AI and AWS have collaborated and successfully demonstrated a scalable architecture and proof of concept (PoC) that addresses challenges often seen when deploying autonomy software and machine learning algorithms onto autonomous systems.
