L3Harris and Shield AI completed the first live flight test of autonomous electronic warfare systems, with unmanned aircraft detecting, analysing and responding to electromagnetic threats without human intervention. The integration of Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy software with L3Harris's DiSCO spectrum management platform and Green Wolf UAS compressed the sensor-to-decision cycle in real time.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You now have a live-tested blueprint for selling autonomy to the US military. L3Harris just proved the sensor-to-decision cycle can run without a human in the loop, and they did it by integrating your software into their platform—meaning the sale path runs through integration, not replacement. Call L3Harris's spectrum division this week; they've just opened a procurement window for autonomous decision-making across their UAS and electronic warfare roadmap.
