(Bloomberg) -- Boeing Co. and Shield AI Inc. have agreed to work together to accelerate the military use of the startup’s autonomous aircraft software and explore other defense applications for the artificial-intelligence technology.

Most Read from Bloomberg

Shield AI’s hallmark software is Hivemind, a self-driving AI pilot for aircraft that doesn’t require GPS or other communications, ideal in military zones where enemy forces can jam navigation systems. Hivemind has been deployed in combat jets and drones since 2018.

“The government understands the critical nature of AI pilots, but legacy policies have made it difficult to procure this complex software for their aviation programs,” said Ryan Tseng, Shield AI’s chief executive officer and co-founder. “Shield AI and Boeing have the capacity to meet the government where it is.”

The agreement, announced Wednesday, will be managed by Boeing Phantom Works, which oversees prototype developments for the aerospace company’s defense and security projects, according to a statement.

San Diego-based Shield AI was founded in 2015 by Tseng, his brother, Brandon, a former Navy SEAL who serves as president, and Andrew Reiter. It has received several US Air Force contracts, including a $60 million deal last February to install Hivemind in a range of aircraft. Shield AI is currently valued at $2.3 billion, Tseng said.

Venture capital investment in defense startups valued at more than $1 billion, such as Shield AI, Anduril Industries Inc. and HawkEye 360, rose to a record $1.9 billion last year, as the US seeks to develop new technologies to meet military challenges. The Department of Defense’s Office of Strategic Capital, unveiled in December, has made it a priority to improve the government’s relationship with the venture community and help the Pentagon buy software products.

    For investors, the stock market is always a game of risk and reward, and no segment exemplifies that better than the penny stocks. Defined as stocks trading at a price of less than $5, the pennies bring an ultra-low cost of entry to the table, along with a powerful potential for strong gains. At these low initial prices, even a small incremental increase in share price will quickly translate into a high-percentage gain on the initial investment – and for penny stocks’ fans, gains of 200% or even

    Markets on Edge Ahead of Jobs and Inflation Reports

    U.S. financial markets are limping into a crucial period, with analysts warning about the potential for key economic releases to deliver a further blow to investors’ early-year optimism. Investors are eagerly, and nervously, looking forward to those reports because of a string of data last month that suggested that the economy was much stronger, and inflation much higher, than most had previously thought. Investors are now betting that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates even higher than officials had forecast in December—a concern buttressed this week by comments by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

    Frontier countries to suffer most if Fed rate gets to 6% -analysts

    Emerging markets are facing their demons as traders mull whether U.S. Federal Reserve interest rates will rise as high as 6%, a level that could kick weaker countries when they're down, while diverging global growth paths and China's reopening might cushion some of the blow for the bigger ones. Expectations for where the Fed's terminal rate would peak have been rising at breakneck speed: Markets are pricing in a 5.5%-5.75% range for September, while the CME FedWatch tool shows a near 50% chance for the band to hit 6% that month. The scale and pace of the move makes for uncomfortable reading for investors in developing stocks, bonds and currencies that have often buckled under rising global rates.
