In late 2025, Harrison Rider LLC produced a market analysis and strategic roadmap for Shield AI, detailing how the company’s Hivemind autonomy core can expand from aerial to ground domains. The work integrates cross-service demand signals, DoD budget analysis, and acquisition pathways to pinpoint near-term entry points for ground autonomy. The roadmap outlines how Shield AI can leverage existing contracts and PEO relationships to validate mission impact, secure pilot integrations, and transition into recurring license and sustainment revenue.
