Shield AI secured $2 billion in a Series G round, pushing its valuation to $12.7 billion—more than double last year. $1.5 billion of equity led by Advent International and JPMorgan, plus $500 million of preferred equity from Blackstone, will fund the scaling of its Hivemind AI pilot and the planned acquisition of simulation firm Aechelon. This capital surge positions Shield AI as a dominant player in autonomous defense systems as global militaries accelerate AI integration.
