Nova 2
Indoor quadcopter
The Shield AI Nova 2 is an AI-piloted indoor quadcopter designed for autonomous reconnaissance in complex and dangerous environments.
Mission Profile
The Nova 2 is engineered to operate autonomously in GPS-denied and communication-denied indoor spaces, providing critical intelligence for special operations forces and law enforcement. Its primary role is to navigate and map unfamiliar indoor structures, identify potential threats, and relay information without direct human control or risk to personnel. This capability is crucial for clearing buildings, hostage rescue scenarios, and other high-risk operations where human entry is hazardous or impossible. The drone's AI-driven autonomy allows it to adapt to dynamic environments, avoiding obstacles and completing its mission even in the absence of external guidance or pre-programmed routes.
