#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

So, um, but yeah, it launches lands like a space X rocket.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

Again, our, our head of aircraft or Harris, I feel like he was just built for developing this aircraft, but worked, uh, as a principal engineer on the Falcon nine launch and land, and then was doing star link star shield, uh, working with Elon, um, and just wanted to work on the air layer and build a next generation aircraft.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

So, yeah.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

What is that hole in the front?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

So that's the intake up there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

So air intake for the engine.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

And yeah, that's what it is.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

Yeah, not much more to it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

Where do all the weaponry... So you've got internal and hard points on the other sides of the wings there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

Those are the weapons bay for, again, carrying basically...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

Any weapon, you can carry LRASMs, long-range anti-ship missiles.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

You can carry air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

You can carry bombs.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

Again, very much think of it as like the same thing that you would find on a fighter aircraft in terms of its weapon payload.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

The unique thing and one of the differentiating things about this, besides being vertical takeoff, launch, and land, but if I were to compare it to some of the other new CCA capabilities that you've seen built, those aircraft are using business jet engines, and so they can't generate the electrical power to run

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

fifth generation, sixth generation sensor suites and electronic attack payloads.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

And so electronic warfare being a massive aspect of the battlefield today, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

Jamming enemy GPS, jamming enemy communications, things that something like the F-18 Growler would be doing, we can also do that mission.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

And so it's like, look, even, you know, if you were to go Winchester on the weapons on this aircraft, you still have your electronic attack abilities.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#247 Brandon Tseng – Shield AI’s X-BAT: The First AI Fighter Jet to Outsmart Top Gun

And so you're still playing a role in the fight.
