Warsaw will join other operators, including Greece and the Netherlands, as well as the U.S. Navy and the Japan Maritime Self Defence Force, according to data from Shield AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn addition to the aircraft themselves, the V-BAT system comes with ground control stations, antennas, spares, and maintenance equipment, and other operating equipment needed to maintain operational readiness,\u201d a spokesperson for Shield AI told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spokesperson said that \u201cShield AI is actively pursuing partnerships with Polish industry to support future autonomy, aviation, and defense programs.
