On March 29, 2026, Shield AI stated its intention to use a portion of its recently secured capital to acquire Aechelon Technology Inc., a simulation software company. This follows Shield AI's announcement on March 27, 2026, that it is raising $1.5 billion in Series G funding at a $12.7 billion post-money valuation, alongside $500 million in fixed-return preferred equity financing. The company plans to acquire Aechelon to expand its defense simulation and autonomy capabilities. The Series G round is led by Advent International and co-led by the Strategic Investment Group of JPMorganChase’s Security and Resiliency Initiative, with participation from existing investors including Snowpoint Ventures and Riot Ventures. Earlier, on March 26, 2026, funds managed by Blackstone committed $500 million in preferred equity financing and an additional $250 million delayed draw facility to support Shield AI’s future growth, as part of the total $2 billion financing package.
