Artificial Intelligence
DataShapes AI is an advanced artificial intelligence and RF intelligence company focused on transforming how military and defense organizations understand, visualize, and dominate the electromagnetic spectrum. The company has developed a powerful edge native AI platform designed to convert massive volumes of complex radio frequency and sensor data into real time operational intelligence, enabling faster, more informed decision making across highly contested environments. Built for modern multi domain operations, DataShapes AI delivers scalable solutions that support spectrum awareness, signal detection, threat identification, autonomous analysis, and tactical battlefield superiority at the edge.
Originally developed within an incubator funded by renowned Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist Carl Berg, DataShapes AI was built through more than a decade of research, engineering, and operational refinement. Carl Berg, who has appeared multiple times on Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans and is widely recognized for his early investment in Sun Microsystems and numerous successful technology ventures, financed more than $18 million in the incubation and development of the company’s underlying technology platform. Berg’s venture firm later led an additional $5 million commercialization investment to accelerate the company’s market expansion and deployment initiatives.
DataShapes AI is led by an accomplished executive and advisory team that includes Peter D. Kiernan III, Executive Chairman of DataShapes AI, former Goldman Sachs Partner, former President of Cyrus Capital, CEO of Kiernan Ventures, and former Chairman of the Robin Hood Foundation. The company’s leadership combines deep expertise across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, RF engineering, distributed computing, finance, defense systems, and large scale technology commercialization.
Built by experts in cyber operations, signals intelligence, and artificial intelligence, the DataShapes AI team has created and patented first in class AI technology that automates radio frequency intelligence, enabling warfighters to control the battle of the spectrum across highly complex operational environments. The platform delivers extraordinarily efficient self learning capabilities and highly accurate spectrum intelligence within a versatile, serverless, low SWaP C architecture designed for next generation defense, intelligence, and national security applications.
DataShapes AI’s platform is engineered to provide operators with enhanced situational awareness across increasingly congested and contested electromagnetic environments. By automating the classification, interpretation, and visualization of RF activity, the company enables defense organizations to rapidly identify anomalies, monitor hostile spectrum activity, detect unmanned systems, and support electronic warfare and counter UAS operations with unprecedented speed and precision. The platform significantly reduces the cognitive burden placed on operators while improving response times and battlefield coordination.
The strategic relevance of the company’s technology was further reinforced through its involvement in L3Harris Technologies’ recently announced Wraith Shield capability, an AI enabled counter UAS solution designed to transform widely deployed tactical radios into distributed sensing and protection networks. According to the L3Harris announcement, Wraith Shield leverages AI and spectrum awareness technologies to allow operators using Falcon IV and Wraith capable radios to detect, understand, identify, and respond to small drone threats directly from tactical communications infrastructure. The system enables a highly scalable radio as a sensor architecture capable of supporting U.S., NATO, Five Eyes, and allied defense operations globally. DataShapes AI’s RF intelligence and visualization capabilities align directly with this next generation operational model by helping convert raw electromagnetic activity into actionable tactical awareness at machine speed.
As drone warfare, autonomous systems, and electronic attacks continue reshaping the future battlefield, DataShapes AI is positioned at the intersection of several of the fastest growing defense technology sectors, including artificial intelligence, spectrum dominance, counter drone systems, edge computing, electronic warfare, and C5ISR modernization. The company’s technology supports the growing military requirement for distributed intelligence architectures capable of operating across decentralized battlefield environments where traditional centralized systems may be vulnerable, delayed, or denied.
With deep expertise spanning AI, cyber operations, RF engineering, signals intelligence, distributed computing, and defense systems integration, DataShapes AI represents a new generation of battlefield intelligence platforms designed to help military and national security organizations achieve faster decision superiority, enhanced force protection, and operational dominance across the electromagnetic spectrum.
