It will be interesting to see a dogfight between an autonomous AI combat drone and human piloting the F-35. This article I found fascinating and I am working on obtaining more information on this project. If anyone has some background on this project please share with the group in this OP. If I find more of course I will post it here. I ran across looking for open solicitations my company might be able to respond to and found it of interest to ATS.

It's part of the Skyborg program. They're trying to pair unmanned aircraft with manned fighters that will act as their wingman, and attack targets autonomously. An air to air unmanned platform has been something like the holy grail of unmanned systems for many years.

Never found an AI opponent that could beat me in Flanker. I would think it would be the same situation here. But a robo-wingman could act as a distraction. Hopefully he wouldn't bump into you.

It's a slightly more advanced AI. They've already demonstrated with Loyal Wingman the ability to select targets, weapons, and attackers when it comes to attacking ground targets.

Yeah. In Flanker they were pretty stupid.

AI doesn't have to worry about G-LOC either. But this isn't WVR anyway, is it?

In theory it could be. But in practice, it'll almost certainly be BVR.

Yeah, imho AI would work best in aircraft designed for it, should be able to easily outperform a human pilot.

Might be a cheaper way to get things going by using mothballed airframes,strip out the avionics and then plug in a new Black Box AI controller.

Probably using some of things learned from ALPHA to teach the AI

Boeing, General Atomics, Kratos and Northrop won skyborg contracts.

It will work till the AI finds it hasn't shot a target down in a simulated fight and goes Kamikazi...

Can AI develop PTSD?

Not the moron level AI we have now, no. A truly sentient AI might.
