Next Big Challenge For #AI #Dogfighting Is Keeping Track Of Enemies Up Close
#US #AirForce made breakthroughs in autonomous air combat, announcing its #X62A test jet running on #artificialintelligence 'brain' went head-to-head with crewed fighter in a dogfight. Despite breakthrough mock dogfight, actually sensing where enemy is at during tight-turning battle is huge challenge to overcome. https://www.twz.com/air/next-big-challenge-for-ai-dogfighting-is-keeping-track-of-enemies-up-close
I mean we probably want this the #wingman project but isn't this how we get #Skynet?

#DARPA revealed that an #AI-controlled jet successfully faced a human pilot during an in-air #dogfight test carried out last year.
DARPA began experimenting with AI applications in December 2022. It worked to develop an AI system capable of autonomously flying a fighter jet inside its experimental #X62A #aircraft. That allowed it to get the AI-controlled craft into the air at the Edwards #AirForce Base, carried out its successful dogfight test against a human in Sep 2023.
