Report
Hello class, U.S. Air Force successfully test AI-controlled fighter jet. During the World War 1, aircrafts were deployed for surveillance, bombardment, and even for air-to-air combat. Aircrafts were initially utilized for reconnaissance, but as the conflict continued, they were increasingly deployed in battle. Air-to-air confrontations began with fighter planes such as military use aircrafts. For instance, back in the 1916 military aircraft were used at the Battle of the Somme which was a deadly battle against German forces along the Western Front of World War I. The combat lasted from July 1 to November 1916. British Army's Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was vital to the conflict. The RFC flew reconnaissance sorties to acquire intelligence on German forces and artillery positions and attacked enemy areas to reinforce ground troops. For the current event news, the Defense Department disclosed that artificial intelligence operated a jet resembling an F-16 for a total of 17 hours during 12 missions. A series of flights utilizing the X-62A Vista experimental aircraft took place in December at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The test's objective is to identify whether AI-controlled aircraft can cooperate with human pilots in a combat scenario. AI in military aviation could completely change how air warfare is carried out. AI systems may provide the military an advantage in combat because they can process huge amounts of information and make choices more quickly than humans. A representative of AACO stated, "It is crucial that we fly these agents to validate the difference from the simulator to live flights after training our AI-driven autonomy agents using high- performance computing, modeling, and simulation." In conclusion, this shows how military aviation has changed through time and how AI research will continue to influence how air combat is fought in the future. The use of AI in military applications has both advantages and drawbacks, but it is obvious that the technology will become more crucial to national defense and security in the years to come.
