The U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency have demonstrated the capability of artificial intelligence algorithms to control the X-62A Variable In-Flight Stability Test Aircraft as part of DARPA’s Air Combat Evolution program. The military branch and DARPA tested the AI-controlled X-62A VISTA aircraft against a manned F-16 plane in within-visual-range combat scenarios, also known as dogfighting, during a demonstration at Edwards Air Force Base in California, Air Force Materiel Command said Wednesday. “It’s very easy to look at the X-62A ACE program and see it as under autonomous control, it can dogfight, but
