“#DARPA to test AI-controlled jets in live-fly dogfights after successful simulations<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n DARPA\u2018s mission to develop AI fighter jets has moved a step closer to take-off.<\/p>\n

The military research agency\u2019s\u00a0algorithms took down an Air Force pilot\u00a0in a virtual dogfight last year. In February, the Pentagon\u2019s \u201cmad science<\/a>\u201d unit tested how they\u2019d perform as a team.<\/p>\n

The battle pitted two friendly F-16s\u00a0against a single enemy aircraft. Each fighter jet was equipped with a\u00a0gun for short-range engagements\u00a0and a missile for more distant targets.<\/p>\n

Colonel Dan \u201cAnimal\u201d Javorsek, program manager in DARPA\u2019s Strategic Technology<\/a> Office, said<\/a> testing multiple weapons and aircraft\u00a0introduced new dynamics to the trials:<\/p>\n

These new engagements represent an important step in building trust in the algorithms since they allow us to assess how the AI agents handle clear avenue of fire restrictions set up to prevent fratricide. This is exceedingly important when operating with offensive weapons in a dynamic and confusing environment that includes a manned fighter and also affords the opportunity to increase the complexity and teaming associated with maneuvering two aircraft in relation to an adversary.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DARPA is also assessing how much pilots trust the systems. Javorsek said they\u2019ve installed sensors in a jet to measure physiological responses, such as where a pilot\u2019s head is pointing and where their eyes are moving:<\/span><\/p>\n

This enables us to see how much the pilot is checking on the autonomy by looking outside the window, and comparing that to how much time they spend on their battle management task.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
