New Lockheed Martin training jet flown by an AI for over 17 hours

A world first for artificial intelligence

The Lockheed Martin VISTA (Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft) X-62A, created by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works classified research laboratory alongside Calspan Corporation, is fitted with software that allows it to mimic the performance characteristics of other aircraft. In December, the aircraft was flown for 17 hours by AI as part of tests at the US Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in Kern County, California. (More: Techspot)

２０２８年には配備しなければ『間に合わない』、中国の軍事的脅威に

アメリカ空軍はＡＩ搭載のＦ１６を１０００機配備計画

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

５月２日、フランク・ケンダル米空軍長官はカリフォルニア州の砂漠上空を試験飛行するＡＩ（人工知能）制御の戦闘機に搭乗した。エドワード空軍基地から飛び立った。

　ケンダル空軍長官は四月に米上院歳出委員会の国防委員会で証言し、「AIが操縦する無人のF16戦闘機が２０２８年には配備に就かなければ『間に合わない』、中国の軍事的脅威にアメリカは対応出来なくなる」と衝撃的は発言をしたばかりである。

AIを搭載した実験用F16戦闘機は「Xー62A VISTA」。米空軍は1000機で編成される無人飛行隊を計画している。

　

これがＣＣＡ（Collaborative Combat Aircraft) と呼ばれるプロジェクトで 60 億ドルのプログラムの一部だ。同時にドローンをジェット機と並べて作戦を展開する。入札企業は、ボーイング、ロッキード・マーチン、ノースロップ・グラマン、ゼネラル・アトミックス、アンドゥリル・インダストリーズが含まれる。

2023年8月、キャスリーン・ヒックス国防副長官は、AI搭載自動運転車の配備は「小型、スマート、安価、そして多数の消耗品を米軍に提供し、米国軍事革新の移行の抜本的見直しに役立つ」と述べている。

彼女はそのためにシリコンバレーとの緊密な強調が必要だとした。

　

　２４年４月１３日の公聴会でも、ケンダル空軍長官は「イランがイスラエルに向けて発射されたミサイルのすべてが、迎撃された。アメリカは中国との戦争で負けることを避けるために戦力を最適化する必要がある」

　これらの証言にアメリカの焦りを感じる。

The X-62A VISTA aircraft, an experimental AI-enabled Air Force F-16 fighter jet, takes off on Thursday, May 2, 2024

The US Air Force Is Moving Fast on AI-Piloted Fighter Jets

On the morning of December 1, 2022, a modified F-16 fighter jet codenamed VISTA X-62A took off from Edwards Air Force Base, roughly 60 miles north of Los Angeles. Over the course of a short test flight, the VISTA engaged in advanced fighter maneuver drills, including simulated aerial dogfights, before landing successfully back at base. While this may sound like business as usual for the US’s premier pilot training school—or like scenes lifted straight from Top Gun: Maverick—it was not a fighter pilot at the controls but, for the first time on a tactical aircraft, a sophisticated AI.

Overseen by the US Department of Defense, VISTA X-62A undertook 12 AI-led test flights between December 1 and 16, totaling more than 17 hours of autonomous flight time. The breakthrough comes as part of a drive by the United States Air Force Vanguard to develop unmanned combat aerial vehicles. Initiated in 2019, the Skyborg program will continue testing through 2023, with hopes of developing a working prototype by the end of the year. 

The VISTA program is a crucial first step toward these goals, M. Christopher Cotting, director of research at USAF Test Pilot School, explains. “This approach, combined with focused testing on new vehicle systems as they are produced, will rapidly mature autonomy for uncrewed platforms and allow us to deliver tactically relevant capability to our warfighter,” he says. 

With Ukraine’s use of semiautonomous drones, the US military’s first autonomous flight of a Black Hawk helicopter last November, and the successful testing of AI algorithms in US U-2 spy planes in 2020, it’s clear that autonomous combat represents the next front in modern warfare. But just how completely will AI take over our skies, and what does it mean for the human pilots left on the ground?

The VISTA X-62A (short for Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft) has always been ahead of its time. Built in the 1980s and based on an F-16D Block 30 Peace Marble Il, the plane previously held the designation NF-16D and became the US Airforce Test Pilot School’s go-to simulation machine in the early 1990s. A versatile and adaptable training tool boasting open systems architecture, the VISTA can be fitted with software that allows it to mimic the performance characteristics of multiple aircraft, from heavy bombers to ultra-light fighter jets. 

Prior to last year’s autonomous flight tests, the VISTA received a much-needed update in the form of a “model following algorithm” (MFA) and a “system for autonomous control of the simulation” (SACS) from Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works. Combined with the VISTA Simulation System from defense and aerospace company Calspan Corporation, these updates facilitated an emphasis on autonomy and AI integration. 

Utilizing General Dynamics’s Enterprise-wide Open Systems Architecture (E-OSA) to power the Enterprise Mission Computer version 2 (EMC2, or Einstein Box), the SACS system also integrates advanced sensors, a set of Getac tablet displays in both cockpits, and multilevel security features, all of which enhance VISTA’s capabilities, including its rapid-prototyping advantage, which allows for speedy software updates to meet the accelerating pace of AI development.

Yapay zeka destekli savaş uçağı insan pilotla koordineli uçmayı başardı

ABD Hava Kuvvetleri, savaş eğitimi senaryolarında yapay zeka destekli F-16 jetlerini test ediyor. Hava Kuvvetleri Bakanı Frank Kendall Perşembe günü tarihi bir test uçuşu gerçekleştirdi. AP'nin bildirdiğine göre, bazı savaş senaryolarında yapay zeka destekli jetler insan pilotlardan daha iyi performans gösteriyor. ABD Hava Kuvvetleri, yapay zeka destekli X-62A VISTA otonom savaş uçağıyla Perşembe günü tarihi bir test uçuşu gerçekleştirdi . ABD Hava Kuvvetleri Sekreteri Frank Kendall'ın kokpitte oturduğu Edwards Hava Kuvvetleri Üssü üzerindeki uçuş, Associated Press'e göre çeşitli muharebe tatbikatları ve hava muharebe senaryolarından geçti . Çıkış, Eylül ayında testlerin başlamasından bu yana yaklaşık iki düzine uçuş gerçekleştiren yapay zeka destekli uçağın bazı senaryolarda insan pilotlardan daha iyi performans göstermeye başladığını bildirdi. AP, Perşembe günü yapılan uçuşta, X-62A VISTA uçağının, insan pilotlu bir F-16 ile "neredeyse burun buruna" gittiğini ve iki uçağın, birbirlerinden 300 metre uzakta, saatte 550 milden fazla hızlarda manevra yaptığını bildirdi. İnsani yardım grupları ölüm kalım kararlarını yapay zeka destekli bir aracın ellerine bırakma konusunda derin endişelerini dile getirirken Kendall, yapay zekanın istesek de istemesek de küresel savaş stratejilerini zaten yeniden yapılandırdığını vurguladı. Kendall indikten sonra AP'ye şunları söyledi: "Buna sahip olmamak bir güvenlik riski. Bu noktada buna sahip olmamız gerekiyor." AP, ABD Hava Kuvvetlerinin yapay zekaya büyük yatırım yaptığını, insanlı gemilerle mümkün olandan daha riskli manevralar gerçekleştirmek için 1000 insansız insansız hava aracından oluşan bir filoya yatırım yaptığını ve 2028'de faaliyete geçeceğini bildirdi. AP, Edwards Hava Kuvvetleri Üssü'ndeki pilotların yapay zeka destekli araçların yakında onların yerini alabileceğini bildiklerini bildirirken, yayın kuruluşu, ABD'nin kendi otonom filosuna sahip olmaması durumunda havacıların yapay zeka yeteneklerine sahip bir düşmanla karşı karşıya gelmekten nefret ettiğini belirtti. .
