The research agency says this will free combat pilots to become mission battle commanders.
“We envision a future in which AI handles the split-second maneuvering during within-visual-range dogfights, keeping pilots safer and more effective as they orchestrate large numbers of unmanned systems into a web of overwhelming combat effects,” said U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Dan Javorsek (Ph.D.), ACE program manager in DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office (STO).
DARPA will hold a Proposers Day for interested researchers on May 17, 2019, in Arlington, Virginia.
