AlphaDogfight Trials Final will be streamed live on YouTube

The final event of Darpa’s AlphaDogfight Trials will be streamed live on YouTube Aug. 21. The winning AI team will go against a U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot.


DARPA’s AlphaDogfight Trials seeks to advance the state of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies applied to air combat operations. The trials are a computer-based competition designed to demonstrate advanced AI algorithms that can perform simulated within-visual-range air combat maneuvering, otherwise known as a dogfight. The goal is to use the dogfight as the challenge problem to increase performance and trust in AI algorithms and bring together the AI research and operator communities.
