MACHINE BEATS PILOT 5 TO 0: the best AI of the Top Gun
DARPA, the defense agency for advanced technology projects, has announced that, for the first time, an AI has beaten an experienced aviation pilot 5-0 in a series of simulated duels on an F-16 . The rules were strictly dog-fighting, ie close combat, and a fight was simulated only with the cannon, without the use of air-to-air missiles. The result, as we said, was astounding, with 5 AI victories. Here an explanatory video:
The winning AI was selected through a tough competition led by DARPA which saw the winner of a small Maryland company, Heron, owned by women. All of this is part of DARPA's Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program born to enrich the way human and machine pilots share operational control of a fighter jet to maximize its chances of mission success. The overall concept of ACE aims to allow the pilot to go “from single platform operator to mission commander” in charge not only of piloting his own aircraft, but of managing teams of slave drones of his own fighter jet. "ACE aims to provide a capability that allows a pilot to participate in a larger and more global air command mission while their teamed unmanned aircraft and systems are engaged in individual tactics, so the ACE program will allow the development of future fighters. which will operate in collaboration with drones, a bit like we saw in the movie “Stealth”.
