So General Atomics and Anduril have confirmed that want the program BUT they are only potential and/or likely bidders.

I recall this concept being discussed in the Reagan era. Now, against China, the key point is to amplify the combat capabilities of manned aircraft in a relatively quick and cheap manner.
And these clowns think that they can write software to fully control an unmanned loyal wingman in combat?
Sounds like Austin and other Government Pukes are looking to launder some money.
I wonder how AI is on ethics, war crimes and obeying illegal or conflicting orders?
The announced program will form part of the larger $6 billion Collaborative Combat Aircraft project.
**************
More like $60 billion.
I’m sure it will all work just fine.
The only way to beat an enormous drone armada is with another drone armada. Applies on the sea, in the air, and on the land.
If you can make them simple and modular, with a price per unit of about $100,000, you can build and deploy so many that you can overwhelm any defenses.

Pentagon wants 1000s of AI-piloted fighter jets.
Hey Moe don’t they already have drones that work.
“Do they really think some computer code can beat an Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine pilot?”
The answer is ‘yes’ based on the tests I’ve seen. In joining up for aerial refueling and landing on carriers, the AI aircraft are definitely better.
The Terminator.
“Do they really think some computer code can beat an Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine pilot?”
The code would only be what was needed to guide a drone equipped with, say, a laser aimed fifty and a thousand rounds to out outmaneuver the piloted craft which is limited by g forces on the pilot.
They better have DEI AI or else!
Playing catch-up with China soon, and who no doubt is making progress on hacking such.
What could possibly go wrong?
“Do they really think some computer code can beat an Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine pilot?”
Easily, because there are essentially no g-force limitations.
I stand corrected.
Breaking news. AI plane decides it doesn’t like America. Fights for the other side.
Wouldn’t surprise me. All the programmers are saying that America is a horrible civilization. AI will declare war on America.
