These goofballs can’t even put together a passenger plane that doesn’t fall apart.

I recall reading a sci fi story many many years ago that touted “manned missiles” as just the thing to evade missile defence systems. They could jig and jag and dodge like no one else to avoid anti-missile systems. Left unexplained was how these kamikaze pilots could withstand g-forces inside a missile and live to reach targets.

By the time the AF design committee gets done negotiating, it will be the size of the F35 and need a pilot

[HYPOCRACY]

We need to take away weapons from the government. All they do is waste them on shithole wars or use them against lawful citizens.

Starve these pigs.

WTF??

...flying one or two missions before being retired or destroyed, making them cheaper than manned aircraft.
...so-called “attritable” drones
...low-cost design

The Pentagon has a hard time grasping "low-cost." A $10 million - $20 million throw-away drone?? Of course, when it is fielded, the fly-away price will be $50 million per copy and they will order 1/10 of what they original thought.

These morons really think AI is GREAT ,LOL

[ProtectOurFreedom]

This sounds like the "Loyal Wingman" program. I wonder why that isn't mentioned.

[Red6]

Inevitable and probably delayed because of politics and fear.

[I want the USA back]

“Self-driving” cars are not a reality yet. I wonder why they think there can be successful “self-flying” planes.

Humans are not perfect, but humans can quickly adapt to never-encountered situations much better than a machine.

Do they really think some computer code can beat an Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine pilot?

[exPBRrat]

A good idea but a more immediate concern is an affordable anti-drone response.

[Rockingham]

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.

[Yo-Yo]

They can't even get all the sensor-fusion software for the F-35 written. There's tons of promised sensor fusion features that aren't available in the F-35 yet.

And these clowns think that they can write software to fully control an unmanned loyal wingman in combat?

[Redleg Duke]

Sounds like Austin and other Government Pukes are looking to launder some money.

[Navy Patriot]

Pentagon wants 1000s of AI-piloted fighter jets to support human pilots

I wonder how AI is on ethics, war crimes and obeying illegal or conflicting orders?

[Starboard]

The announced program will form part of the larger $6 billion Collaborative Combat Aircraft project.

**************

More like $60 billion.

[xoxox]

I’m sure it will all work just fine.
