I don’t think AI will replace a combat pilot anytime soon. Probably not as long as I live (am 72, smile).

Probably not in the next 50 years. May be NEVER.

within-visual-range, air-to-air dogfighting.

Oh, that ended discussion. Fighter pilots seldom ever see their advisary in today's world.

[RomanSoldier19]

yes but no

I just glanced at the headline and thought L. Ron Hubbard just got a government contract!?! ;-)

Gotta look closer!

[Yo-Yo]

Dynetics? Is the parent company Cyberdine Systems?

You’re not the only one, LOL!

[higgmeister]

I was going to say, at least it isn’t Cyberdyne.

What is interesting to think about that it has been true for awhile that fighter jets could be designed and made that could exceed the tolerance of human pilots -g-force etc. So one could almost say that having human pilots actually limit design parameters in some scenarios.

[Texas Fossil]

Good point. But I am looking at the much simpler task of building a self-driving car and that is a total joke. Although much of the public think it is really happening.

They are out there in some ares being tested. I never though they could be used with existing roads but they have made good progress there. Where I do see it happening is long distance trucking. Program the destination send them off, no bathroom stop, no food stop, no exhausted or worse hungover driver. In fact I think that is already being done.

I am not so sure that it is a simpler task. The main purpose of a self-driving car is to move the occupant from his origin to the destination of his choosing. The purpose of a fighter plane is to shoot down enemy planes and other airborne targets. If you don't have to worry about the safety of the occupant, it could be easier. If, instead of building a self-driving car you simply had to have a car controlled by remote with a human viewing the same camera angles as a regular driver with similar controls, combined with tactile and auditory feedback, it would be comparatively trivial (until you go in a tel and lose your radio connectivity).

Never teach machines the best way to kill humans. I will not end well.

As to dogfighting, a plane without a human inside can pull more G’s. I know, BVR missles, so what happens when you splash 8 killer drones, are Winchester and still have another 4 drones heading your way?

Like I said, don’t teach machines how to kill humans.

“Wonder weapons?” My God, I don’t see the wonder in them. Killing without heroics. Nothing is glorified? Nothing is reaffirmed? No heroes, no cowards, no troops, no generals. Only those who are left alive and those who are left... dead. Glad I won’t live to see it.” - General Patton

Great! How long before we give all the data to China?

[SuperLuminal]

Dynetics first act in preparation will be to hire as many chicom engineers, physicists, and H1B programmers as they can find...

Two weeks after the preliminary U.S. Air Force testing starts, the chicoms will demonstrate that their copy is fully operational...

[Texas Fossil]

Neither one will be functional soon.

AI is a bad joke.

Sure, you can monitor everything today. But the fixed data is so bad, the idea of dynamic data being correct via satellite is much less likely.

[Texas Fossil]

Out there, “being tested”.

Yep. But NOT functional. Won’t be soon. Many people think and say it is already there. It is NOT.
