Huntsville, Ala., May 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 6, 2020 - Dynetics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos (LDOS), has been awarded Phase 1 of the Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program, Technical Area 3 (TA3), by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office (STO). ACE TA3, also known as Alpha Mosaic, is valued at $12.3 million.
The ACE program is using aerial dogfighting as the initial challenge scenario for implementing artificial intelligence (AI) into high-intensity air conflicts, which intends to increase warfighter trust in combat autonomy. Similar to how the United States military trains fighter pilots, ACE performers will work to increase trust in automated, within-visual-range, air-to-air dogfighting. As algorithms and tactics mature, so will the scenarios and adversarial capabilities.
During the 18-month Phase 1 award, Dynetics will leverage program advances in automated dogfighting to enable operational-level scenarios with a large number of heterogeneous aircraft. By improving the algorithms and tactics developed within ACE, TA3 will lay the groundwork for future live, campaign-level experimentation of manned and unmanned vehicles.

Correct, human pilots cannot withstand the G’s that some machines do. But the human mind is more powerful than a machine. It forgets, machines generally don’t. But the mind can do things that programming cannot. Machines do not “think”. They are programmed. The mind has an element of creativity.
But the mind can do things that programming cannot”
No doubt. Top guns will remain human for the foreseeable future.
Not if Indians code it.
Good point... It may not work, but it doesn't cost very much...
