The tighter flying, without having to worry about killing the pilot/crew with too many g's, will really expand the ability over drones of manned fliers.
In my opinion, it is inevitable and should be a USA strategic goal now. Sorry to all you hairy-chested, silk scarf-wearing knights of the sky! I'm looking at you, General McPeak and your v-neck t-shirts!
Kind of reminds me of the movie Green Lantern.
I have seen a crappy movie about this...it does not end well.
Terminator Meets Top Gun
How long before the Chcoms get their Wuhan picking fingers on this technology?
I think this was the plot of the movie “Stealth” as well...
Wonder if it can ball walk in a flight suit
Having served in the Air Force I can tell you that this has the pucker factor of every AF Pilot at 10+. They have put it off for as long as they can but it is really inevitable. The manned combat aircraft will eventually give way to the unmanned fighter aircraft. The human factor is the limiting factor in aircraft design. Without the human, the aircraft can pull much higher Gs, fly faster, and higher. The Pilot fraternity in the AF is strong and proud but sooner or later it will come to an end.
Will happen but will HAL Open The Pod Bay Door?
Ha...how will it do up against the Thach Weave tactic.

What if the Machine decides to ram the other plane that it is unable to shoot down? Hmmm...
Finally Tom Cruise can retire.
Yes. The drone should not be constrained by the human limitations built into current airframes.
Take out all the life support and human G-limited support. Make the planes smaller because they do not need cockpits, ejection systems, oxygen.
Without those constraints and a failure level 100 times more acceptable (because no human lives at risk) The drones cost 1/10 as much, and we can afford ten times as many, for the same costs....
Drones will inevitably replace human pilots. Far cheaper and far more capable. The future of warfare is going to be robots.
Gen. Buck Turgidson would not approve
Our pilots will be fewer in number and fly in the company of dozens of machines.
Objectives will be determined by humans.
The rest of it will be handled by the machines.
The F-35 was designed as one of the control pods. And only one will be needed per squadron of $10mil drones.
The F-35 is the last manned fighter the US will produce for a very long time.
Cylons vs. the 12 Colonies didn’t work out so well. Just sayin’.
Fitting a conventional fighter with AI is hardly a big advance. Build a plane that no human could fly and maneuver then you would have something.
The tide has turned. It used to be they used drones for target practice, now humans will be used for drones to practice upon.
