The USAF is working on several interesting AI solutions for unmanned aircraft from dogfighting to navigation to stay ahead of China.

While the gauntlet has not been officially thrown down by China or the US, officials are convinced the race is on to master military AI.Following a recent dogfight between an artificial intelligence piloted F-16 and a regular piloted one, the United States Air Force has reaffirmed its commitment to stay ahead of potential competitors, like China, in this field.

The dogfighting AI is currently trained using a combination of machine learning and autonomy. Rules are set offline, uploaded to the aircraft, tested, and dumped at the mission’s end. The machine learning loop then repeatsApart from basic flight and combat, the military is also developing an AI-based alternative to satellite-dependent GPS navigation.

Additionally, it could make it harder for the US military to coordinate a response, affecting the effectiveness of its fleet of aircraft and warships. Throughout the flights and extensive data analysis, the AI learned to distinguish between signals to disregard and those to follow, and the results “were very, very impressive,” Floyd said. “We’re talking tactical airdrop quality,” he said.
