  • Looking like something out of cult TV show Thunderbirds, the advanced XQ-58A Valkyrie is a leap forward for developing AI and air power.
    The high-speed and low-cost Valkyrie unmanned drone has been operational since 2019, and today can act as a wingman to military pilots undertaking a variety of missions.
    The US government wants to substantially expand the role of autonomous jets, using so-called collaborative combat aircraft to support crewed fighters.

    Australia MQ28A Ghost bat been testing crewed and uncrewed since 2021 and just anounced by Australian Defense minister is acceleration of block ii version a top secret never seen before model that is bigger and carries weapons will be in service with RAAF 2025.. that means fully operational in RAAF, not just testing and lines up with RAAF Commander interview 3 years ago stating the version we saw was just a test bed for the AI and airframe would hold up in real life flight conditions..
    Ghost bat designed and engineered by Aussies with Australian AI. drone swarm capabilities also.

    These drones would make the perfect close air defence on the battlefields of the future.
    Imagine for each 10Km of the front line, there will be one small runway with a sqadrone of these drones, in combination with one arrow 3 starter, one iron dome battery and some Phalanx C-RAM or Mantis stations.
    Nothing what flies in the air could pass through that air defence.

    Uhhhhhh, I don't know about this as a wing man... Maybe as a flying bomb delivery agent. AI is not intelligent. It is simply a collection of instructions and it is only as good as those instructions. The problem is that humans are innovative. When presented with a new problem, we poke and prod- and find the weak spot. Not only that, in modern combat a wing man is supposed to fly on the senior pilots wing. He's there to keep his head on a swivel, aware of the battle space while his senior focuses on the target. AI can't do that and may respond in radically unpredictable ways to new situations. Don't expect AI wing men anytime soon.
    And remember that no computer, regardless of how great the software is, thinks. To compare it to human thought, much less animal thought, is ridiculous. "Artificial Intelligence" is just a snappy marketing term. AI will greatly change the world, but it won't replace humans anytime soon- especially where adaptability is needed. In warfare, the one who adapts better usually wins. I mean look at Ukraine. Here you have a country fighting for its life against a much larger foe. But Ukraine has adapted new technologies- and stopped Russia in its tracks.
    The scary part of AI is what people might do with it. I don't speak of slaughter bots like in Terminator. But governments are embracing AI to do all sorts of things detrimental to freedom. AI itself is neutral. Right now, everything I just wrote is being analyzed by an AI program- and added to my profile.
    That's truly frightening.

      This is probably one of the best use case scenario's of AI. Not trying to invent or imagine, just crunch huge amounts of flight data in an instant. I have zero doubt the gov't has much more advanced "targeted" AI programs than the commercial stuff.

      @@notme9976 Indeed. Worked in the defense industry as IT. There are things you can't imagine- stuff from the 1950's is still in use. It's amazing what a simple radio antenna can be used for.
      And AI will and indeed has changed the nature of warfare. While it will definitely enhance the human presence on the battlefield, it will never replace it.
      The use of an "AI wing man" will certainly be implemented as a missile or weapon carrying platform. But replacing a pilot? Never.
      All you have to do is try something the AI is not programed for- and it won't know how to react. But if it is following a pilot next to it, it could be very useful indeed.
      But as I mentioned before, AI is not intelligent. It does not think even at the level of an animal, much less a man. It does not think at all. And until someone invents a computer that acts like a brain, sort of like Data from Star Trek, there will be no artificially intelligent machines.
      But the real threat lies in what corporations and governments can do with it- aye, there's the rub. CZcams is filled with fake AIs saying they want to kill us. Wrong, it is the corporations and governments of the world that want to control us. Killer I is just a distraction to prevent people from realizing what AI really is and can be used for.
