The flight followed two years of work and a partnership with Skyborg Vanguard, a team made up of personnel from the lab and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center with the intent of creating unmanned fighter aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis sortie officially enables the ability to develop [artificial intelligence and machine learning] agents that will execute modern air-to-air and air-to-surface skills that are immediately transferrable to the CCA program,\u201d said Col. Tucker Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the Air Force. The CCA program, or collaborative combat aircraft, was designed to create combat drones that can operate with piloted aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lab\u2019s Autonomous Air Combat Operations team created algorithms for the flight that took millions of hours to mature in simulations, during sorties with the X-62 VISTA experimental aircraft, while working with the XQ-58A, and during ground test operations, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2022\/02\/13\/how-autonomous-wingmen-will-help-fighter-pilots-in-the-next-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">Previous flights<\/a> of the XQ-58A Valkyrie have supported the Air Force\u2019s effort into loyal wingmen research. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2022\/07\/18\/valkyrie-success-may-push-skyborg-drone-concept-to-other-programs-kratos-herro-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kratos<\/a> Defense and Security Solutions produces the drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force Research Lab is the service\u2019s primary scientific research and development center responsible for the discovery, development and integration of cost-effective warfighting technologies for the country\u2019s air, space and cyberspace forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAI will be a critical element to future warfighting and the speed at which we\u2019re going to have to understand the operational picture and make decisions,\u201d Brig. Gen. Scott Cain, the lab\u2019s commander, said in the announcement. \u201cAI, Autonomous Operations, and Human-Machine Teaming continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace and we need the coordinated efforts of our government, academia, and industry partners to keep pace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Autonomous Air Combat Operations team created algorithms for the
