Combat is too complicated and chaotic for existing AI to analyze, and DARPA is trying to figure out the best way to combine algorithms with human expertise.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.Many of the technology challenges facing the Space Force are “fundamental and architectural,” requiring the service to figure out how “to get these new, rapidly evolving ideas into the system in a way that makes sense and it’s not utter chaos,” said Joel Mozer, director of science, technology and research.

By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.Sikorsky’s ALIAS automation will help human pilots fly more safely at low altitude and high speeds and in poor visibility. Modified UH-60s will test out the technology for next-gen Future Vertical Lift.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.The Army will soon hold live-fire tests of an AI that can algorithmically spot targets and aim at them — but a human still has to pull the trigger. Will ATLAS let future tanks fight better with smaller crews?
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville and other top Army pilots say these new technologies, tactics, & training will keep aircraft alive against high-tech foes like Russia and China.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.DARPA used the collaborative to find and contract the industry competitors in the AlphaDogfight which resulted in an AI ‘pilot’ built by Heron Systems beat a top Air Force F-16 pilot in a simulated WWII-style aerial battle.
By Theresa Hitchens“Before AI can find its place, really, in the cockpit in a formation, it kind of has to earn its wings first,” DARPA Deputy Director David Honey says.
By Theresa HitchensThe popular game offers an arena for AI to practice working with humans in an environment where there’s no real-world risk of casualties.
By Kelsey AthertonA single F-35 could have a flock of “loyal wingman” drones to carry weapons, jam radars, and if need be take a hit and die to save their human commander.
By Colin ClarkWASHINGTON: North Korea has cut the warning time America has to a “dozen minutes or so” before an ICBM launch because of the mobile launch trucks it’s using, according to the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. “We may have gone from tens of minutes to up to an hour (previously) to a dozen minutes…
