research laboratory recently announced
0:20
this groundbreaking achievement which
0:23
took place at the igland test and
0:25
training complex in Florida for the past
0:28
two years the AF RL in partnership with
0:32
the skyborg Vanguard team comprising
0:35
personel from the Air Force research
0:37
laboratory and the Air Force life cycle
0:39
Management Center has been diligently
0:43
working on developing unmanned fighter

1:00
of this effort during the historic test
1:03
flight the xq58a Drone was under
1:07
complete AI Control for approximately 3
1:09
hours this Milestone opens up new
1:12
possibilities in developing AI agents
1:15
capable of executing modern airto a and
1:18
airto surface skills transferable to the
1:21
CCA program also known as collaborative
1:24
combat aircraft the goal of the CCA
1:27
program is to create combat drone that
1:30
can effectively operate alongside human
1:32
piloted F22 and F35 aircraft as loyal
1:37
wingmen providing invaluable support
1:41
searches the autonomous air combat
1:44
operation aaco team at the afrl played a
1:48
pivotal role in this achievement
1:50
dedicating millions of hours to
1:53
perfecting AI algorithms through
1:56
simulations test operations with the x62
2:00
experimental aircraft and working
2:03
directly with the xq58a Drone the
2:07
successful Mission showcased a

multi-layer safety framework for AI AML
2:13
flown unwed aircraft with an AIML agent
2:18
successfully solving a tactically
2:19
relevant challenge problem during
2:23
operations past xq 58 alye flights have
2:28
already contributed to the Air Force
2:30
Research into loyal wingman
2:32
demonstrating the potential of
2:34
completely autonomous aircraft flying
2:37
alongside and supporting human pilots

sorties Brigadier General Scott Kane the
2:45
labs Commander emphasized that AI
2:47
autonomous operations and human machine
2:50
teaming are rapidly evolving elements
2:53
that will play a critical role in future
2:56
War fighting the ability to understand
2:59
the operation picture and make Swift
3:01
decisions will be crucial in the dynamic
3:04
landscape to keep up with these
3:06
developments coordinated efforts between
3:09
government Academia and Industry
3:13
vital Dr Terry Wilson aaco program
3:17
manager highlighted the multi-pronged
3:20
approach taken by aaco in uncrewed
3:23
Flight testing of machine learning AI
3:27
this approach involves leveraging High
3:29
performance Computing modeling and
3:32
simulation and Hardware in the loop
3:35
testing to train AI agents to safely
3:38
operate the xq 58 uncrewed aircraft
3:42
demonstrating the team's commitment to
3:45
advancing AI enabled autonomy
3:49
responsibly the Department of Defense
3:52
places great emphasis on the responsible
3:54
use of AI recognizing the need for
3:57
collaboration between AI Developers
4:00
users and acquisition

interests the successful AI Control
4:15
fright of the xq58a vye Drone represents
4:19
a significant milestone in the
4:21
development of unmaned combat aircraft
4:25
capabilities as the future of War
4:27
fighting continues to evolve AI will
4:30
play a pivotal role in augmenting human
4:33
capabilities making rapid and informed
4:36
