The X-62 VISTA platform demonstrated the ability of AI agents to process data from infrared sensors in real time, directing the X-62 to autonomously intercept an aerial target in real time. During eight flights, 27 interceptions were conducted under AI control.
Consensus
- The X-62A aircraft, a modified version of the F-16, was used in tests involving artificial intelligence.
- During the tests, the X-62A autonomously detected and tracked other aircraft in flight.
- The aircraft used real-time data from infrared sensors to perform autonomous intercepts.
- A total of 27 intercepts were completed over eight flight missions.
- The tests were conducted at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
- The infrared targeting system used was the Lockheed Martin Legion Pod.
