Navy finds perfect wingman for carrier pilots – AI

AI software can land a plane on a carrier deck better than you. Over 5,000 men and women crew each of America's 11 aircraft carriers, but the U.S. Navy's counting on AI to help them fight China. AI will bring carrier planes in for landings, fly unmanned tankers with fuel for combat planes, and even analyze the bug juice in the chow line. Night carrier landings are dangerous feats of combat aviation. Americans think of the "Top Gun" movies starring Tom Cruise as Maverick, an intrepid Navy pilot who can land a 32,000-lb.
