Fighter pilots take directions from AI in Pentagon's groundbreaking test

FOX News

The Pentagon conducted its first successful tests of Army and Navy fighter jets tactically controlled by AI through Raft's'Starsage' this month. FIRST ON FOX: For the first time, U.S. fighter pilots took direction from an AI "air battle manager" in a Pentagon test that could change how wars are fought in the skies. The Air Force and Navy ran the August test using Raft AI's Starsage tactical control system on F-16s, F/A-18s and F-35s during a joint military exercise designed to evaluate new weapons systems, advanced communications and battle management platforms, Fox News Digital has learned. In a typical combat mission, fighter pilots communicate with human air battle managers on the ground. These managers monitor radar, sensor feeds and intelligence to direct pilots on where to fly and how to position their aircraft.
