US Air Force demonstrates AI-led intercept of airborne targets with X-62

The US Air Force recently demonstrated the ability of an AI agent to direct the interception of an airborne threat using the X-62 test aircraft. During this experiment, the AI agent successfully interpreted infrared sensor data in real time. This capability represents a significant expansion of artificial intelligence applications within aviation programs. Specifically, the AI directed the X-62 towards its target, showcasing advanced autonomous control systems. Further development is ongoing as the Air Force continues to integrate AI into various aspects of flight operations.
