Indian Defence Firm Develops Autonomous Fighter Jet Alternative
Flying Wedge Defence & Aerospace has unveiled a full-scale static prototype of its AI-piloted fighter aircraft programme, FWD Supreme, in New Delhi. The company claims that autonomous aircraft of this kind could change both the strategy of aerial warfare and the cost of defence operations. According to Suhas Tejaskanda, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flying Wedge, the AI-powered aircraft could cost 20-30 times less than conventional fighter jets.
