Artificial Intelligence Reshapes Military Aviation
The development of uncrewed combat aircraft is changing the face of military aviation, with the US testing prototypes and the UK, Italy, and Japan working on a next-generation fighter that can work with uncrewed aircraft. Artificial intelligence and autonomous flight technology are making it possible for aircraft to fly without pilots, which could reduce human casualties and allow for more aircraft deployment. The US Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft programme is developing two uncrewed jet prototypes, while the UK’s Global Combat Air Programme aims to bring a next-generation combat aircraft into service from 2035.
