Lockheed Martin Skunk Works and the US Air Force Test Pilot School (TPS) have demonstrated how onboard sensors and AI can complement each other to execute aerial intercepts during a series of flight tests.
The test featured the X-62 Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft (VISTA) equipped with Lockheed’s Legion Pod sensor, while a T-38 aircraft served as the live target.
The sensor streamed targeting data directly to an AI agent, which autonomously maneuvered the fighter into a tactical intercept position.
