Navy's 'Top Gun' pilots could rely on AI to assist with dangerous aspects of flight if they face off with China. New tools are the perfect wingman for carrier pilots.
Move over, Maverick. AI software can land a plane on a carrier deck better than you. Over 5,000 men and women crew each of America’s 11 aircraft carriers, but the U.S. Navy’s counting on AI to help them fight China. AI will bring carrier planes in for landings, fly unmanned tankers with fuel for combat planes, and even analyze the bug juice in the chow line. Night carrier landings are dangerous feats of combat aviation.
'If we have trust in autonomy, we can then make the move to truly artificial intelligence and in the future of the air wing,' says Rear Admiral Steven Tedford, who runs unmanned programs and systems development for the Navy at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland. Already the Navy’s big MQ-25 Stingray drone has proven it can refuel other carrier aircraft and enhance satellite communications and reconnaissance for the aircraft carrier strike group.
