BAE Systems' FAST Labs has secured a $4 million contract from DARPA's AIR program to enhance air combat autonomy. The focus is on developing machine learning-based simulation models for sensors, weapons, and electronic warfare systems. This initiative aims to ensure that AI pilots can make reliable and dynamic decisions in combat scenarios.
The contract work will take place at BAE Systems' facilities in Virginia and Massachusetts, emphasizing the importance of vast data and complex testing cycles. The AIR program, initiated by DARPA, is structured into two main areas: model development and multi-agent AI training. Other notable companies involved in the program include Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, highlighting a competitive landscape in military AI advancements.
• BAE Systems awarded $4 million for AI air combat modeling.
• DARPA's AIR program focuses on AI solutions for air combat.
