An AI-run fighter jet went up against another controlled by a human pilot in a drill, the US has said. The aircraft flew at up to speeds of 1,200mph during combat that's often referred to as a dogfight.
The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.
Ideally they’d build a vehicle capable of being able to move at rates the human body can’t handle, then train it on that, giving it both a hardware and software advantage.
Is a plane even the best form factor if it’s not limited by human physiology? I imagine an agile missile with smaller missiles attached to it would be better.

Manufacturing costs will probably determine whether it carries missiles, or is a missile.
That’s likely the plan, but they have to start with known-working hardware configurations first.
