First on Fox: For the first time, American fighter pilots took direction from the AI ”Air Battle Manager” in a Pentagon test, which can change how wars are fought in wars.
The Air Force and the Navy conducted the August test using the RAFT AI’s stars of RAFT AI on F -16S, F/A -18S and F -35S using RAFT AI’s stars testing system during a joint military exercise designed to evaluate new weapons systems, advanced communication and war management platforms, Fox News Digital, Fox News Digital has learned.
In a specific fighter mission, fighter pilots communicate with human air war managers on the ground. These managers monitor radar, sensor feed and intelligence, where pilots fly straight and how to keep their aircraft in position.
“We have seen our enemies not testing any kind of technology, so I think it’s groundbreaking,” AI CEO Shubhi Mishra told Fox News Digital in an interview.

He said that the stars accelerated the response time and improved accuracy, allowing pilots to take decisions that have been taken in minutes in a few seconds. “In the case of the air battle manager, this is not a one-to-one ratio: an air battle manager is helping several pilots,” Mishra explained. “The autonomous agent we manufactured are one-to-one, on the bakes and calls of each pilot.”
Air Battle Manager Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) works to some extent like air traffic controllers, making sure that the aircraft do not collide and remain within the safe air corridors. Mishra argued that earlier this year, Ronald Reagan could also stop a collision between a regional airlineer and a black hawk helicopter near the National Airport.
“If the FAA had this technique, it would never have happened,” he said. “It is just data, and then execution on data.” An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the pilots of Black Hawk never heard the command to pass the back [commercial regional jet]”Because the transmission was stepped up. The airline pilots were not warned that there was a helicopter nearby.

During the test, fighter pilots checked with stars, confirming that they were on track with the mission plan. The stars cross-referred their report with their simulated sensor feed and day air tasking order, then announced that the minimum force package was completed, indicating that the required number of aircraft was aerial and ready. Behind the curtain, AI prepared the mission commander and other command-end-control agencies to update digitally.

Later in the scenario, when the pilots requested an assessment of a danger, the stars analyzed their feed and released that the “picture call” is known as a snapshot of enemies’ aircraft structures. In this case, the stars identified a single heavy group of five opposing aircraft, for the first time an AI system has provided real -time strategic awareness in the air battle space.

Defense aviation leaders argue as development, how long humans will remain in the cockpit of fighter aircraft, and future generations of pentagon fighter jets will eventually need. For an AI specialist like Mishra, “If it is a decision of life-or-death, then man should always be in a loop.”
“But in the context of technology being able to do so, I think it is already here,” he said. “The question is, do we give it?”
