Imagine a fighter jet that doesn't sleep, doesn't get tired, doesn't panic, and accumulates a million hours of combat experience in three days. No living pilot can do it that fast. Now imagine: such an aircraft is already flying over Europe.
In May of this year, the first European fighter jet with artificial intelligence on board, the Swedish Gripen E, took to the skies over the Baltic Sea. It was not just a flight: there was an insurance pilot in the cockpit, but he did not even touch the steering wheel. All control was carried out through AI, developed by the German defense startup Helsing.
In a matter of days, this artificial intelligence has pumped more than a million virtual flight hours — such a result is impossible even for the most experienced pilots. This is made possible by powerful computing and real-time simulation of combat situations.
Such technologies can radically change the face of aviation battles. Imagine how AI instantly processes radar data, chooses the best routes, recognizes threats and responds to them faster than a human can figure out. And such aircraft can also be used in conjunction with manned ones — as a "smart cover" or a scout.
This is not a fantasy of the future, but a reality right now. And if development continues at the same pace, then European aviation can reach a new level of defense capability — without unnecessary risks to the lives of pilots.
