A DARPA Air Combat Evolution (ACE) AI model took part in a dogfight with a human-piloted fighter jet using the experimental X-62 VISTA test aircraft, which is derived from the F-16D Fighting Falcon.

The ACE AI program, begun in 2019, represents a significant milestone in aerospace history and establishes a foundation for ethical, trusted human-machine teaming for complex military and civilian applications. The AI model’s control of the X-62 VISTA test aircraft extends to all autonomous combat maneuvers, and not to dogfights only.
