WASHINGTON, (BM) – A team of scientists at Johns Hopkins University in the United States has successfully tested artificial intelligence involved in an aerial battle with an F-15 fighter, learned BulgarianMilitary.com, quoting MKRU and online edition N+1.

Physicists have created special neural network algorithms for opposing a virtual model of an airplane. The event was held as part of a competition to develop a special program with subsequent use in combat conditions.

The winner of the competition will have the right to develop an artificial intelligence system that can independently conduct air combat, controlling fighters or combat drones, the online edition N + 1 reports.

Neural network algorithms were tested in the FlightGear flight simulator, using the JSBSim flight dynamics software model and the F-15C Eagle fighter model. The battles between the algorithms were waged one on one at a relatively low complexity.

The following tests will be greatly complicated. It is envisaged that various teams will participate in virtual fights, developing programs for conducting air combat using artificial intelligence.

Recall that we wrote earlier that scientists of the New York Mount Sinai Health System studied the origin of autism. When analyzing patient DNA samples, they identified 37 new genes that could cause the development of this behavioral disorder.
