AI agents have already flown Gripen fighters. What is known about Saab's experiments with artificial intelligence
Saab used its own AI agents during flight tests: the agent autonomously piloted a Gripen aircraft in BVR combat scenarios.
Saab used its own AI agents during flight tests: the agent autonomously piloted a Gripen aircraft in BVR combat scenarios.
“The Gripen E’s software-defined architecture allows for the integration and use of new artificial intelligence software on a working fighter without the need for specialized experimental platforms,” Saab said in a press release on the occasion.
Saab has developed and trained a family of AI agents that can now support pilots in the cockpit or work alongside pilots on its own unmanned aircraft platform.
“The future of air combat will not be defined by individual platforms, but by networks of manned and unmanned systems working together as a coordinated force,” said Peter Nilsson, Head of Advanced Programs at Saab.
The company has even launched an AI Fighter Pilot Academy, where agents are trained in simulated environments using various aerial combat capabilities.
“By accumulating millions of hours of simulated flight across a wide range of operational scenarios, they can explore tactics and decision-making that go far beyond what any individual pilot might experience in their lifetime,” the company emphasized.
Saab is now continuing to expand the capabilities of its agents and use them in a wider range of scenarios.
Last year, it was reported that Saab may open a factory in Ukraine to assemble Gripen fighters. The Swedish manufacturer of Gripen fighters wanted to locate its facilities in Ukraine, as was reported the year before last.
