The U.S. Air Force recently demonstrated a major leap in human-machine teaming, flying autonomous collaborative platforms (ACPs), alongside crewed fighter aircraft during a training event at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Pilots operating an F-16C Fighting Falcon and an F-15E Strike Eagle each controlled two XQ-58A Valkyrie aircraft in an air combat training scenario, showcasing real-time integration between manned and semi-autonomous systems.
