The announced program will form part of the larger $6 billion Collaborative Combat Aircraft project.
The United States Pentagon has announced its intention to fund the development of a fleet of artificial intelligence-piloted (AI-piloted) aircraft. The contract has gone out to tender with the plan to contract two private contractors to develop the craft.
Called the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) project, it will form part of a larger $6 billion program to see at least 1,000 new drones join the United States Air Force (USAF) ranks. The AI-piloted drones will fly alongside human pilots and help provide cover, escort, fire support, and scouting roles.
