Now the People's Liberation Army has been equipped with a large number of J-20 stealth fighters, judging from the data released by the West, it has established an absolute advantage in the Asia-Pacific region, for which the US Pentagon has been quite worried. A few days ago, the U.S. Air Force showed a high-profile new combat mode under development, that is, the use of existing fighter jets to increase the artificial intelligence combat system, during which there have been high-level U.S. military participation in the challenge, according to the information released by the U.S. media, as the U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall personally took a test ride on the artificial intelligence combat aircraft platform under development, and participated in the exercise of simulated air combat. At present, the U.S. Air Force uses the F-16C/D fighter as an artificial intelligence development platform, because the F-16C/D is the most equipped model in the U.S. Air Force.
The F-16 was developed in the 70s of the last century, and after entering the 21st century, the American Lockheed Martin Corporation is still building the F-16 fighter, and the so-called Bullock 70 batch model has been developed on the basis of the F-16C/D. Judging from the public information, the F-16V has changed a lot in avionics technology, including the use of an active phased array radar system, although the United States has developed the F-16V fighter, but the United States Air Force has not purchased the corresponding model, the United States Air Force only uses the F-16C / D fighter, because the United States Air Force plans to purchase the F-35A to replace the old F-16C / D.
Judging from the fact that the United States has tested artificial intelligence through F-16C/D fighter jets, the United States is taking a big gamble and trying to respond to the rapid increase in the PLA's air power through new technologies. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is equipped with a large number of J-20 fighters, which makes the generation advantage established by the US Air Force through the F-22A and F-35A no longer exist, so it has a great impact on the strategy of the US Pentagon. Nowadays, the U.S. Air Force is equipped with F-35A Lightning II fighters in large numbers, but because the Pentagon is trying to control the cost of F-35 fighters, the F-35 fighters can no longer hold their heads up in front of the PLA's J-20 fighters. For the weak position of the F-35 fighter, the US Air Force put forward the need for artificial intelligence operations, for which there is research on related technologies.
Judging from the artificial intelligence improvement platform of the US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall aboard the F-16C/D fighter jet, the US Pentagon is trying to establish the so-called "first strike first" dominant position in public opinion. According to the information released by the Pentagon, during the testing of the artificial intelligence combat system, the pilots did not intervene in the fighter, so it reflects that the relevant system already has a certain combat capability. This time, the US Air Force is quite high-profile, and the US Air Force Secretary does not have the ability to fly fighter jets, but directly conducted a test ride, which is a move by the United States to deliberately exaggerate the safety of relevant systems.
At a time when the technical base of the F-35A fighter of the US Air Force is insufficient, it has tried to reverse the situation through a new combat mode, in fact, the PLA will not sit idly by when the United States promotes the artificial intelligence operation of fighters. China already has a two-seat J-20 fighter platform, obviously this is an improvement action to meet the needs of future operations, through a two-seat setting, the J-20 fighter will also be able to implement a variety of platforms with the combat mode, including the cooperation with UAVs, obviously the PLA will not be without development in the field of artificial intelligence operations, so the US Air Force Secretary experience artificial intelligence operations, just the United States to give itself courage.
