Artificial intelligence pilot wins Colonel Air Force in a fighter simulation of unmanned fighter planes

Amidst Google's artificial intelligence "AlphaGo" winning the professional shogi player Lee Se-dul Kuzue, while it is said that the day when artificial intelligence replaces human occupation is near, the artificial intelligence for fighter aircraft developed in the United States "ALPHA"In the battle simulation using an unmanned fighter plane, I defeated the former US Air Force colonel.

The artificial intelligence "ALPHA" developed by a company named Psibernetix founded by Mr. Nick Ernest who finished a doctoral course in aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati was replaced by Jane Lee of former US Air Force Colonel We simulated battle of unmanned fighter aircraft against artificial intelligence, and won a brilliant victory.

The battle simulation was divided into a blue team which followed two fighters and a red team which fought a blue team with four fighters, and the artificial intelligence ALPHA was responsible for manipulating the fighter of the red team. One of the blue team was responsible for maneuvering by Mr. Lee and another artificial intelligence developed by the US Air Force Research Institute.


In the battle simulation, Lee seems to have been shot down by ALPHA even if I tried it many times. Mr. Lee boarded hundreds of fighter planes during the US Air Force era and repeatedly experienced battle simulation against fighter aircraft control program, experienced veteran pilot. However, after the battle with ALPHA, we acknowledged the defeat, "ALPHA's ability to detect risks and responses were amazing levels, it seemed like I was aware of this intention and I immediately responded to my maneuver change It seems like it was doing, and ALPHA had switched between attack and defense as necessary, "leaving a comment to praise ALPHA.

According to Mr. Lee, a fighter operated by artificial intelligence and programs is difficult to follow the actual battle level speed, and it seems that ALPHA will be shot down often against the experienced pilot, Mr. Li felt it was superior to conventional artificial intelligence for fighter aircraft by shooting down Mr. Lee many times, not being shot down by Mr. Lee.

ALPHA of artificial intelligence who won the human opponent,Fuzzy logicIt is a genetic fuzzy tree which is a kind of algorithm of the behavior based on the decision making system. This decision-making system adopts an algorithm that can respond to ambiguous commands such as "please go 1 meter to the right" rather than a specific instruction, "just a little more to the right" "keep the altitude very high" It seems that you can demonstrate the same level of problem solving skills as humans in fighter aerial battles.

Moreover, the speed of making decisions is frighteningly fast, and in this simulation it was deciding how the four unmanned fighters will fly in a time of 1 millisecond shorter than the blink. Also, ALPHA is operating on a desktop PC which was assembled with only 500 dollars (about 51,000 yen), and it is an inexpensive single board computerRaspberry PiIt is also worth noting that it can operate even on the above, and it can show cheap and high level performance.

Mr. Ernest of Psibernetix, who is developing ALPHA, said: "Our goal is to further develop ALPHA, expand its capabilities and win veteran pilots other than Mr. Lee."
