Anduril CEO unveils the Fury unmanned fighter jet



"Anduril co-founder and CEO Brian Schrimpf gave 60 Minutes an up-close look at Fury, an unmanned fighter jet powered by artificial intelligence that could become a Collaborative Combat Aircraft for the U.S. Air Force."

Palmer Luckey, military tech, and AI. That's not a scary combo, right?

the guy reminds me of the traitor tech dude from Golden Eye. as for the actual jet, it looks cool but I want to know how's it's capabilities in real world scenarios. also, the whole "one guy controlling all the ships" thing does not sound like it's a better way to go about it. I still want someone with experience to make the human decisions if need to.
 
We need to keep up technologically and the legacy aerospace defense companies aren't positioned well to continue doing so long term. It's good that Palmer stepped up to disrupt the industry and focus on next gen unmanned tech.
 
I assume this is a Pentagon backed venture and the technology is supposed to stay within the States?


wasn't there a movie about this like just a few years ago

Stealth? but 2005 is more than a few years thou, so you might have another movie in mind.

I'm sure seasoned military personnel will fall for the start up pitch from Patagonia-wearing tech bro.
 
Now they can do it for real.

Article:
"We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM [surface-to-air missile] threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat," he said.

"The system started realising that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective."

No real person was harmed.

Originally developed by Blue Force Technologies under the name "Grackle," the design evolved into "Fury" following Anduril's acquisition of the company in 2023.

This guy is exactly the type of facist jello biafra warned us about.
 
If you do not do this you will not maintain military superiority. A swarm of $5000 drones will take out manned jets easily. Unmanned battlefield is the future. Personally I would never give fire control to the machine. But I am sure we will do machine based AI fire control.
 
Gentlemen, you are the top 1% of all naval aviators. The elite, best of the best. We'll make you redundant.

This might sound like sarcasm, but this isn't concerning at all. I'm sure there is a lot more going on, but this is just how reinforcement learning works. Then the parameters get adjusted and it doesn't kill the pilot anymore.
