The U.S. Pentagon has announced a significant investment in artificial intelligence for military applications, committing $6 billion to a program aimed at developing AI-piloted 'ghost' fighter jets. This initiative, known as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) project, plans to introduce at least 1,000 of these advanced aircraft into the U.S. Air Force's fleet over the next 5 to 10 years. These robotic jets, capable of flying at speeds of up to 600mph and as low as 30ft above ground, are designed for 'tactical early warning' and are part of a broader strategy to enhance the U.S. military's capabilities in the face of growing global challenges, including Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific region. The program involves top defense contractors such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Atomics, and Anduril Industries, highlighting the Pentagon's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology in its operations.
