SI has moved from simulation to controlling a production fighter in test scenarios; the next step is to verify the agents' reliability across a broader range of flights.
Saab has unveiled a family of in-house SI agents for future aviation systems and confirmed that they have flown on a Gripen E. According to the company, an agent autonomously controlled the aircraft during tests in beyond-visual-range air combat scenarios. The agents are intended to make tactical decisions, assist pilots and operate unmanned platforms alongside crewed aircraft. They are being developed through the AI Fighter Pilot Academy: training takes place in simulations spanning millions of virtual flight hours, and the infrastructure supports new scenarios and platforms. Saab says it controls the entire chain from training and verification to flight testing; computing capacity is provided by Sweden's Sferical AI initiative.
