Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® and University of Iowa Successfully Demonstrate Artificial Intelligence-Commanded MissionIOWA CITY, Iowa, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), in conjunction with the University of Iowa's Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL), completed an artificial intelligence (AI) demonstration using two piloted L-29 aircraft (acting as surrogates for uncrewed systems) performing jamming support in a simulated air-to-ground mission. The L-29s were flown by experienced OPL pilots, following instructions from the AI agents in the form of heading, altitude, and speed cues. The tests successfully demonstrated AI agents can be trusted to deliver high performance and reliable behaviors. By the end of 2023, the Skunk Works and OPL team will test AI in an end-to-end Suppression and Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD/DEAD) mission. SOURCE Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
