Lockheed Martin, and the United States Air Force, are currently developing an AI-powered F-16 variant called the VISTA X-62A.
Block 30 Peace Marble II with Block 40 avionics installed. It was first called the NF-16D, but in June 2021, the US government declared it a national asset and changed its name to the X-62A.
The VISTA X-62A has extremely cutting-edge capabilities inside its stressed aluminum alloy skin. Calspan's "VISTA Simulation System" and Lockheed Martin's "Model Following Algorithm" , and "System for Autonomous Control of the Simulation" are two of the most notable. Together, they give the plane new features that turn it into a system that can fly itself and a place to test artificial intelligence. The "Enterprise Mission Computer" version 2 , also known as the "Einstein Box," which is meant to let older systems link together for sharing of data across all domains, is managed by the Skunk Works' "Enterprise-wide Open Systems Architecture" on the SACS system.
Lockheed says that the Vista X-62A has better features and can also make quick software changes for rapid prototyping, which speeds up development and lets more test flights happen."VISTA will allow us to parallelize the development and test of cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques with new uncrewed vehicle designs," explained Dr. M. Christopher Cotting, US. Air Force Test Pilot School director of research.
