Navy ‘Top Gun’ pilots using AI as wingmen

Published on November 25, 2023

U.S. Navy “Top Gun” pilots can use artificial intelligence software to help land carrier planes on U.S. aircraft carriers. According to Rebecca Grant, president of IRIS Independent Research, the U.S. Navy is anticipating using artificial intelligence to help the 5,000 men and women on America’s 11 aircraft carriers in the event of a future conflict with China, Fox News reported.

Grant noted that artificial intelligence is expected to help carrier planes with difficult landings and fly unmanned fuel tankers for combat planes. Grant referenced the “Top Gun” movies that feature Tom Cruise portraying Maverick, a Navy pilot, landing an F/A-18EF Superhornet on an aircraft carrier. According to Grant, the Navy has discovered that artificial intelligence is able to help carrier planes with difficult landing maneuvers through a software program called Precision Landing Mode.
