Lockheed Martin and University of Iowa Demonstrate AI-Enabled Uncrewed Aircraft in Jamming Support Mission

Lockheed Martin and the University of Iowa's Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) demonstrated AI technology with two piloted L-29 aircraft mimicking uncrewed systems, providing jamming support in a simulated air-to-ground mission.

The successful execution of the electronic attack task by AI agents shows how autonomous uncrewed aerial systems can operate in coordination with crewed tactical platforms in future combat operations, creating a powerful, unified team to address complex threats.

This project, named Enhanced Collaborative High-Frequency Orientation System (ECHOS), was sponsored by Lockheed Martin's 21st Century Security Demonstrations & Prototypes (D&P) organization.

The L-29s were flown by experienced OPL pilots, following instructions from the AI agents in the form of heading, altitude, and speed cues. Demonstrating how AI can provide data for rapid decision making and increased mission effectiveness by reducing pilot workload. The pilots maintained the option to stop following AI cues if at any point they felt unsafe, or the agent tried to go outside acceptable operating conditions.

The AI agents were trained using advanced deep multi-agent reinforcement learn.......Read more on our website- https://www.defensemirror.com/news/34971/Lockheed_Martin_and_University_of_Iowa_Demonstrate_AI_Enabled_Uncrewed_Aircraft_in_Jamming_Support_Mission
