Two American companies announced the completion of the world's first air battle between a real pilot and a virtual fighter controlled by artificial intelligence. This experiment is the first step towards delivering a similar technology to us air force fighter pilots, which will allow them to "fight" virtual opponents using augmented reality.
The concept will help significantly reduce the cost of preparing for air combat, without coming into real contact with enemy aircraft. The experiment involved an experimental Freeflight Composites Berkut 560 aircraft and a 5th-generation J-20 Chinese stealth fighter modeled using Tactical AI EpiSci technology. The unusual match took place at Camarillo airport, California.

EpiSci was based on the Alpha Dogfight program developed by DARPA. It can be used to implement a simulation controlled by artificial intelligence, which was previously used only on traditional ground simulators. The virtual air combat used the atars onboard tactical augmented reality system, which includes the data display and control systems necessary to visualize augmented reality objects, and then to interact this virtual image with the environment as if it were real.
