Fighter ace leads tech effort to battle emerging China threat
[FoxNews] Startup led by military veterans creating new ways for fighter pilots to train.A veteran group of fighter aces and tech innovators developed a technology they believe will help win the artificial intelligence race against China. "We must do something about the investment China is making in cyber and AI, as well, because in certain spheres, I believe they are much ahead of us," said Daniel Robinson, CEO and founder of Red 6. Robinson and his team developed what they call a "revolutionary approach" to augmented reality – a technology that enables fighter pilots to go up in real airplanes and train against virtual enemies. "The whole reason I started this company is pilots must fly," Robinson, a former F-22 pilot, told Fox News. "We can't do this in simulators." "The beautiful thing with this technology is it's reset, reset, reset," Robinson continued. He said a traditional flight hour may give a pilot three looks at a problem set. But using this technology, "you may get 8, 9, 10 looks at the problem set using this," Robinson told Fox News. The U.S. Air Force gave Red 6 a $70 million contract last year. The company expects to see its tech in a fighter jet within 18 months. Posted by: Skidmark 2022-02-19 |
