Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Saab Successfully Test Groundbreaking AI Fight Jet
Caption: Saab Successfully Test Groundbreaking AI Fight Jet. Saab has tested a new fighter jet that utilises artificial intelligence to engage in combat. The Swedish firm has partnered with AI defence specialist Helsing and has now successfully completed the first three test flights of its Gripen E fighter. The test flights, conducted under Saab's cutting-edge initiative 'Project Beyond', are a significant milestone in the evolution of AI integration into frontline combat aircraft. The first of the three flights took place on 28 May. The tests showcased Centaur's ability to take autonomous control of the Gripen E and carry out complex manoeuvres in a Beyond Visual Range (BVR) combat environment. The AI system was also able to cue the human pilot to engage targets - a demonstration of human-machine teaming in advanced air combat. A standout feature of the Gripen E is its ability to integrate advanced software updates - such as AI agents - without compromising on safety. In the third flight, conducted on 3 June, the AI was specifically tested in dynamic BVR scenarios against a real Gripen D aircraft. In one scenario, command-and-control data was even deliberately withheld to assess the AI's resilience. Saab and Helsing's joint team is now analysing the flight data to further train and develop the flying AI agent.
