比尔空军基地，加利福尼亚州（AFNS） -信令的一大飞跃，在数字时代的国防，空军飞行与人工智能作为工作机组成员板载了军用飞机的第一次12月15日

的AI算法（被称为ARTUμ）与飞行员，美国空军少校“ Vudu”一起飞过，并被分配到比尔空军基地第9侦察联队的U-2“龙夫人”。空战司令部的U-2联邦实验室研究人员开发了ARTUμ并对其进行了培训，以执行特定的飞行任务，否则飞行员将完成这些任务。

这次试飞是空军多年来共同努力的结果，该技术在数字时代与世界其他大国竞争时将尖端技术应用于军事行动。空军采购，技术和后勤助理部长威廉·罗珀（William Roper）博士

说：“ ARTUμ的突破性飞行使我们成为数字化部队的三年旅程达到了顶点。” “将AI首次安全地控制在美国军事系统中，将迎来人机协作和算法竞争的新时代。无法实现AI的全部潜力将意味着将决策优势让给我们的对手。”

在飞行过程中，ARTUμ负责传感器的使用和战术导航，而飞行员则驾驶飞机飞行并与AI协调传感器的操作。他们一起在模拟导弹打击中执行了侦察任务。ARTUμ的主要责任是在飞行员寻找威胁飞机时寻找敌方发射器，这两种飞机都共享U-2的雷达。

这次飞行是精确构建的场景的一部分，该场景使AI与另一种动态计算机算法相抵触，以证明新技术。

空军参谋长查尔斯·Q·布朗说：“我们知道，为了在与同行的对手的未来冲突中战斗和获胜，我们必须具有决定性的数字优势。”。“人工智能将在实现这一优势方面发挥关键作用，因此，我为团队所取得的成就感到无比自豪。我们必须加快变革，只有当我们的飞行员突破我们认为可能的极限时，这种情况才会发生。”

起飞后，根据先前从超过50万次计算机模拟训练迭代中获得的见解，将传感器控制权移交给了ARTUμ，然后由后者操纵传感器。飞行员和AI成功合作，共享传感器并实现了任务目标。

U-2联邦实验室将该AI技术设计为可轻松移植到其他系统，并计划进一步完善该技术。今天的飞行不仅为团队提供了宝贵的数据，而且为ARTUμ提供了宝贵的数据。

空军部长芭芭拉·巴雷特（Barbara Barrett）表示：“这种具有历史意义的飞行结合了具有机器学习功能的飞行员的专业知识，直接回答了国防战略对自动系统进行投资的号召。” “人工智能的创新将改变空域和太空领域。”

U-2联邦实验室是15个符合USC规定的组织，旨在将“作战人员，开发商和收单者的汇合处”垂直整合到同一作战顶棚下。该实验室已经开发并获得美国国家标准技术研究所的批准，可以在联邦政府中建立第20个实验室认证计划。它促进了“边缘开发”-一种在有限，安全的环境中在操作系统上开发新软件集成的概念。

U-2联邦实验室团队在U-2训练任务中首次更新机上软件后仅两个月，就进行了AI的历史性飞行。该团队利用了开源的容器编排软件Kubernetes，这是另一个军事先驱。

EALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFNS) -- Signaling a major leap forward for national defense in the digital age, the Air Force flew with artificial intelligence as a working aircrew member onboard a military aircraft for the first time Dec. 15.

The AI algorithm, known as ARTUμ, flew with the pilot, U.S. Air Force Maj. “Vudu”, on a U-2 Dragon Lady assigned to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing at Beale Air Force Base. Air Combat Command’s U-2 Federal Laboratory researchers developed ARTUμ and trained it to execute specific in-flight tasks that otherwise would be done by the pilot.

The test flight was the result of years of concerted effort within the Air Force to apply cutting-edge technology to military operations as it competes with other world powers in the digital age.

“ARTUμ’s groundbreaking flight culminates our three-year journey to becoming a digital force,” said Dr. William Roper, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, technology and logistics. “Putting AI safely in command of a U.S. military system for the first time ushers in a new age of human-machine teaming and algorithmic competition. Failing to realize AI’s full potential will mean ceding decision advantage to our adversaries.”

During this flight, ARTUμ was responsible for sensor employment and tactical navigation, while the pilot flew the aircraft and coordinated with the AI on sensor operation. Together, they flew a reconnaissance mission during a simulated missile strike. ARTUμ’s primary responsibility was finding enemy launchers while the pilot was on the lookout for threatening aircraft, both sharing the U-2’s radar.

The flight was part of a precisely constructed scenario which pitted the AI against another dynamic computer algorithm in order to prove the new technology.

“We know that in order to fight and win in a future conflict with a peer adversary, we must have a decisive digital advantage,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr. “AI will play a critical role in achieving that edge, so I’m incredibly proud of what the team accomplished. We must accelerate change and that only happens when our Airmen push the limits of what we thought was possible.”

After takeoff, the sensor control was positively handed-off to ARTUμ who then manipulated the sensor, based on insight previously learned from over a half-million computer simulated training iterations. The pilot and AI successfully teamed to share the sensor and achieve the mission objectives.

The U-2 Federal Laboratory designed this AI technology to be easily transferable to other systems and plan to further refine the technology. Today’s flight provided invaluable data for not only the team to learn from, but also ARTUμ.

“Blending expertise of a pilot with capabilities of machine learning, this historic flight directly answers the National Defense Strategy’s call to invest in autonomous systems,” said Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett. “Innovations in artificial intelligence will transform both the air and space domains.”

The U-2 Federal Laboratory is a 15 U.S.C. compliant organization established to bring together a “confluence of warfighter, developer, and acquirer” vertically-integrated under the same operational roof. The lab has developed and been approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish the 20th Laboratory Accreditation Program in the federal government. It promotes “edge development” – a concept to develop new software integration on operational systems in a bounded, safe environment.

The historic flight with AI comes just two months after the U-2 Federal Laboratory team updated inflight software for the first time during a U-2 training mission. The team leveraged the open-source container-orchestration software Kubernetes, another military first.

一群中国国民正在训练成为加拿大艾伯塔省红鹿市附近退役的加拿大军事基地的飞行员。Rebel News收到了几条暗示中国人民解放军（PLA）正在积极训练前CFB Penhold军事人员的提示后，前往该地点进行调查。  

叛军新闻 证实，有大量的中国人进行飞行训练，他们已经这样做了多年。一名学生说他去过那里“大约500天”，另一组回中国的学生已经在那里“呆了32个月”。

在像中国这样交战日益激烈的国家训练外国人的飞机飞行艺术并不是看起来那么简单。乘坐满载平民的飞机和满载士兵的飞机之间的知识差距并不那么大。

再加上叛乱新闻最近发布的机密文件，这些文件显示贾斯汀·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）邀请解放军在安大略的CFB Petawawa派遣部队接受寒冷天气训练-这使您想知道加拿大政府的忠诚度在哪里。   

在中国绑架加拿大公民迈克尔·斯帕沃尔和迈克尔·科夫里格之后，加拿大武装部队取消了训练，特鲁多政府因此大为恼火。

CFB Penhold以其对NORAD远程雷达计划的贡献而闻名，并被称为“迪芬朋克”地区紧急政府总部的秘密地点，类似于其在渥太华附近较为知名的姐妹设施。

中国学生被安置在以前由加拿大皇家空军成员占领的军营中。

A troop of Chinese nationals are training to become pilots at a decommissioned Canadian military base near Red Deer, Alberta. After receiving several tips suggesting that China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was actively training military personnel at the former CFB Penhold, Rebel News visited the location to investigate.

Rebel News confirmed that there is a vast number of Chinese nationals conducting flight training, and they have been doing so for years. One student said that he had been there for “around 500 days,” and that another group of students headed back to China had been there for “32 months.”

Training foreign nationals from an increasingly belligerent nation like China in the art of flying our aircraft is not as innocuous as it might seem. The knowledge gap between flying a plane full of civilians and flying a plane full of soldiers is not that wide.

Couple this revelation with the recent confidential documents released by Rebel News which show Justin Trudeau inviting the PLA to send its troops for cold weather training at CFB Petawawa in Ontario — it makes you wonder where this Canadian government’s loyalties lie.

The Trudeau government was infuriated when the Canadian Armed Forces cancelled the training, following China’s kidnapping of Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig.

CFB Penhold was known for its contribution to NORAD’s long range radar program, and as a secret location for a Regional Emergency Government Headquarters in a “Diefenbunker,” similar to its more well-known sister facility near Ottawa.

The Chinese students are being housed in the barracks formerly occupied by members of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
