Stealth is a 2005 movie that explores this concept. It didn't do too well in the box office but I definitely enjoyed it although the AI is a little forced.
It looks like the drone in question here is the following (quoted from Aerospace Testing International), also mentioned in the linked source:
'The “fighter-sized” 5th Generation Aerial Target (5GAT) is 12.2m (40ft) long, a 7.3m wingspan and a maximum gross weight of 4,350kg (9,600lb). It is designed to be launched and landed using a conventional runway. The drone features two afterburning jet engines and a 95% carbon fiber airframe.' It seems to be designed specifically to stress test our own flights as target practice and doesn't seem like it's actually going to be going into combat anytime soon.
- cheschire 6y agoIf you enjoyed that, be sure to check out Macross Plus. The rivalry is between a traditional pilot and pilot who controls using a neural interface. A little less hand wavey than what sci-fi thought AI was 15 years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross_Plus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross_Plus
- cellularmitosis 6y agoI love how Macross Plus was inspired by the real-life rivalry between Northrop's YF-23 and Lockheed's YF-22, competing in the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_YF-23 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_YF-23
- arthurcolle 6y agoI have a hard time getting into animated stuff but I'll definitely try to download a decent quality version of it and watch it. Sounds like its right up my alley! Since this was created in 1994 and Stealth was created in 2005, I'm wondering how you arrive at your third sentence! Haha :)
- cheschire 6y agoI was referring to Stealth, which attempts to depict AI 15 years ago. Macross Plus being much older doesn't attempt to get into AI for the opponent, and instead uses something a little more down to earth at the time which was neural interfaces.
