Is this incredibly obvious or did I miss the part where they specified the rules of the game? I assume they're not actually going to have the drone fire actual missiles at the manned fighter...right?

- 1e-9 6y agoI would expect them to use statistical models to estimate probability of kill given the state of the target, drone, and environment at the time of a simulated weapon firing. Certainly not perfect, but you probably won't find many test pilots willing to have a live missile fired at them. Instructors are able to judge pilot effectiveness from simulated firings, so it should be good enough to evaluate a drone.
