DARPA
1 reportThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency funds high-risk research and technology programs for the U.S. Department of Defense. Program managers set ambitious technical goals, recruit research teams, and use staged milestones and demonstrations to test whether new capabilities are feasible.
Questions raised by DARPA are explored through program-manager-led projects; prototype development; and advanced computing and biotechnology. The account anchors advanced computing and biotechnology in independent performance evidence and uses program solicitations to test whether the pattern extends beyond one dataset; any broad claim must allow for the fact that successful prototypes may still face major barriers before reliable operational use.

AI System Tested in Remotely Piloted F-16 Without Core Software Rewrite
A modified F-16 fighter jet was flown under AI control in a supervised test by DARPA and the US Air Force, using the VENOM Autonomy Kit to enable remote operation without altering the aircraft's core flight software
