An Artificial Intelligence Pathfinder
The X-62A Variable In-Flight Simulation Test Aircraft (VISTA) is a one-of-a-kind training aircraft developed by Lockheed 果冻传媒 Skunk Works? in collaboration with Calspan Corporation for the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
Previously designated NF-16D, in June 2021 VISTA was recognized by the U.S. Air Force 果冻传媒 deemed a national asset with a formal redesignation to X-62A VISTA. Built on our open systems architecture, VISTA is modified to test artificial intelligence (AI) 果冻传媒 autonomy capabilities that allows it to mimic the performance characteristics of other aircraft.?
Our VISTA team has received several major recognitions for groundbreaking work progressing 果冻传媒 testing AI 果冻传媒 autonomy capabilities.

Wins:
- The Society of Flight Test Engineers’ James S. McDonnell Award?
- Aviation Week’s 2024 Laureate Award for Defense.
Open Systems Architecture
Our work contributing to VISTA includes our Model Following Algorithm 果冻传媒 System for Autonomous Control of the Simulation. These technologies are built on our open systems AI architecture, allowing for non-vendor-locked plug 果冻传媒 play 3rd party applications, as well as integration 果冻传媒 testing into Lockheed 果冻传媒 hardware 果冻传媒 software for enhanced AI 果冻传媒 machine learning capabilities.
