In recent developments, the US Air Force has steered its focus towards a paradigm shift in drone warfare, moving from the conventional “expendable” perspective to a more sustainable “affordable mass” concept. This transformation underscores a balanced approach where cost-effectiveness meets tactical advantage.
The horizon of modern warfare and defense technologies has witnessed a new dawn, marked by the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and its intersection with aviation.
The US Air Force has reported that its X-62A VISTA, an AI-guided aircraft, completed a 17-hour flight without human intervention, marking a successful milestone in the development of autonomous fighter planes.
This shows that, not only from an environmental point of view, but also in terms of its strategic value, the microreactor could be one of the most important energy innovations of the coming period.
