“During the Project Overwatch test flight … , a Lockheed Martin-built and trained AI/machine learning model resolved ID ambiguities among emitters, improving situational awareness and reducing pilot decision making latency,” the release added. “Engineers then used an automated tool to label new emitters, retrain the AI model to learn the new emitter class within minutes, and reload the updated model for the next flight, all in the same mission planning cycle.”
“Embedding this advanced AI into the F-35’s mission system helps pilots understand threats faster so they can make decisions more quickly, because operators don’t have time to synthesize data in combat,” it continued.
“The new technology is displayed in the same manner as the current Combat ID system. The work done in Project Overwatch serves to augment the information in the current system,” a Lockheed Martin spokesperson also told TWZ directly when asked for more specifics. “During [the] flight test, the pilot was presented with the info from the legacy system as well as the new system.”
“The information is presented to the pilot in flight,” they added. “After each mission, data is downloaded into the system, processed, and results in enhanced intelligence for the next flight.”
