Saab's AI agent has been tested for aerial combat in the Gripen E

During the flight tests, the AI ​​agent controlled the plane autonomously in various dogfight scenarios outside the pilot's line of sight.

- The air battle of the future will not be decided by individual platforms, but by networks of manned and unmanned systems working together, says Peter Nilsson, head of Advanced Programs within Saab's Aeronautics business area.

Saab's AI agents have been developed by the Advanced Programs business unit and can both be a support for the pilot in the cockpit or operate together with pilots from an unmanned aircraft.

An important part of Saab's development of independent AI agents is the supercomputer Spherical One in Linköping, which was commissioned in the late summer of this year. It is estimated to have cost just over one billion kroner and is jointly owned by Saab, Ericsson, AstraZeneca, SEB and Wallenberg Investments, with SKF as a strategic partner.
