X-62A VISTA：F-16Dベースの機体にAIエージェントを搭載した試験機

190130-F-CX978-0230 NF-16D VISTA becomes X-62A The Variable In-flight Simulator Aircraft (VISTA) flies in the skies over Edwards Air Force Base, California, shortly after receiving its new paint scheme in early 2019. The aircraft was resdesignated from NF-16D to the X-62A, June 14, 2021. (Air Force photo by Christian Turner)

160830-F-ZZ999-050 L1 Adaptive Control test The F-16 VISTA tracks and targets a T-38’s during testing of the L1 Adaptive Control System recently. The control system was designed and built by a team from the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, and tested by U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School Class 16A as a Test Management Program.

220920-F-HC101-1001 X-62 VISTA completes first flight test VSS The X-62 VISTA (Variable In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft) successfully completed it’s first flight test of the new VISTA Simulation System (VSS) at Edwards Air Force Base, California, Sept. 20. The VSS is instrumental in the process to get the aircraft and it’s simulation systems operational to begin testing the VISTA’s System for Autonomous Control Simulation (SACS) in the coming months. The VISTA’s successful flight is a direct reflection on the long hours of work by the Calspan, Lockheed Martin ADP, and USAF Test Pilot School development and test teams.
