Dragoon fighter

Why is Boeing so lucky? This is completely equivalent to God coming again and giving Boeing a golden finger.

Although no one has asked about the level of intelligence of this "Adam" intelligent system, as an airborne unmanned combat system, it is certainly not low, and people from Boeing are unlikely to reveal more information.

Experts from various countries repeatedly asked questions, but the host only answered a small part of the questions, and most of the questions were refused on the grounds of military confidentiality.

Although experts from various countries had already expected it, they still could not restrain their excitement. Even part of the information revealed was enough to move them.

"I would like to ask, is your hardware sufficient to support the operation of the Adam system? Is the core processing using military processors provided by Intel, AMD or other processor manufacturers?"

Dr. Thomas Rogan, an aviation expert from Lockheed Martin, asked again. As an old competitor of Boeing, Lockheed is naturally very aware of Boeing's strength.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Lockheed's experts knew that there was such a high-performance intelligent system, and naturally they would not let go of such a precious opportunity.

Regardless of whether intelligent systems are used or not, processors on fighter jets have always been widely used. For example, the F-35 fighter jet is equipped with three sets of aircraft management computers (VMC) with six Motorola PowerPC microprocessors to provide digital flight control and Hardware and software for general systems (e.g. fuel, electrical, hydraulic system controls).

Therefore, in order to maximize the performance of the airframe, in addition to the software system, there is also a sufficient hardware platform. This platform must be redundant. Three sets of VMCs in the F-35 airframe form the core of the distributed aircraft system. The actual work There is only one machine, and the other two machines are used together for comparison of each voting result. Even if one or both VCs are damaged or malfunctioning, the aircraft can still operate normally.

Therefore, the proportion of various processors used in fighter aircraft is also quite large. Moreover, the technical level of the processor is also quite mature. Unlike civilian processors, they are full of bugs as soon as they are launched on the market. The faults will be gradually fixed during the later step-by-step version adjustments.

In order to ensure the stability of system operations, the military sometimes has to recycle old processors for reuse, or even recycle them from Chinese electronic waste disposal sites. Such cases have happened many times on the F-15 fighter jet, and the Pentagon has also done so. The supplier's move to hunt for second-hand goods is quite helpless.

"The processing of the 'Adam' system application was specially customized by our Boeing company. It is the world's most advanced dedicated intelligent processor. The computing performance is 800 times that of the F-35 core processor. It took five years to build each fighter The core operating system integrates a total of nearly thirty-three processors, which is enough to meet the computing needs of various complex combat environments."

The host briefly introduced the performance of the processor, but did not name the manufacturer of the processor to prevent people from Lockheed from poaching.

After all, it is a processor dedicated to fighter jets. It may not be as wide-ranging as home-grade processors in office and multimedia applications, but its support for intelligent cores is specialized and efficient, and is specifically developed for flight and combat.

Is it 800 times?

Dr. Thomas Logan was shocked.

Good guy, Boeing really spared no expense for this "Adam". The R\u0026D investment in light processors may not be less than a billion dollars. It would be great if they could get their processor design drawings.

Thomas Logan's thoughts also represent the thoughts of many experts.

Not only Dr. Thomas Logan was shocked, experts from various countries all exclaimed in unison. It is conceivable that fa-xx has such powerful hardware and software support. The combat performance will reach such an outrageous level.

As long as technical conditions permit, hardware and software can be improved hundreds of times, but the combat capabilities of human pilots cannot be doubled accordingly. Even a 10% improvement is a secret thing to do, let alone More than doubled.

Thomas Logan remembered a recent rumor within Lockheed that the headquarters' "Laboratory 41" had accidentally synthesized a piece of "Fenrir" magical alloy that was extremely suitable for use in processors. It has extremely strong performance enhancement capabilities. If it is applied to this processor developed by Boeing, the performance improvement will probably be far more than 800 times that of the F-35 dedicated powerpc microprocessor.

Maybe it's also a perfect match for this set of "Adam".

But whether this "Adam" intelligent combat system is a mule or a horse should be led out and ridden.

Perhaps Boeing's FA-xx fighter is the beginning of intelligent combat systems surpassing human pilots.

"You can try the human-machine conversation. It will be lunch time in thirty minutes. There will still be a two-hour tour in the afternoon. Then we will arrange for everyone to stay in Las Vegas. The flight demonstration will officially start tomorrow."

The host continued to introduce the next arrangements and itinerary, and then signaled the technicians to open the airborne unmanned combat system "Adam" to communicate with the experts through the voice dialogue module.

Human-computer dialogue!

This fresh live event immediately attracted the interest of experts. It is the most dramatic thing in drama.

Hundreds of people suddenly surrounded the four fa-xx. Due to limited time, they could only queue up to talk, and each person was limited to three sentences.

The voice dialogue module of "Adam" only supports English. Experts who don't know English or whose English is not up to standard are directly in trouble and can only watch and stare.

Time always passes quickly. After completing the short visit, the team of experts from various countries left Area 51 in a bus under the escort of the army and headed to the southeastern city of Las Vegas.

In the secret military base of the Americans, the Chinese expert team automatically and consciously kept a low profile. The words they occasionally communicated were filled with "black words", and the occasional exchanges with foreign colleagues were concise.

Almost everyone understands that Boeing's invitation to visit Area 51 is definitely not as simple as the old wolf inviting chicken to eat today.

"What do you think of that 'Adam'?"

Professor Yan asked Lin Mo, the apprentice sitting next to him.

I was holding back a lot of words in Area 51, but now I can say them with confidence.

Ever since the vehicle left Area 51, everyone felt a sense of relief for no reason.

Experts of their level are like the American Futures Commodity Advisor (CTA). Every word is full of gold content, and even carelessness may cause unimaginable consequences, so they will be extra careful when speaking.

"The degree of intelligence is very high, close to the level of human intelligence. The combat effectiveness can indeed reach the level of an ace. It can only be regarded as a quasi-ace. If it is mass-produced, the threat will be very huge. We cannot have a large number of pure ace pilot teams."

Lin Mo's answer is consistent with what Professor Yan and other experts are thinking.

During the man-machine dialogue, experts from various countries asked "Adam" on-site questions, most of which revolved around some tactical mathematical models and intelligence level judgments that can reflect performance and are not confidential.

"Adam" responded extremely sensitively, as if he were a real human being answering their questions. His answers were extremely quick and accurate, and even his tone changes reached a very high level.

Perhaps Boeing has made restrictions in advance and the answer given by "Adam" is correspondingly reserved.

According to Lin Mo's observation, this intelligent system can indeed easily defeat ordinary pilots, but it is still not enough for the Dragon Knight, whose tactical maneuvers are as unconstrained as the sky.

He approached "Adam" and asked "Adam" about several tactical maneuver combinations, but the answer was that it couldn't be done. I'm afraid even Boeing had never thought of such a combination, so naturally this system couldn't do it.

A real ace can defeat "Adam." No country can build an air force composed of pure ace pilots.

The watch on Lin Mo's wrist was beating fast, and the gold coin guy was angrily screaming in his mind: "Damn it, I finally came out and was put in a cardboard box. I'm so arrogant. Dragon The uncle should slaughter them, seize those birds and planes, and eat them one by one."

It was rare that the main body came out to join in the fun, but I didn't expect that Americans are not taboo about meat and vegetables, and the strict security inspection procedures directly excluded the gold dragon. This resulted in a rare gold coin being thrown away, and it was locked in a cardboard box for a long time. I didn’t see anything, so needless to say I was very depressed.

The Americans were indeed defiant and did not notice a fierce alien dragon hiding among the crowd.

Even if I go to eat that FA-XX fighter jet with gold coins, I am afraid I will be disappointed to find that half a mouthful of scum cannot be digested in one mouthful. The more advanced the fighter jet, the less metal materials are used on it.

Fa-xx is not a delicious cookie for the gold dragon.

"Yes, if the fa-xx is installed, it will indeed pose a considerable threat to our country. I didn't expect Boeing's intelligent combat procedures to be so advanced. This is no longer a problem of airframe performance. We are already lagging behind. If you take one step forward, you can no longer fall behind.”

Professor Yan thought about the more far-reaching threats from the future, and there was a look of deep worry on his face. Most of the other experts nearby also had the same look.

The shock was followed by the emergence of "Adam", which was as much a deterrent as nuclear weapons.

I am afraid that many countries are the same and will inevitably increase their investment in artificial intelligence research in the future.

China's aviation industry has once again been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

"Yes, we must also step up the development of artificial intelligence programs, and we must not fall behind the Americans."

Shen Fei Qiugong's voice came from the back seat, and he had the same opinion.
