For decades, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works has been synonymous with daring aerospace breakthroughs. Today that daring spirit is being directed toward a new frontier - tactical artificial intelligence that can decide, act, and adapt alongside human pilots. A tangible example of this vision unfolded through the Have Remy Test Management Project (TMP).
The core of Have Remy is integrating TPS students into the design, test, and evaluation of autonomous agents over an accelerated development timeline. They defined a missile-evasion scenario, demanding split-second decision-making and 3D maneuvering at the limits of the VISTA flight-envelope.
They shaped training of the AI in hours, with billions of simulated missions utilizing Skunk Works’ Supermassive simulation engine. They guided development of the AI using a high-fidelity F-16 simulator that allowed virtual testing prior to live execution. They provided feedback on novel AI monitoring algorithms that characterize AI agents’ replication of simulated performance in the real-world.
TPS students experienced first-hand how AI moves from theory to flight-ready capability, while Skunk Works engineers leveraged access to the USAF X-62A VISTA high-performance autonomy testbed to evaluate their technology.
The X-62A VISTA, a modified F-16 equipped with high-performance computing and sensor suites, has never before hosted a Lockheed Martin AI system with direct control of the aircraft.

數十年來,洛克希德馬丁集團旗下的臭鼬工廠,一直是大膽航太突破的代名詞。如今,這種勇於創新的精神正被引領至全新領域—戰術人工智慧,使其能與人類飛行員並肩決策、行動與適應。此一願景透過「Have Remy測試管理專案」呈現。
「Have Remy」的核心,在於讓TPS學員在加速的開發時程中,直接參與自主代理系統的設計、測試與評估。他們定義飛彈閃避情境,要求在「可變飛行模擬試驗機」(VISTA)飛行包線極限下,進行瞬間決策與立體空間機動操作。
他們運用臭鼬工廠的超大模擬引擎,在數小時內完成AI訓練,執行數十億次模擬任務;透過高擬真F-16模擬器引導 AI開發,使其能在實機飛行前完成虛擬測試;針對新型AI監測演算法提供回饋,用以評估AI代理在真實環境中重現模擬表現的能力。
TPS學員親身體驗AI如何從理論發展為具備飛行能力的實戰技術;同時,臭鼬工廠工程師藉由美空軍的X-62A VISTA高性能自主測試平臺,評估其技術成果。
X-62A VISTA是一架改裝的F-16,配備高性能運算系統與感測器套件。這是該機型首次搭載由洛馬開發、可直接控制飛機的AI系統。
