Private F-16 Aggressors Getting Ability To Insert Synthetic Bandits Into Live Training

As the Air & Space Forces Association’s annual Air Warfare Symposium kicks off today in Aurora, Colorado, private adversary air company Top Aces is previewing its new “constructive wingman” capability that will begin test and evaluation on its F-16A/B aggressor aircraft starting this spring. The constructive wingman will be managed by Top Aces’ aggressor pilots through a multi-functional display (MFD) on the lower center pedestal panel in the cockpit rather than via a knee-mounted tablet display as has become common with other additive AI-based systems.
