Military/Defense News / AI-PILOTED F-16 TAKES ON HUMAN PILOT IN ‘COMPLEX DOGFIGHTS’

AIRPOWER, BREAKING NEWS
BY ALEX HOLLINGS
APRIL 17, 2024
On Wednesday, the U.S. Air Force revealed that its ongoing effort to field artificial intelligence (AI) pilots for combat aircraft has already seen AI-piloted F-16s take on their human counterparts in complex air-combat exercises. This effort is part of DARPA’s Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program, and is seen as an essential step toward equipping forthcoming 6th-generation fighters with AI-enabled drone wingmen.
These drills, which took place over the past 12 months, saw artificial intelligence take the stick of a heavily modified Block 30 F-16D known as the X-62 VISTA throughout a series of 21 increasingly complex operations, with rapid changes made to the coding of the AI “agent” piloting the aircraft between each bout. After logging more than 100,000 code changes to the AI’s flight-critical software over the course of the year, the AI agent was made ready to take on a human pilot in an opposing F-16 in what the Air Force described as “highly complex dogfights.”
“The potential for autonomous air-to-air combat has been imaginable for decades, but the reality has remained a distant dream up until now. In 2023, the X-62A broke one of the most significant barriers in combat aviation. This is a transformational moment, all made possible by breakthrough accomplishments of the X-62A ACE team,” said Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall.

University of Alabama earlier today.
Oppsoing groups spent the entire day with dueling chants.
Until someone started yelling F Joe Biden.
For the first time all day, both sides agreed.

California / Napa Valley’s Famous Wineries Revolt Against Eco-Activist Bureaucrats
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 01:47:36 pm »Legal Insurrection by Leslie Eastman Wednesday, May 1, 2024
Meanwhile, there is a secretive FBI probe targeting Napa Valley vineyard owners, while eco- extremist taunts vintner with property burning.
There are signs that California is slowly waking up from its zombie-like stupor of mindlessly voting in Democrats.
For example, in deep blue San Francisco, voters are going right due to rampant crime in the area.
Now, Napa Valley’s famous wineries are revolting against eco-activist bureaucrats who are strangling their vineyards with climate cultism and red tape.
The wineries have one advantage over many people who are also being hurt by pseudoscience-spewing ninnies: They are rich enough to launch a lawfare campaign.
Wealthy vintners say they are being ‘crushed’ by ‘gross regulatory overreach’, which has included penalizing wineries for planting trees, making jam and conducting wine tastings on their own land.
One vineyard was even fined $1million for making too much wine.
There are fears that officials are cowing to ‘eco-mob extremists’, who view unfettered growth as a threat to their rural idyll.
But the grape growers behind Napa’s multibillion dollar industry are now fighting back, with a raft of lawsuits now pending against the county.
One example of the legal cases being brought against excessive regulatory overreach that is stopping him from developing an experimental hillside vineyard, which is due to be heard in November.
What the county officials assert and the realities on the ground appear to be 2 different things.
The case began in 2022 when Hundred Acre Jayson Woodbridge filed a lawsuit in Napa County Superior Court against Napa County alleging governmental overreach and deprivation of property rights.
One issue was the removal of burned trees and stumps from the destructive 2020 Glass Fire which “utterly” destroyed 80 acres of Woodbridge’s 113 acres and the development of a dry-farmed vineyard, according to the complaint.
A county official estimated 5 to 7 acres of steep land had been cleared and staked in 2022 for the vineyard, according to a court filing. The official also reported that earth moving activities had taken place within required setbacks of ephemeral streams, according to the declaration.

During her 2021 confirmation process, Clarke, who heads the Justice Department’s civil rights division, was asked by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in a questionnaire if she’d “ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person.”
Clarke responded, “No.”
The Daily Signal reported Tuesday that Clarke was arrested in Maryland in relation to a domestic violence complaint back in 2006. ...

Military/Defense News / America’s Military Isn’t Providing Enough Bang for the Buck
« Last post by rangerrebew on Today at 01:44:37 pm »America’s Military Isn’t Providing Enough Bang for the Buck
By BING WEST

The Pentagon’s procurement culture of regulations and massive, slow-moving corporations simply has not kept pace with the commoditization of high tech.
In the summer of 1944, German V1 drones attacked London, forcing the British to spend four times more on defense. Fortunately, already on the road to defeat, Germany could not exploit its advantage. Fast forward to April of 2024. As happened in 1944, the Iranian launch against Israel of 300 drones and missiles resulted in a disproportionate defense in terms of resources expended. Israeli costs were estimated at $550 million, with the American defensive screen of F-15 aircraft, destroyers, and Patriot anti-missile systems costing at least as much. This same disproportion pertains to the Red Sea, where in the past six months, the U.S. Navy has expended $1 billion, firing $2 million missiles to shoot down Iranian Shahed drones costing $20,000. You can’t prevail in a major war when the defense costs multiple times more than the offense.
How did we get into this situation? In WWII, America was the arsenal of democracy, unmatched at fast mass production. About 300,000 aircraft were built in two and a half years. Beginning in the ’80s, the American way of war shifted from mass production to high tech; precision replaced bulk. Finely engineered drones, with apposite names like Predator, tracked terrorists down crowded streets and obliterated them without harming passersby, while command centers and the White House watched in real-time.

Health/Education / Rutgers University Students Now Complaining of ‘Protest Fatigue’
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 01:43:47 pm »Legal Insurrection by Leslie Eastman Thursday, May 2, 2024
Many more Americans — both on and off the nation’s campuses — will be suffering “protest fatigue” before 2024 is over.
As the week started, Rutgers University joined the long list of institutions whose campuses have been taken over by anti-Israel/pro-Hamas demonstrators.
The tents were set up in the heart of Rutgers-New Brunswick on Monday afternoon during a protest march announced by the university’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, a political organization involved in student-led protests demanding a cease-fire on college campuses across the nation.
The students are part of a growing movement of college students occupying campus spaces and asking university leadership to divest from Israeli corporate and cultural interests.
The Rutgers encampment took place peacefully and without interference from university administration on the greens on Voorhees Mall, a member of the group and junior on campus who did not want to be identified said in an interview.
“We will not leave Voorhees Mall the same way Palestinians in Gaza refuse to leave their homes until our demands are met,” the Rutgers-SJP group said in a press release, referring to university administrators’ “not acknowledging” Palestinian students.
Legal Insurrection readers may recall we covered Rutges’ experience with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) earlier this year. Masked SJP members listed demands for the campus during a press conference in front of a sign that said, “Rutgers profits off of Palestinian suffering,” and wearing the traditional Arab headscarf, the keffiyeh. That was after the student government enabled SJP antics by forking over $20,000 for teach-ins and conferences.
However, the tide may be turning against the hate-campers. Rutgers students now complain of “protest fatigue” and want the encampment gone.
