Saab says its in-house AI agents flew on Gripen E in trial scenarios

According to Saab, the agents, training environments and development tools were built in-house through its AI Fighter Pilot Academy. The company says the trial agent autonomously controlled the aircraft during beyond-visual-range scenarios under real flight conditions.

Saab describes the work as a foundation for future crewed and uncrewed systems and says it is expanding the agents into more scenarios. The performance claims come from the manufacturer and no independent evaluation was published.
