The US Air Force is about to have an airplane

A software company in the US is developing software that can help unmanned aerial drones predict all actions of enemy pilots.

Popular Science said Stottler Henke Associates, a US company, is in the process of developing a suite of software capable of helping unmanned aircraft predict the pilot's actions on other aircraft.

This project was carried out after Stottler Henke Associates contracted the US Air Force to develop software systems that analyze the intentions of enemy pilots. The system simulates pilots' behavior in real contexts and conjectural contexts.

Accordingly, the software can predict how to take off, fly, land, process information of enemy pilots. Information obtained will help unmanned aircraft build a pilot's database. Based on that database, the aircraft will determine how it will react when it approaches a rival aircraft. Software can also help unmanned aircraft handle when the aircraft breaks down or has a problem.

Dick Stottler, managing director of Stottler Henke Associates, admitted that the software could do nothing if unmanned aircraft had the intention to "counter-attack". So he pledged: 'We will not teach the aircraft to automatically disobey the commands of the operators'.
