Air Force Advances AI Combat Drone Program

The Air Force is developing XQ-58A Valkyrie drones powered by artificial intelligence.
The Valkyrie is an experimental unmanned aircraft designed as a loyal wingman for fighter jets.
The Air Force plans to build up to 2,000 of the AI drones for about $3 million each.
The drones can perform roles like surveillance, attack swarms, and re-supplying traditional aircraft.
AI is reshaping aerial combat and raising questions about the role of humans in future conflicts.
