Japan and the United States will conduct joint research to develop artificial intelligence (AI) for new unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that will be used in a ‘loyal wingman' role alongside the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) sixth-generation fighter aircraft.

The Japan Ministry of Defense (MoD) and the US Department of Defense (DoD) signed an agreement on 22 December to initiate a “project arrangement” for the joint research, Japan's Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) said.

According to the US Air Force (USAF), the project is known as Overwhelming Response through Collaborative Autonomy. The project's objective is to merge “state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) with advanced unmanned air vehicles”, the USAF said.

According to ATLA, the AI developed during this joint research “will be used to determine the behaviour of unmanned aircraft”. The USAF added that the AI “is expected to be applied to UAVs operated alongside Japan's next-generation fighter aircraft”.
