Maneuver Prediction in Air Combat via Artificial Neural Networks

Very interesting. Of course as an aid to a pilot, by the time it tells you
what you should do and you do it, it might be too late. Perhaps some kind of
visual cue (symbols on the hud) could make this work.

As much as a fighter pilot tries to do the unexpected, he probably does the
expected fairly often. Good pilots also fly the plane well (executing
maneuvers well) and can take more g's. Of course a computer plane would
probably do both of those near flawlessly.

I'm not sure I want to be a fighter pilot in the 21st or 22nd centuries when
this all comes together.

I'm not even sure much is being done now (the article
was 1988-1989) with Neural Nets, they seem to have
reached a bit of a dead end. Anyone here know about any recent NN work?
