AI tool ‘Rattlesnaq’ thinks at Mach speed to help fighter pilots dodge missiles

SMRTR summary

BAE Systems and Avioniq are testing an AI system called Rattlesnaq for fighter jets like the Eurofighter Typhoon. The software maps missile threats in real-time, showing pilots where it's safe to fly and how to evade attacks. It processes data 200 times faster than current systems and can guide both manned and unmanned aircraft. Rattlesnaq aims to enhance pilot situational awareness, decision-making, and survivability in combat scenarios. The technology could revolutionize air combat tactics and training for future warfare.
