For the first time DARPA has test flown a Full Self Flying (ALIAS) Blackhawk. It flew this weekend for 30 minutes at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
"The aim of the ALIAS program, say DARPA officials, is to support execution of an entire mission from takeoff to landing -- including autonomously handling contingency events such as aircraft system failures -- employing easy-to-use interfaces that facilitate supervisor-ALIAS interaction.
Musk and I will be surprised if the entire military fleet isn't Full Self Flying by the end of the year.
