Description
Air Force efforts to operational autonomously controlled aircraft are limited due to lack of data, complexity of mission sets and agent tasks, and an inability to simulate the expansive observations space of real-world aircraft. In this effort Toyon Research Corporation proposes to develop and extend existing reinforcement learning research and development to improve performance, training time, and sustainment of artificial intelligence agents for Air Force combat operations. Our approach applies state-of-the-art imitation learning methods used in industry to Air Force platforms currently used in Air Force autonomy programs.
