空軍將F16戰機變成無人機

The U.S. Air Force turned an F-16 fighter into an autonomous combat drone capable of flying combat missions on its own and then returning to fly alongside a manned aircraft. The program, known as "Have Raider II," could lead to older U.S. fighters acting as semi-disposable wingmen for more modern planes, conducting missions too dangerous for manned aircraft to carry out.

美國空軍將一架F16戰機變成了一架自主的無人戰鬥機，可以在有人駕駛戰機的陪同下自己執行飛行戰鬥任務並返回。這個項目叫做“擁有襲擊者2”，可以把老式美國戰機當成更加現代的戰機的僚機，讓它來執行對於有人駕駛飛機來說太過危險的任務。

The program was recently validated after a two week exercise at Edwards Air Force Base involving the Air Force Research Lab, the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, Lockheed Martin, and Calspan Corporation, according to a press release by Lockheed Martin.

根據洛克希德馬丁公司的新聞稿，這個項目在最近得到了批准，在此之前在愛德華茲空軍基地進行了兩週的訓練，參與者包括空軍實驗研究室，美國空軍試飛員學校，洛克希德馬丁公司以及Calspan公司。
