Dogfight between 2 F-16s in simulation software; the pilots in this case are AI programs who are fighting for the chance to engage with a human pilot. The trajectories of the aircraft are denoted in pink and blue, as are the scores of the engagements.

The DARPA AlphaDogfight was a 2019–2020 DARPA program that pitted computers using F-16 flight simulators against one another. The computers were managed by eight teams of humans, which competed in a single-round elimination for the right to battle a skilled human dogfighter. Heron Systems corporation wrote a deep reinforcement learning software tool that bested the human pilot by a score of 5–0.[1] The tournament program was managed by the Applied Physics Laboratory.[2] The trials took place in October 2019 and January 2020 while the finals were held in August 2020.[2] [3]
