WingX flight data and JetNet records are now available through ChatGPT and Claude, bringing aviation datasets into widely used AI assistants. The announcement does not specify the data’s scope, access terms or safeguards, but marks a new interface for querying flight activity and industry records.
A Lockheed Martin F-22 has demonstrated the ability to take airborne control of an Anduril YFQ-44A collaborative combat aircraft, showing a crewed fighter directing a CCA in flight. The test highlights the operational concept of pairing the USAF’s top fighter with an uncrewed aircraft for missions under fighter control.
The Army’s plan would send hundreds of balloons into enemy territory to survey broad areas, draw or confuse air defenses, extend communications networks and launch drone attacks behind the lines. The concept combines persistent presence and multiple battlefield roles in a low-cost airborne platform, according to the report.
The Defense Innovation Unit is seeking unmanned surface vessels equipped with “mature hard-kill Counter-Air effectors and clutter-resilient sensor suites,” according to its solicitation. The requirements mark the next phase of a competition focused on integrating defensive weapons and sensors onto uncrewed maritime platforms.
Shield AI said its Hivemind software helped Honeywell Aerospace achieve autonomous flight in six weeks, compared with 54 weeks previously. The companies’ reported result highlights a sharply shorter development timeline for autonomous-flight capability, though the article provides no further details on the aircraft or test conditions.
Colorado-based WarpWare closed a $1.2 million pre-seed round to expand an engineering platform it describes as AI-enabled, with agentic tools for flight software. The funding targets software development for space missions, an application area where engineering tools are part of the broader commercial space technology landscape.
