Air Force advances Auto‑ACAS as AAM momentum points toward pilotless aircraft The U.S. Air Force is developing Auto‑ACAS (automatic air collision‑avoidance) as part of a broader push to embed automation across air operations. Officials argue reduced pilot workload, rising public acceptance of autonomous AAM and ground taxis, and expanding autonomous tests will make larger pilotless aircraft viable over coming decades.
