Autonomy for formation keeping in tactical environments
40:35 - 49:04 (08:29)
Autonomy can be used for formation keeping in tactical environments, bringing more efficiency through non-traditional formation keeping and the introduction of randomness that is difficult to be predicted in real-time.

While it may seem easier to fly in formation, the reality is that it can be more challenging to fly precisely when your hand movements and aircraft are lined up.

Summary
While it may seem easier to fly in formation, the reality is that it can be more challenging to fly precisely when your hand movements and aircraft are lined up. This can particularly affect the comfort and precision of the individuals in a four-person formation.

The stress of staying in position during a flight lead can be high, as relying on instruments alone can endanger others in the group.
42:43 - 46:56 (04:13)
Summary
The stress of staying in position during a flight lead can be high, as relying on instruments alone can endanger others in the group. Lane keeping systems in cars can actually relieve this stress, but pilots can't rely solely on their instruments in a formation flight.

The use of artificial intelligence in collaboration with humans is seen as an effective strategy for the semi-autonomous environment of airplane and vehicle systems, especially for safety critical situations.

Summary
The use of artificial intelligence in collaboration with humans is seen as an effective strategy for the semi-autonomous environment of airplane and vehicle systems, especially for safety critical situations. Non-traditional formation tactics and the introduction of randomness could also be made possible by AI-based mission planners, rather than just for the sake of convenience.
