I know the next generation of fighters are called for to be quicker and more maneuverable than anything we have ever seen but how long until the hobby world can keep up? I honestly know that we are years from such an endeavor and most of our projects far lack the funding needed to undertake such a large project. But is it more money and resources or ingenuity to tackle the problems at hand. If any of you have seen this movie you understand how it can catch your eye that a UCAV could be capable of such speed and maneuvers. How long until we could deem an autopilot able to fly a full speed jet and complete complicated aerobatics on its own with the ability to adapt to its conditions. Yes the human ability to control such a machine is amazing but were far from quantum computing but could we take the next gen cell phone processors and some electronics design to quicken our response time? How fast of a processor would we need to complete some of the challenges?
This is just a post for though and some things that I thought about while watching. Just wondering how far off the future is from us. Someday we will be there and childrens toys will make this all look like simple child's play. Look at the Atari compared to PS3. The future is out there but hopefully not at the hands of Cyberdyne systems.
