Given that the X-45 will be autonomous and not under tele-robotic control,
how would you rate its overall AI capabilities?

Subject: [EDTV-Robotics-State-Of-The-Art] X-45's Machine Vision System re
    "Human Equivalency"

Dear Boeing:
            Last night a CTV news clip showed sketches of the X-45, a
pilotless fighter craft which Boeing expects to have ready for use by
2010. However, I couldn't find it on your web site. Could you please
direct me to someone who would be able to answer a few questions for a
proposed educational television program on robotics-state-of-the-art?
In particular I am wondering about the X-45's artificial vision system.
If the pilotless fighter is to be competitive with humans it must have an
artifificial vision and object recognition system to surpass that of
humans, ie to exceeed "human equivalency". What current technologies make
Boeing confident that the X-45 will surpass human equivalency in this
sense?

Thank you-FWP
