• Abstract: This paper evaluates an advanced jet trainer's utilization of artificial intelligence (AI)-based aircraft aerobatic maneuvers with the intention of developing an AI-assisted pilot training module for specific aircraft maneuvers. A multitude of aircraft maneuvers have been simulated using reinforcement learning (RL) agents, which will serve as a training tool for future pilots.

  This work contributes to developing an agent based on deep reinforcement learning capable of acting in a beyond visual range (BVR) air combat simulation environment. The paper presents an overview of building an agent representing a high-performance fighter aircraft that can learn and improve its role in BVR combat over time. It also hopes to examine a real pilot's ability, using virtual simulation, to interact in the same environment with the trained agent and compare their performances.
