The University of Iowa Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) has announced awards for three students whose outstanding contributions led to flight test innovation.

The University of Iowa's Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) is a world-renowned flight test laboratory that conducts research on human-in-the-loop and intelligent autonomous systems

University of Iowa's Operator Performance Laboratory has played an important role in advancing the next generation of fighter jets, which will mainly be artificial-intelligence-powered drone fighters taking their cues from pilots in nearby stealth jet, according to a recent analysis by Sandboxx News.

Preliminary testing at the University of Iowa Operator Performance Laboratory helped pave the way for Lockheed Martin to demonstrate the ability to control unmanned aircraft from the cockpit of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the F-22 Raptor, according to a new report in The War Zone

The critical partnership between Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, and the Operator Performance Lab at the University of Iowa Technology Institute facilitates early TRL testing of CJADC2 capability-enabling solutions that reduces costs to customers.

University of Iowa's Operator Performance Laboratory in partnership with Lockheed Martin teams showcased a crewed-uncrewed teaming mission where an airborne battle manager issued real-time commands to AI-controlled aircraft through a touchscreen pilot vehicle interface.

The United States Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS) recently collaborated with the University of Iowa’s College of Engineering Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) in deploying two highly modified L-29 jets to Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), California.

The United States Air Force Test Pilot School, in collaboration with the University of Iowa's College of Engineering Operator Performance Laboratory, recently made advances in modernizing the student curriculum while providing critical data for continued research in machine learning.

Over the last 6 months, the University of Iowa Operator Performance Laboratory has worked with Shield AI and Kratos on the deployment of Autonomous Collaborative Platforms (ACPs) that are controlled by Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy core.

An AI tool — trained on data from novice and expert pilots — could help detect flight skill mastery, said Dr. Tom Schnell, director of the University of Iowa’s Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL).
