Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall flies in an X-62A VISTA in the skies above Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., May 2, 2024. The X-62A is currently in the midst of an upgrade program that will fully replace the VISTA Simulation System. The upgrade program will also add a new system called the System for Autonomous Control of Simulation to support autonomy testing for the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Skyborg program.
