USAF's Next-Generation Air Dominance Fighter Aims to Secure Air Superiority Over Rivals

The U.S. Air Force is advancing its Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, designed to produce a sixth-generation stealth fighter to succeed the F-22 Raptor. This initiative aims to maintain American air superiority in the face of rapidly modernizing adversaries like Russia and China. The conceptual F-47 fighter, part of the NGAD system-of-systems, is expected to incorporate revolutionary technologies in stealth, long-range strike, and autonomous capabilities. The program represents a significant technological leap intended to counter and outpace the development of competing fifth-generation aircraft such as China's J-20 and Russia's Su-57. The strategic implications of the NGAD's advanced capabilities are reportedly already a source of concern for military planners in Moscow and Beijing.
