I doubt very much the Japanese-British-Italy jet would out maneuver the F-35 in "net working." They obviously are aiming for a bigger, more powerful, F-22-like 2 engine superiority fighter jet... because all three countries are situated in areas where they have vast distances to cover, so safeguard their exposed territories. But the US has over 1,000 actual military nodes across the world and the mid-range F-35 is built from the ground up to be a PLATFORM fighter jet (each F-35 is a specialist in its area of operation: Europe, the ME, SE Asia, Northeast Asia, Central Asia, Africa, North America, etc)... to leverage such "networking" INFRASTRUCTURE..... so no other jet could or would out "network" --- if by that term we mean the ability to send, receive, and crunch large volumes of intel safely, in the fastest manner --- the physically average F-35, which is NOT built to physically out accelerate, out speed, or out last (in fuel capacity & distance before it needs refueling) bigger, faster, and more powerful jets (F-22, Su-35/57, Typhooh, Rafale, Eurofighter, etc).... because its forte is in COMPUTATION (in radar and avionics and networking). The F-35 is an IQ project, not a body building one... (The US has that leisure because it still has the mighty F-15 from last generation and the 1990s F-22, for brute force activities... The F-15 may be a flying billboard/target, & it is crude, and badly fabricated jet.... but it is as fast as the mighty F-22 & 95% as powerful in jet engines...) The F-22, for example, is way faster, more powerful, and more maneuverable than the F-35; but computationally, it probably has only 1/4 of the F-35 native capability; and with the F-22 NOT an easy and older machine to upgrade, whereas the F-35 is built to be Easily UPGRADED in computational process capability, it probably will have up to an order of magnitude more computational capability than the F-22, by the time the US has 1,000 of them in service... Anywan, you can't just build "6th gen fighter jets that are superior to American fighter jets" when you have NOT even built 3rd, 4th, or 5th. The las time either Britain or Japan built actual fighter planes was back in the 1930 - 50s. The US and Russia are the only two countries continuously build fighter planes before jet engines became available. Unfortunately, Russia just doesn't have the PRECISION tools, fabrication, and processing capability the US has, despite the former's continuous attempt to keep up. You could see in the Su-57 the screws, nuts, and bolts from miles away, using eye sight alone. And it is Russia's most high-end project. It could only produce about 2 dozen or so. The F-35, however, looks someone like Alien fabrication, from some angles, with its metal sheet joining, screws, nuts, and bolts being so much more sophisticatedly hidden.... and by the time it is done with production, there will likely be 2,500 to 3,000 F-35 in 30 plus nations militaries... The US 6th gen WILL BE a true 6th gen, both in labeling and in technological fabrication evolution....

in automobile industry, UK is behind Germany, France and Italy, in 5G telecommunication,equipment, civil nuclear, electrical car, high-tech train, UK is also behind China and needs Chinese companies for help, so we can say a desindustrialized UK has still some few cutting edge tech, but "always have" is exaggerating, both Japan Mitsubishi civil plane project and Shinshin jet fighter project have failed, in aeronautics, Japan is far behind US, EU and even China, and Japanese liability is a doubt, since even India manages to land on Moon, but alk Japanese Moon missions have failed too, of course Japan has also some special advanced tech to contribute, but calling ut Anglo-Japanese fighter seems to be ignore the key role of Italy, Japanese Gundam is only in anime, in reality the top World 10 drones companies, none is Japanese, i think UK should focus on its European partners first, to be honest, in this world, the only adversary China takes as serious are the US and entire EU, only the US can be far beyond China, China doesn't really takes UK and Japan as worth opponent of the same side, but both of them still have right to try to catch up with China, since Chinese GDP is larger than the total sum of UK+Japan+India+Russia+SK+Australia all together, so in term of budget, it wil be hard,

Yes, this! The Japanese, though not as experienced as the Brits in jet engines, have the same issue. They can greatly contribute on key hardware fronts such as in the materials sciences for the engine and radar components, after all they helped pioneer AESA radars and (like BAE), work with GE and Boeing on engine development. And the Brits, besides their outsized experience in designing jets from top to bottom, also have excellent software and interface experience. ^Beware, the 50 cent army is out in full force. 🙄

Given that of the AUKUS pact, Ghost Bat is pretty extensively worked on by Australia, I suspect the plan (or at least the plan as would be preferred by the Australians) would be to mass produce the Ghost Bat for all wingman drone platforms, GCAP, NGAD etc. I'd be interested to see if Australia signs on to the GCAP, if the design decision is for longer range etc, it seems on paper to more closely fit Australian requirements given its large landmass etc.

[@herpderp9774]

Exactly and looking at the F-22 no sales even to allies, I can't imagine the NGAD being sold to anyone either having the most up to date and cutting edge technologies involved in its production.

[@Kenny-yl9pc]

I suspect that the Ghost Bat will be one of the drones utilized. There is a need for various drones at different capability and price points. There won't be a one fits all solution. We can observe that Develpoment already with the "normal" drones. They need cheap drones like a Tomahawk equivalent, cheap to mass produce which is good for attrition. And a more capable stealth drone, which is much more expensive but good for high-risk operations. Maybe even 3, one cheap, one middle, and one expensive solution. And then they have many different variants for those drones, like ew, isr, strike, air dominance, missile truck, etcetera. Thats what I envision.

[@OniFeez]

@@herpderp9774 I don't think the world is the same as when the F-22 went into production. I think the American government is far more partial to sell the NGAD now due to the costs of its development (and eventually becomes cheaper with the more production it has) and of course, the AUKUS agreement has already allowed pretty serious technology transfer between the US and the UK and Australia what with nuclear subs and the like. I do find it somewhat amazing that the GCAP is continuing its development despite the NGAD due to the AUKUS agreement; but I suspect there is a whole range of legal issues and technology sharing involved with that license that it might just be too expensive at the moment for the British government to pull out.

South Korea is focused on their KF-21 Boramae program in partnership with Indonesia. This is much lower capability level in terms of stealth and will use external weapons on initial variants. But it is also much lower cost in acquisition and especially in operations. It also enabled much faster development with production scheduled to start on n 2026. Internally it uses technologies directly derived from F-35 under license from the USA. It is as stealthy as feasible while avoiding high cost maintenance of exotic materials. This allows a focus on firepower that makes it functionally equivalent to F-35 in beast mode with external weapons at lower operating costs. Tempest could be useful as a step up in stealth but they currently use F-35 for that role which might be sufficient for a long time.

[@dr.j5642]

@@stupidburp yes but that still puts them behind Japan. If South Korea joins, they could have the best air force in East Asia.

I've thought about this but I think SK would rather stay out of a US-China conflict since they have enough on their hands already with NK, so 6th gen isn't such a priority for them, hence KF-21.

[@stupidburp]

Boramae is sufficient to counter PLA AF Flankers and J-10 which are the bulk of their forces. It is also adequate for defending against J-20 and J-35 when operating inside of Korean integrated air defenses and with F-35s and drones to perform as scouts. Tempest would surely be a welcome addition for Korea but replacing their large numbers of F-5 and F-16 will be a higher priority. Boramae in large numbers will also of course be sufficient to absolutely wreck the large but ancient North Korean junk air force.

[@rosedruid]

@@sabin97 most of those big awacs planes with the radar dome are decades old. The radars are big and can see very far. But the technology has gotten better to the point that a radar the size of a fighter nose cone can serve as an awacs. I don’t know the specifics enough to say whether the big radars are still better or if they are similar or if the little radars are just good enough to do the job. It’s kind of like how computers used to take up whole buildings… then rooms then a desk top, then a pocket… then a wrist watch…. The bigger computers are sometimes able to do more but an older big computer might be very similar to a newer smaller one. So there will be a range and sensitivity (plus many small sensors might be able to pick up more than one big one) at which fighter radars are good enough. There will be an upper limit to how much radar is useful. If you made a huge radar using the small tech it could get more powerful still, but the range will only ever be able to reach around the distance towards the horizon. As the earth curves away even a high altitude will be blocked by the earth or start returning orbital objects.

It is impossible, if you were a 4th gen perspective, to understand without seeing it from the inside, how much more awareness that you have. I think it’s part of the reason why Lt. Col. Tucker [former F-35 pilot] said about ‘not needing an AWACS telling him what to do as he had more information than them…’ This isn't to say that an AWACs isn't a valuable tool, and it helps us do things that you certainly couldn’t always do or wouldn't want to do in an F-35. But in my cockpit, I saw this in Raptor and I saw this in F-35 when I went on operational missions in Nellis Test range or anywhere else, we routinely and almost never utilized an off-board system like an AWACS and when we did, we never relied on the information they pass because we had so much high fidelity information.

@@apsoypike1956 Probably just plain 5th gen but well developed. F-22 was bleeding edge and still has issues, and maintenance is intensive. A less-sensitive but more stealthy fighter would just be a refinement. I guess you could call it 5.5th gen like a lot of upgraded 4th gen fighters get called "4.5th gen" but there's so few 5th gen fighters I think it's better looking at the F-22 as an early example that wasn't as refined.

The Japanese F-X artists rendition with the Whale Shark sensor skin pattern looked way cooler than the BAE goofy looking mockup. The SCAF looks very sharp but the model sits on French cinder blocks not very compelling even for an art project. 26:00 great discussion on development money and as Justin Bronk at RUSI has analyzed GCAP will cost much more than has currently been discussed.

My bet: its going to be a high speed, high range, stealthy missile truck, not a fighter in the least. If it ever gets into a furrball then its F-ed up, but thats what the AI wingmen are for. Might even be big enough to carry a few wingmen to drop like land mines and run, if things get hairy.

[@mharley3791]

This is probably the correct bet. A bigger air frame will allow it travel farther (more fuel) and the Allies are currently missing a long range stealthy middle truck (F-35 Carries at max 6 missiles, FX-15 is not stealthy and old). This in theory would avoid duplication of systems, especially considering the F-35, which Japan, UK, and Italy continue to have, will be supported until the 2070s. The F-35 will continue to be the quarter back while the GCAP will be the overwhelming firepower

[@GSteel-rh9iu]

Japanese don't consider software engineering a prestige career; it is thought of as almost corporate clerical work. That and their scrapping of the Mitsubishi regional airliner does not bode well as a whole. Meanwhile BAE worked in a consortium on Eurofighter but that was a while ago. So as a way of keeping the defence aerospace industry going in both the UK and Japan the project is perfect. Replacing the Eurofighter and F-15 will see that GCAP has several hundred airframes in future possible orders.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

I would be surprised if the XF-9 is used in any form. Yes obviously it will heavily influence the design but it’s not a future engine, it’s a current engine. I imagine the core and all that jazz will be completely fresh, with RR more extensive engine experience being crucial. As for Radar I fully expect Japan to be on top, of that, and the UK and Italy will aid in what they know, as their current Gallium Nitride prototype is only partial nitride, and partial arsenide.

[@stupidburp]

XF-9 advantage is a relatively narrow width while maintaining adequate performance. This allows a thin side profile to the aircraft which is more stealthy.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

@@stupidburp of course, that’s not what I’m referring to. EJ200 and F119-PW-100, the engines that power the F-22 and Eurofighter, both first ran in 1990, a third of a century ago. The British and Americans have always been leaps and bounds ahead of the competition when it comes to jet engine design, including the Soviets.

[@lechefski]

​@@jacobbaumgardner3406 It's not that clear cut. RR beat P&W with their tested specs for the F136, and they themselves are impressed by the XF-9. Also, the RR already offered IHI consultancy on the XF-9- and that makes a lot of sense since (publicly) they've only had the time to test modifications to existing platforms and neither country can afford to extend the timeline. I'm hopeful for XF-9, since it was designed from the ground up for these stealth and power generation requirements, and it has a form factor that could really benefit future stealth drones and hence, really improve sales prospects and maintenance costs going forward.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

@@lechefski I would agree with the stealth drones. Not to disparage the Japanese at all, as I imagine the information technology of Japan will greatly benefit the program. However it must be understood that the engines such as the F136 are old designs now, with the F136 being a 2004 design, while the XF-9 wasn’t delivered until 2018. Again Japan is very in on technology, but engine design has historically and currently an Anglo dominated field.

[@lechefski]

@@jacobbaumgardner3406 I'd actually argue that the Brits are well ahead in information technology, heuristics, etc. Anyhow, I'm not saying that the Japanese are on par, but let's not pretend that 30 years in jet engine development is the same as it is for consumer electronics. Also, if RR is on board, I really don't see a conflict of interest for either party, especially now that the Brits are pressuring IHI to look into adaptive cycle. This could be a massive win-win scenario.

Honestly if the plan is to team it with drones why do you need a big internal bay, like each of the drones I would assume could carry at least 1 missile internally assuming they are also going to be stealthy and 2 externally with mountable pylons, although due to weight limits you would have to choose whether you wanted to go with 2 externally or 1 internally and maybe 1 external and 1 internal, but likely you wouldn't bother unless you can drop the pylons and recover stealthiness. Assuming you can team up with at least 4 drones you could cut the bay in half.

[@jhmcd2]

One thing when you talk about the reasons why the US restricts weapons exports is, its bit the US in the butt on multiple occasions. Even today, F-4 Phantoms still makes up a large portion on Iran's air force. But this aircraft sounds less 6th gen and more 5+. Not that this is a bad thing. The F22 and F35 are not the best aircraft for the Pacific, and the new NGAD will need to have both more range and capacity to handel the longer distances there. By focusing this new fighter on range and less on stealth, they could produce a fighter more suited to the region. The bigger the aircraft, the harder to make it stealth. Also, true stealth is pricy and with newer radars more sensitive than ever, even the F22 may one day be fully visible on radar, and without ECM abilities, it wont have a way to defend itself. Thats where the future will be, using technology to "cloak" the aircraft.
