MISSION

ENSURE AIR SUPERIORITY

The U.S. Air Force has always been committed to learning and developing new technologies to ensure its aircraft are the most dominant in the sky. 

The highly-classified Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program brings in various partners and experts to do just that.

DEVELOPMENTS

PUSHING THE SKY’S LIMITS

  • The Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program tests, develops and implements new autonomous teaming concepts to modernize the Air Force’s fleet. A single-manned fighter could control a large number of collaborative aircraft, or drones, as a way to optimize their capability and lethality. 

  • Currently in development, the F-47 will be the Air Force’s most-advanced fighter jet and the world’s first sixth-generation crewed aircraft. With longer range, more advanced stealth and higher sustainability, these aircraft will change the future of combat.

  • While new sixth-generation aircraft are in development, the Air Force is upgrading its fifth-generation F-35s and F-22s. Better sensors will allow more precise enemy detection from farther distances while stronger stealth technology will ensure our aircraft remains undetected.

CONCLUSION

NEW TECH.
NEW HEIGHTS.

As technology continues to evolve, the landscape of combat will too. With expert partnerships and tenacious curiosity, the Air Force won’t react to change, it will charge ahead of it and remain air dominant.
