The US 6th generation fighter who has finally taken off the veil

　The U.S. Air Force, which has been wrapped in secret veil for a long time, has gradually emerged as the next -generation air dominance (NGAD: NEXT GENERATION AIR DOMINANCE).

　The NGAD program is a US Air Force program aimed at developing a "family system", including the next-generation fighter, which is the successor to the "F-22".

　In general, the next -generation fighter is called NGAD.

　Since the NGAD program contains "air dominance", we will briefly explain "aviation dominance".

"Aviation dominance" is a state in which allies can carry out various operations without a large -scale obstruction when an armed attack occurs, and by securing this, the sea under the airspace.Effective execution of operations and land operations can be performed.

　If you lose an "air dominance", you will be attacked by aircraft and missiles, not only on flight aircraft, but also on ground units and sailing ships.

　For this reason, it is extremely important that fighters will quickly deploy in the strategic airspace and to be able to deal with aircraft and missile air attacks in a further farther.

　In view of the importance of such fighters, each country is focusing on developing fighters.

　By the way, the NGAD program began in the early 2010s, but for a long time it was apparent that the design concept of next -generation fighters was not disclosed and abandoned the development of a new fighter.

　However, in September 2020, Suddenly, the Deputy Secretary of Wil Lopper Air Force (procurement, technology, and logistics) revealed that the NGAD demonstration machine had already been flying.

　And in June 2021, General Charles Brown, Chief of Staff Charles Brown, had a higher payload (missile / bomb-mounted capacity) and a cruising range that would take into account the operation in the Indian Pacific region.I testified.

　In addition, General Mark Kelly, Commander of Aviation Battle Command (ACC), who had attended the same hearing, said, "NGAD is a type with large payload and cruising range for the Indian Pacific region, and relatively short distance to the battlefield.It may be two types for Europe, "he testified.

　Based on the statements of US Air Force executives (the details of the remarks will be described later), the US Air Force's next-generation fighters, that is, the sixth-generation fighter, is a long-lived fighter than the F-22, and the Indian Pacific.It has been revealed that two types are planned for the community and Europe.

　However, US Air Force executives have made remarks about whether the sixth -generation fighter is a manned aircraft, an unmanned or manned or unmanned fighter.

　In the following, the generation category of fighters is first described, followed by the development trends of NGAD, and finally the development trends of the next -generation fighters in Japan and major countries.
