RIP, F-22 and F-35: Are Stealth Weapons Going To Soon Be Obsolete?

DARPA has called for “reduced reliance on increasingly complex, monolithic platforms.”

Key point: DARPA is looking for other ways that U.S airpower can accomplish its objectives even without air superiority
 

Did the Pentagon just admit that stealth technology may not work anymore? Or that America must be ready to face a future where its airpower doesn't control the skies?

DARPA, the Pentagon's cutting-edge research agency, has quietly raised these possibilities as it searches for future technology to fight the next war. And stealth technology may not be the answer.

“Platform stealth may be approaching physical limits,” says DARPA.

The agency also admits that “our acquisition system is finding it difficult to respond on relevant timescales to adversary progress, which has made the search for next-generation capabilities at once more urgent and more futile.”
