An In-Depth Look at the NGAD Review Expected to Conclude by the End of 2024

An In-Depth Look at the NGAD Review Expected to Conclude by the End of 2024
Story by Stefano D'Urso • 16h


The NGAD program was initially envisioned as a successor to the F-22 Raptor, a new cutting-edge air superiority platform designed to outmatch advanced adversaries in highly contested environments. The centerpiece of the program is a manned 6th-generation fighter, but with rising costs (expected to be in the hundreds of millions apiece) and rapid advancements in autonomous technologies, the Air Force has paused to reassess its approach.
 
The objective of the review is to reassess the requirements for the 6th generation fighter and explore whether the current development strategy aligns with the evolving threat landscape and budget realities. The results could reshape the program, shifting focus from a manned 6th generation fighter jet to a more cost-effective and technologically advanced system of systems.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
