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.
