Under the NGAD Program, US seeks alliance collaboration

NGAD fighter will be made independently by US Air Force. But Air Force officials have hinted that the US and its allies might work together

Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) manned fighter will be made independently by US Air Force. But Air Force officials have hinted that the US and its allies might work together to develop technologies.

NGAD's open mission system backbone could give international defense companies more chances to "drive competition".

Japan and the United Kingdom are working together on an air combat sensor suite. Australia has been making investments in the development of its own Loyal Wingman-style drone.

Kendall has indicated she is interested in the MQ-28 Ghost Bat, which is Australia's version of a drone.

Forces Cast- Unlike the F-35 program, which was made by three US military branches and a few international partners, the next-generation fighter for the US Air Force will be made independently, and many of its key features will be kept secret.

But Air Force officials have hinted that the US and its allies might be able to work together to develop technologies that could be "associated" with future tactical aircraft, like the collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) drones that will work alongside the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) manned fighter and the mission systems inside the fighter itself.
