Introduction:
It is a kind of looks like a mix of F-22 Raptor, F-14 Tomcat, and F-15 Eagle. It’s a nice looking jet. And won’t be available for another 15 to 25 years. The FCAS will put two humans in the cockpit.
Airbus’ future strike fighter will command and control drones
Enough is enough. I am fed up to read those nonsensical views of a double command stealth airplane configured as such to monitor at close range in enemy territory a fleet of UCAV with a dedicated backseater.
– Two pilots in a small stealth fighter imparts so much drawback and augment the level of complexities that none of the Stealth fighters produced so far by the only nation having a significant number and type of such fielded are not produced exclusively as SINGLE fighters.
I don’t want to hear in 20 years Mr Enders’ s successor apologizing every then and now for an ill-suited configuration and recurrent deficiencies that plague this program .I don’t want to see anymore the forest of pointed fingers of others lead manager giving for excuses this subcontractor or this or that.
– Cyber intelligence is not a science born yesterday. It has ever been an attempt of computer technologies and is now to the stage of being fielded in various combat application. As an example, small counter UCAVs will field in priority this technology at the lowest level of computing power. There are no other solutions for this mission (you stat on a margin of occurring errors leveled with the acquisition cost and eventual property damages (yes, out of cities interceptor will be comparatively more clever (independent from humans) than their inner-city counter-parts, turning the famous red-necks cliché into a story of the past). Things will be moving at a fast pace given those mandatory conditions.
– Command and order expected communications volume and power through and agile band switching datalink needs will be in favor of space base relays, LDL (?) and ground stations.
Hence, THERE ARE NO SINGLE PARTICULAR REASON TO BUILD A TWIN SEATED FIGHTER AIRPLANE that will have its first operational flight in 20 years!!!!
Sorry for capitalizing the text etc… The leak of R&D money wasted in such a way is just breathtaking .
EoA.
