Britain said on Monday it was collaborating with Japan and existing partner Italy on its next-generation fighter jet program, with joint concept analysis expected to lead to decisions on deeper partnerships by the end of the year.
Reuters on Thursday reported that Britain and Japan were close to an agreement to merge their next-generation Tempest and F-X fighter jet programs, with the two countries aiming for a deal on a new joint project by year-end."I am a passionate believer in the potential of our burgeoning partnership, not just with Italy, but with Japan," he said at the opening of the Farnborough Airshow.
Britain wants the new fighter to be in service by 2035 and, following its departure from the European Union, is pursuing a program separate from a Franco-German-Spanish plan. Richard Berthon, UK Director, Future Combat Air, said Britain was talking to "serious countries with serious ambitions to invest.""The extent of the alignment we found with Japan, both on the military side, on the engineering side and on the investment side is fantastic," he told reporters at Farnborough.Sixth-generation fighter
Tempest is one of a competing series of sixth-generation fighters in development globally. They have advanced digital capabilities, in areas such as AI and cyber warfare. Tempest is one of two European initiatives for the next generation of air power alongside the Franco-German-Spanish Future Combat Air System, currently mired in divisions between partners Airbus and Dassault Aviation.
