The U.S. Navy has laid out plans for its next-generation carrier air wing. One with drones, new stealth fighters and better munitions.
The stealth fighter is getting three new weapons, the Navy explained: a networked model of the Joint Standoff Weapon glide bomb, the radar-homing Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range and the swarming Small Diameter Bomb II.
At present, the Chinese navy operates two medium carriers. They have ramps instead of the catapults that are standard on American flattops. Low-energy ramp-launch limits how much fuel and weaponry the carrier’s J-15 fighters can carry—and totally precludes the operation of heavier aircraft in the class of the U.S. E-2.have catapults—as will any future Chinese flattops, most likely. And Beijing is developing new aircraft to embark on the new carrier.
That’s when the U.S. fleet will need a new carrier fighter, the F/A-XX. “The advanced carrier-based power projection capabilities resident in F/A-XX will maintain CVN relevance in advanced threat environments,” the Navy explained.
