On Next Generation Air Dominance program, US eyes cooperation with allies
The US has begun discussing collaboration on next-gen air superiority technologies with Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said.

Meanwhile Japan could be a little bit of a wild card in terms of what it has to offer.

“Japan, years ago, they were really up front with the first AESA [active electronically scanned array] radar and the first co-cured composite wing on the F-2,” but in subsequent years have not emphasized developing leap-ahead defense technology, Aboulafia said. One area Japan could emerge as a technology innovator is in the realm of artificial intelligence, “a key missing variable” for CCA.

Meanwhile Australia has been investing in its own Loyal Wingman-style drone, the MQ-28 Ghost Bat, in which Kendall has expressed interest. Unlike the UK’s drone development efforts, the Royal Australian Air Force has already begun flying and experimenting with MQ-28 prototypes, which are made in Australia by Boeing — a US pedigree that could help generate buy in from the US Air Force.

Australia has traditionally not had a large defense industry, but it’s growing “and [unmanned aviation] is what they’re emphasizing,” Aboulafia said.
