The United Kingdom, Japan and Italy will pool resources to build a sixth-generation warplane scheduled to be ready for deployment by 2035, with capabilities understood to include AI to rival never-before-seen tech on fighter jets built by China and Russia, although this wasn’t stated explicitly.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement<\/a> alluding to increasing global tensions, the trio stated: “We are announcing the Global Combat Air Program (GCAP) \u2013 an ambitious endeavor to develop a next-generation fighter aircraft by 2035.”<\/p>\n

The UK, Japan and Italy added that “threats and aggression are increasing” and they were “sharing the costs and the benefits of this investment in our people and technologies. Importantly, [GCAP] will support the sovereign capability of all three countries to design, deliver and upgrade cutting-edge combat air capabilities, well into the future.”<\/p>\n
