<p>In April 2012, the Navy issued a formal <a href="../Request_for_information" title="Request for information">request for information</a> for the F/A-XX. It calls for a <a href="../Multirole_combat_aircraft" title="Multirole combat aircraft">multirole</a> <a href="../Strike_fighter" title="Strike fighter">strike fighter</a> to initially complement and eventually supersede the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and <a href="../EA-18G_Growler" class="mw-redirect" title="EA-18G Growler">EA-18G Growler</a> aircraft in the 2030s, while complementing the <a href="../F-35C_Lightning_II" class="mw-redirect" title="F-35C Lightning II">F-35C Lightning II</a> and <a href="../UCLASS" class="mw-redirect" title="UCLASS">UCLASS</a> unmanned aircraft, that can operate in <a href="../Anti-access/area_denial" title="Anti-access/area denial">anti-access/area denial</a> environments.

Manned, unmanned, and optionally-manned operations for a highly adaptive platform will be part of the new system.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The F/A-XX is being pursued as F/A-18 Super Hornets will reach the end of their 9,000 hours of service life by the early 2030s. Aside from the option of buying more F-35Cs, the F/A-XX is seeking to create a new aircraft to replace the Super Hornet's capability and mission set. Just as the F-35C replaced aging <a href="../F/A-18_Hornet" class="mw-redirect" title="F/A-18 Hornet">F/A-18 Hornets</a> and complements Super Hornets, the F/A-XX will replace aging Super Hornets in the 2030s and complement the F-35C.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Maximum_connectivity_and_sensors">Maximum connectivity and sensors</h3></div>

<p>Although the F/A-XX platform will be a sixth-generation fighter aircraft, the Navy is reluctant to talk about a new aircraft because the project is still in development, and for national security concerns. A range of next-generation technologies may be explored including maximum sensor connectivity, and electronically configured "smart skins". Maximum connectivity refers to massively increased communications and sensor technology, such as having the ability to connect with satellites, other aircraft, and anything providing real-time battlefield information. Smart skins would have sensors and electronics integrated into the fuselage of the aircraft itself to increase sensor performance while reducing drag and increasing speed and maneuverability.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Open_architecture">Open architecture</h3></div>

<p>An <a href="../Open_architecture" title="Open architecture">open architecture</a> design is desired, allowing for different sensors, payloads, and weapons to be used to meet specific mission requirements and be able to be moved around for multiple different missions on different days or different sorties. The resulting open architecture design is likely to take shape depending on which style of new propulsion system is presented by the aircraft industry.

<p><a href="../Chief_of_Naval_Operations" title="Chief of Naval Operations">Chief of Naval Operations</a> (CNO) <a href="../Jonathan_Greenert" title="Jonathan Greenert">Jonathan Greenert</a> speculated in February 2015 that the F/A-XX would not rely primarily on speed or stealth as much as previous-generation jet fighters due to better signature detection and proliferating high-speed anti-aircraft weapons. Instead, in addition to its protective features provided by its stealth features, technologies, maneuverability and speed, the fighter is to carry a wide array of new spectrum of advanced weaponry to overwhelm or suppress enemy air defenses and ensure survivability and superiority. One approach could create a minimum cost F/A-XX that uses high-cost, high-performance weapons to defeat threats; according to the Navy's <a href="../Cooperative_Engagement_Capability" title="Cooperative Engagement Capability">Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA)</a> battle network concept, an individual platform would not need to have a full suite of sensors and rely on off-board data-linked information from other platforms to provide targeting information and guide weapons launched from the platform. The F/A-XX platforms will be made to carry missiles, have power and cooling systems for <a href="../Directed-energy_weapon" title="Directed-energy weapon">directed-energy weapons</a>, and have sensors that can target small radar cross-section targets; <a href="../Cyber_warfare" class="mw-redirect" title="Cyber warfare">cyber warfare</a> platforms at a tactical level as part of a family of systems are being explored.

<p>In July 2009, <a href="../Boeing" title="Boeing">Boeing</a> first publicly unveiled a sixth-generation fighter concept for the F/A-XX program requirement officially revealing its project development. Its renderings and concepts showed a stealth twin-engined <a href="../Tailless_aircraft" title="Tailless aircraft">tailless jet</a> with two-seat tandem cockpit and a blended wing fuselage. Boeing disclosed that it is intended to be manned or unmanned depending on the mission. The fighter concept is in the 40,000 lb (18,000 kg) weight class. The <a href="../Northrop_Grumman_X-47B" title="Northrop Grumman X-47B">Northrop Grumman X-47B</a> that was chosen for the <a href="../UCAS-D" class="mw-redirect" title="UCAS-D">UCAS-D</a> program has also been proposed for the F/A-XX effort.<sup id="cite_ref-NGAD_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NGAD-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Boeing unveiled an updated F/A-XX sixth-generation fighter concept in April 2013. The concept is a tailless twin-engine stealth fighter available in manned and unmanned configurations. It has <a href="../Canard_(aeronautics)" title="Canard (aeronautics)">canards</a>, which usually compromises frontal radar cross-section,<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> unless designed and managed by software correctly.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The lack of a tail shows an emphasis on all-aspect stealth.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Program_timeline">Program timeline</h2></div>

<p>In 2011, the <a href="../U.S._Department_of_Defense" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Department of Defense">U.S. Department of Defense</a> (DoD) planned to replace older F/A-18C/D Hornets with 220 F-35s. In March 2011, a Navy analysis of alternatives (AoA) showed that it might buy more F-35C aircraft, develop a new platform, or do both for its NGAD fighter program. In a May 2011 report to Congress, DoD revealed that it was considering buying more F-35C fighters to replace 556 Super Hornets.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>On 9 September 2014, the Navy announced that an AoA for the F/A-XX aircraft would begin in 2015. Meetings with industry would be held focusing on building new aircraft to meet the requirement, developing a "family of systems" approach, and discussing mission systems, avionics, and new next-generation weapons systems.

</p><p>On 4 April 2019, the director of Air Warfare in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations stated that the AoA for the F/A-XX was to be completed in the spring of 2019, with a final report due in the summer of 2019.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After the F/A-XX AoA was completed in June 2019, the Navy began the concept development phase of the development process. However, concerns were raised about funding, with Bryan Clark of the <a href="../Hudson_Institute" title="Hudson Institute">Hudson Institute</a> predicting that the program would evolve into a modification of the F-35 or F/A-18 Super Hornet.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Until FY 2024, much of the F/A-XX funding were hidden under a classified <a href="../Special_access_program" title="Special access program">special access program</a> called Link Plumeria, among the DoD's largest research and development programs. Due to budget constraints, the Navy proposed delaying F/A-XX in its FY 2025 budget request in order to focus on near-term investments.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In March 2025, Lockheed Martin was reportedly eliminated from the competition, with a winning design to be selected from <a href="../Boeing" title="Boeing">Boeing</a> or <a href="../Northrop_Grumman" title="Northrop Grumman">Northrop Grumman</a> by the end of month.
