近日，五角大楼在2016年国防预算提交案中，推出新的合作研究计划，将为空军、海军开发下一代战机技术。
五角大楼武器买家首席官员弗兰克•肯德尔，周三在众议院军事委员会有关五角大楼技术获得改革听证会上，向议员提出这个项目。
新的研究项目将由五角大楼研究机构，即美国国防高级项目研究所（DARPA）执引。研究方向集中在未来战机机身、发动机技术，运输机和无人驾驶系统。其他方面，研究工作将专注于超越五代机F-35的六代战机所需技术。
海、空军各种新设计的战机常标识为“X”战机，五角大楼以此来表示早期发展中未被命名的武器平台。
海军在早期概念阶段的战机被称为F/A-XX，旨在于2030年前后取代F-18。官员关于这方面透漏很少，可能觉得项目为时尚早，五代战斗机现仍在进行大量审查评估。
有分析认为，连接机身与计算机技术的“智能皮肤”，超巡航能力和高超音速这些设计都可能是研究项目。
联合参谋部资源和评估中心主任、中将马克拉姆塞，告诉HASC议员新项目涉及航空航天领域创新。拉姆塞告诉委员会，“我们正在这一领域研究以及考虑如何应对未来战斗”。
当被议员问到时，拉姆齐说，开发下一代全新战机，取代A-10疣猪，可能需要15年时间。
开发新项目的原因在于，全球范围内潜在对手的技术、军事现代化步伐加快，以及同行竞争对手，如中国和俄罗斯的快速追赶。俄、中都在发展隐形战机，对F-35构成潜在挑战，这迫使美国开发第六代战机。
肯德尔告诉委员会，“我们面临风险，事情正变得更糟。我在离开一段时间后，2010年回到五角大楼。1994年我离开时，情报评估显示，中国对我们够不成什么威胁，但10年或15年后，由于经济快速增长，他们可以。现在看来情报评估是正确的”。
许多五角大楼和国会的报告，详细陈述了中国导弹库，海军舰队、地面部队及反卫星技术方面的快速增长。肯德尔说，自1991年第一次海湾战争之后，美国不再享有压倒性的技术优势。肯德尔在一份书面声明中解释道，许多人记得，第一次海湾战争中美国首次展示了一系列精密制导武器，如联合直接攻击弹药（JDAM）、隐形技术及其他军事创新。这种军事优势持续了25年，使美国在伊拉克、阿富汗、塞尔维亚和利比亚无往不胜。
“当我看到有关中国现代化的报告时，我非常震惊。俄罗斯的现代化要也是如此。冷战后我们军事优势非常明显。第一次海湾战争证明了这一点，自此，我们能有效应对任何一场常规作战。肯德尔称，自2001年以来我们一直参与反叛乱”，“我们的精确打击武器，已经被其他人效仿。”
肯德尔解释，特别是某些潜在对手专门开发技术系统，来对抗美国的高价值资产，如卫星、航空母舰及航空领域。
潜在对手如中国、俄罗斯和伊朗，研究美国的军事优势，并不断缩小差距，在一定程度上，通过部署精密导弹，能够威胁到美国的战力投射能力。
就比如，中国军方正在开发一款远程反舰巡航导弹，DF-21D，分析师称射程可达900海里。然而它是否能够成功打击诸如航母这样的移动目标，还有待商榷。分析人士称，在一定程度上，DF-21D是为了阻止美国航母接近太平洋西海岸。
肯德尔在一份呈向委员会的书面声明中说，“包括俄罗斯和其他国家在内，特别是中国，明显在发展先进武器，以对抗我们的兵力投放力量。即使不太可能与美国开战，很明显，我看到外国在军事现代化上的投资，目标就是要阻止、击败由美国主导的地区军事干预”。
美国依赖高价值资产，如机场、航空母舰和天基卫星，来搜集情报，通信，部署兵力及打击目标。这些资产可能被高科技远程精确制导导弹及巡航导弹当作目标。
大量这些技术先进的精确制导导弹，可能突破美国目前最严密的防空系统。
“我们一直致力于解决这一问题。这个问题相当严重。不仅是导弹，其他如电子战，反卫星等很多技术，这些都是开发来击败美国的投射力量，我们需要应对”。

Pentagon Unveils Program to Help Build 6th Generation Fighter
By Kris Osborn Wednesday, January 28th, 2015 5:41 pm
The Pentagon is poised to unveil a new collaborative research program in the upcoming 2016 defense budget submission which will seek to identify and develop dominant, next-generation aircraft technologies for the Air Force and Navy.
Frank Kendall, the Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer, mentioned the effort Wednesday to lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee at a hearing on Pentagon technology and acquisition reform.
The new research program will involve the Pentagon’s research arm, called the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, or DARPA. It will focus on new airframe and engine technology for future jet fighters, cargo planes and unmanned systems. Among other topics, the research effort will work closely on what 6th–generation fighter aircraft technologies will be needed to build an aircraft to succeed the 5th–generation F-35.
Various new designs for Navy and Air Force airplanes will be identified as “X”-planes, a Pentagon term often used to signify a yet-to-be-named platform under early development.
The Navy is in the early conceptual stages of an effort called F/A-XX designed to replace the F-18 in the 2030s. Service officials have not said much about this effort, in part because it is so early and there is plenty of scrutiny on the fifth generation fighters.
“Smart skins” which connect the fuselage with computer technology, super cruise ability and hypersonic speeds are among some of the technical attributes deemed likely to inform future designs, analysts maintain.
Lt. Gen. Mark Ramsay director, force structure, resources and assessment for the Joint Staff, told HASC lawmakers the new effort involves air and space domain innovation initiatives.
“We’re looking at domains and how we are going to fight the future fight,” Ramsay told the committee.
“We are at risk and things are getting worse. I came back to the Pentagon in 2010 after being away. The intelligence estimates when I left in 1994 were that China was really not much of a problem for us but in 10 or 15 years they could be based on their economic rate of growth. The intelligence estimates were correct,” Kendall told the committee.
When asked by a lawmaker, Ramsay said it would probably take about 15-years to develop a new, fully-developmental next-generation aircraft to replace the A-10 Warthog.
The rationale for the new effort hinges upon a much discussed global phenomenon – the pace of technological and military modernization of potential adversaries and near peer competitors such as China and Russia. There may well be a need for the U.S. to develop and field a 6th generation fighter aircraft because both Russia and China are known to be developing stealth aircraft engineered potentially to challenge the F-35.
Numerous Pentagon and Congressional reports have detailed public information regarding the rapid growth of China’s missile arsenal, naval fleet, ground army and anti-satellite technologies.
Kendall said the U.S. no longer enjoys the overwhelming technological superiority it had during and after the first Gulf War in 1991. As many remember, the first Gulf War featured the combat debut of some precision guided weapons just as Joint Direct Attack Munitions or JDAMs, some stealth technologies and other kinds of military innovations. This military superiority has lasted more than 25-years and has served the U.S. well in Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia and Libya, Kendall explained in a written statement.
“I became alarmed as soon as I started seeing technical intelligence reports on China’s modernization programs. I could say the same of Russia’s modernization programs as well. We came out of the Cold War with a very dominant military. We demonstrated that military conclusively in the first Gulf War and we used it effectively against any conventional force since. Since 2001 we’ve been involved in counter insurgency,” Kendall said. “The precision-munitions revolution that we demonstrated has been emulated by others.”
In particular, Kendall explained how certain potential adversaries are deliberately developing systems and technologies designed to counter U.S. high-value assets such as satellites, air fields and aircraft carriers.
Potential adversaries such as China, Russia and Iran have studied U.S. military superiority and have been closing the gap, in part by fielding precision missiles able to threaten U.S. power projection capabilities.
For example, the Chinese military is developing a long-range anti-ship cruise missile, the DF-21D, said by analysts to have a range up to 900 nautical miles. While there is some speculation as to whether it could succeed in striking moving targets such as aircraft carriers, analysts have said the weapon is in part designed to keep carriers from operating closer to the coastline.
“Some countries, China particularly, but also Russia and others, are clearly developing sophisticated weapons designed to defeat our power-projection forces. Even if war with the U.S. is unlikely or unintended, it is quite obvious to me that the foreign investments I see in military modernization have the objective of enabling the countries concerned to deter and defeat a regional intervention by the U.S. military,” said Kendall in a written statement to the committee.
The U.S. relies on high-value assets such as airfields, aircraft carriers and space-based satellites, for intelligence, targeting, communication and the ability to project power, Kendall said. These assets could potentially be targeted by high-tech, long-range precision-guided ballistic and cruise missiles, Kendall explained.
Large numbers of accurate, technologically advanced missiles such as this could potentially get through the best of current U.S. air defense systems, Kendall said.
“We have been doing some things to try to address the problem. This is a serious problem for the country. It is not just missiles it is other things such as electronic warfare capability, anti-satellite capability – a number of things which I think that are being developed very consciously to defeat the American way of projecting power. We need to respond to that,” Kendall said.
