As heralded, #UK, #Italy, and #Japan have merged their #Tempest and F-X future fighter projects into the Global Combat Air Programme (#GCAP). With a @JanesINTEL story inbound, a short thread of some key points... 1/7
While the UK led Tempest and Japan drove F-X, the GCAP will have no lead nation or company. Programme will be a 'partnership of equals', with @BAESystemsAir heading up development on behalf of the UK, @Leonardo_live for Italy, and @MHI_Group for Japan. 2/7
For the UK, #FCAS will continue to address future requirements that include a manned fighter, and other capabilities in air domain. The manned fighter to be developed under GCAP will continue to be named #Tempest, while Japan has not said if its F-X will still become the F-3. 3/7
