The GCAP fighter jet program is moving forward as the UK, Italy, and Japan work together to build a next-generation combat aircraft. A joint team called Edgewing has been given the first contract to start designing the aircraft. The new fighter is expected to be ready by 2035 and will work alongside drones and other systems in a connected battlefield. It will use advanced technology like AI and secure communication networks to improve decision-making during missions. The program also brings together companies, universities, and small businesses, making it a major international effort to build the future of air combat.
