Michael Donnelly said at the Navy League\u2019s Sea Air Space conference. The upgrades will provide more battlespace awareness and improve how naval aviators make decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those technological advancements could help bring the Navy into a new era where piloted and unmanned aircraft operate more closely together, such as with the Navy\u2019s planned AI-operated drone wingmen, known as collaborative combat aircraft, or larger, unmanned platforms that might come in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt could be our last tactical manned fighter that we operate out of the Navy,\u201d Donnelly said. \u201cIt will actually be at a point where we are more man-on-the-loop than man-in-the-loop, and be the bridge to fully integrating towards the hybrid air wing [combining crewed and uncrewed platforms] in the future, in the 2040s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donnelly said the F\/A-XX will allow the Navy to operate in contested environments and outmatch adversaries in ways that surpass the Navy\u2019s current fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe do that today, but we do it at parity because of the capabilities we have fielded today,\u201d Donnelly said. \u201cSo F\/A-XX is going to be that next improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy officials would not say when an announcement on F\/A-XX would be made, but it could come soon. The Air Force\u2019s counterpart to the Navy\u2019s F\/A-XX \u2014 the Boeing-made F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance fighter \u2014 was announced by President Donald Trump in an Oval Office event March 21. Breaking Defense reported last month that Lockheed Martin had been eliminated from the running for F\/A-XX, leaving Boeing and Northrop Grumman as the remaining competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Sea Air Space event, Donnelly told reporters that F\/A-XX is expected to be able to fly more than 25% farther than Navy\u2019s current fighters before having to top up with a refueling tanker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The F\/A-18 Super Hornet has a combat range of about 1,275 nautical miles, and the carrier-based F-35C Joint Strike Fighter can fly more than 1,200 nautical miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s a core attribute of the F\/A-XX,\u201d Donnelly told reporters. \u201cIt will definitely have longer inherent range, and then with refueling, you could say that\u2019s indefinite, as long as refueling is available.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Air Force awarded a contract to Boeing to build its sixth-generation jet, dubbed the F-47, and the Navy&#8217;s award could come soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":108557,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":12,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,12,25,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3225],"class_list":["post-78889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"7JTC7I67SNB5FCMYJZGC4RA53A","arc_canonical_url":"\/air\/2025\/04\/08\/fa-xx-could-be-navys-last-piloted-fighter-bring-greater-range\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
