While speaking with the panel, Taiclet emphasized the importance of piloted fighter jets like the F-35 in maintaining air superiority by sharing information and connecting assets in complex battlespaces.
The growing complexity of the battlespace calls for an all-inclusive approach. F-35s, uncrewed aircraft, artificial intelligence (AI) and more are needed to ensure America and her allies can dominate the skies. Further, military leaders continue to emphasize the essential role the F-35 plays in today’s battlespace.
The F-35 stands ready as the world’s most advanced aircraft, continuously evolving to address tomorrow’s threats. Its current capabilities include sharing data across platforms, leveraging advanced sensor fusion, evading enemy detection, and more.
Today, the global F-35 fleet comprises over 1,000 aircraft, with more than 957,000 flight hours and 624 deployments completed. The F-35 is actively serving and delivering results today.
