America’s Sixth Generation Fighter Will Emphasise Electronic Warfare Prowess Over Stealth or Speed – Reports

報(bào)告稱美國(guó)的第六代戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)將比隱形或速度方面更強(qiáng)調(diào)電子戰(zhàn)能力

Speculation regarding the capabilities of America’s upcoming sixth generation fighter jets have been widespread for over a decade, and have grown considerably in light of the announcement in September that the Air Force had already test flown an early prototype of such an aircraft. At least two sixth generation jet are currently under development, one for the Navy to replace its F-18E Super Hornets, and the other for the Air Force to succeed the Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor in frontline service in the 2030s. The fifth generation Raptor has served in the Air Force since December 2005, but is expected to see an early retirement. Where the primary technological breakthroughs of the fifth generation of fighter aircraft included active electronically scanned array radars and radar cross section reducing stealth airfrxs, the first sixth generation fighters could have a very different emphasis. Improvements in sensor technologies are increasingly threatening to undermine the viability of stealth and outpace the rate at which stealth technologies can provide countermeasures to being detected and locked onto. As a result, America’s next generation fighter could well be much less stealthy than expected, and instead place a much greater emphasis on electronic warfare to remain survivable.

關(guān)于美國(guó)即將推出的第六代戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)的性能猜測(cè)已經(jīng)有十多年了，并且鑒于9月已有消息稱（美國(guó)）空軍已經(jīng)試飛了這種飛機(jī)的原型機(jī)，關(guān)于此機(jī)已有很多的各種猜測(cè)。目前至少有兩種第六代戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)正在研發(fā)中，一種是取代海軍的F-18E超級(jí)大黃蜂，另一種用于空軍以在2030年接替洛克希德·馬丁公司的F-22A猛禽進(jìn)入一線服役。第五代猛禽自2005年12月以來(lái)一直在空軍服役，預(yù)計(jì)將提前退役。第五代戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)的主要技術(shù)突破包括有源電子掃描陣列雷達(dá)和減少隱形機(jī)身的雷達(dá)探測(cè)橫截面，而這第一款第六代戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)有不同的著重點(diǎn)。傳感器技術(shù)的進(jìn)步正日益削弱隱形能力所能提供的對(duì)抗被探測(cè)和鎖定的能力。所以，美國(guó)的下一代戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)可能比降低預(yù)期的隱形性能，而更加強(qiáng)調(diào)電子戰(zhàn)能力以提高生存能力。
