Japan develops a sixth-generation air combat aircraft. Want to be fitted with stealth capabilities, ie 'counter stealth', so that they can cope with the fighters and unmanned aircraft, barely visible on the radar.
The project is based on the concept of advanced technology demonstrator called ATD-X, who taught the Japanese designers of the world in a recent armaments fairs. Is expected before the end of this year the Ministry of Defense of Japan and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Company signed a contract to launch mass production of the basic equipment for 2016.
The director of a Japanese institute of military engineering, Major General Hideyuki Yoshioka, told the magazine correspondents 'Defence Weekly', which also "technologically develop problems Japan has stealth capabilities." He pledged to quickly make a large aircraft, the type of hunting. China advances to the fifth generation fighter Chengdu J-20 and Russia with the Sukhoi PAK-FA T-50, is the factor that promotes the search for a new technological solutions, the military said.
Yoshioka admitted that the Japanese know how to detect and intercept aircraft distance third and fourth generation, but are uncertain about the capabilities of existing radars to the fifth. So, in his view, developing a anticazas is a vital necessity for the defense of the country of the rising sun.
Experts 'Defence Weekly' assumed that the Japanese initiative could cause some irritation in the military command of its main ally, the United States. Traditionally opposed to the emergence in Japan of devices capable of dealing with modern military equipment available to the U.S. Army. The only remedy to proceed with the project, experts say, is conducted in conjunction with American designers.
