Astealthy tactical fast jet that is networked, able to collaborate with autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), as well as being interoperable with other space, air, ground and naval assets, is a vision for the Franco-German-Spanish Future Combat Air System (FCAS) project. In effect, FCAS is a system of systems -according to one of its prime contractors, Dassault Aviation - combining a wide range of connected elements operating jointly. The central element is the FCAS fighter aircraft, which is called the Next Generation Fighter (NGF) - early concepts of which had tailless designs but now appear to have incorporated twin tails, similar to the Lockheed Martin F-22 Rapto and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning Ⅱ.
