United States: Section 2a - Market Overview Ongoing Programs & Future Requirements

摘要

As in any other modernized military, the requirements for fighter, attack, and jet trainer aircraft in the United States are driven by two primary factors. First, the ultimate thrust of the market hinges on the geopolitical threat, plus the availability of procurement funds. Second, the type of aircraft required depends on the nature of the threat balanced by the accessibility of the advanced technologies the military hopes will counter it. The economies of combining constrained budgets with multiple military requirements increasingly tend to support the multirole aircraft as the favored solution.
