Rishi Sunak will soon reveal a partnership between the UK, Italy, and Japan to create a new artificial intelligence-powered fighter jet with the collaborative company, according to the prime minister, which wants to increase security ties and generate thousands of employment for the UK.

The three nations stated in a single statement on Friday that the agreement aims to combine the Future Combat Air System project, also known as Tempest, led by the UK, with Japan’s F-X program to put an upgraded front-line fighter aircraft into action by 2035 and this cooperation will be known as  the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).

“We are committed to upholding the rules-based, free and open international order, which is more important than ever at a time when these principles are contested, and threats and aggression are increasing,” the nations’ three leaders claimed in the report.

The newest weaponry is anticipated to be carried by the new Tempest fighter and to produce a combat aircraft with speed, stealth, cutting-edge sensors, and even artificial intelligence to support the human pilot when they are overloaded or under tremendous stress, work on developing it has already begun. it might also be capable of firing hypersonic missiles and flying without a pilot’s input if necessary.

But because producing such a sophisticated aircraft is very expensive—creating the F35 jet was the Pentagon’s most costly project ever—Britain has been hunting for partners.

Japan’s inclusion is crucial given that Italy was already on board and that Britain is forging deeper connections with friends in the Indo-Pacific area due to concerns about an assertive China.

This deal has economic as well as security implications for the UK. The creation and maintenance of thousands of employees in the UK as well as increased arms exports are hoped to result from the development of a new fighter jet.

The deal comes as China intensifies military operations near Taiwan, which it considers as its own, and in the contested South China Sea, where Beijing has attempted to support its broad claims by erecting military facilities on man-made islands.

North Korea has launched a record-breaking number of missiles this year amid worries that it may soon perform a nuclear bomb test, is another issue that Northeast Asia is now dealing with.

In accordance with its pacifist constitution, Japan has already stated that it expects to quadruple its military budget over the next five years to reach around 2 percent of its GDP (GDP).

According to the statement, the initiative was created with “future interoperability” in mind for the United States, Europe, NATO, and the Asia Pacific. It also had “our allies and partners at its very core.”

According to the statement, “We share an ambition for this aircraft to be the centerpiece of a wider combat air system that will function across multiple domains.”
