The three countries partnering on the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) have announced an agreement to work to develop an industrial construct for the delivery of the sixth-generation combat aircraft.

Announced on the opening day of the DSEI 2023 defence exhibition in London, the agreement between the three national industrial primes of Mitsubishi for Japan, Leonardo for Italy, and BAE Systems for the United Kingdom is geared towards delivering the concept phase requirements that are scheduled to be launched in 2025.

“This is an airframer agreement to work together on how to put the commercial construct together that will deliver GCAP,” Janes was told by an industry representative on 12 September. “It could be a joint venture, or it could be anything else at this stage.”
