Description
Description | The Indian government is evaluating joining one of the two major sixth-generation fighter programs under development in Europe: GCAP led by the UK, Italy, and Japan, or FCAS led by France and Germany. This participation would provide India access to advanced technologies and could reshape the industrial balance and long-term viability of these programs. The programs are system-of-systems architectures including manned fighters, collaborative drones, AI, and combat cloud capabilities. India's entry could bring funding, industrial scale, and influence internal power dynamics within the consortia. |
