Tempest: funding for the future of combat aviation
GCAP has secured an investment of more than $810 million to develop the Tempest project, the UK’s sixth-generation fighter. The funding will allow continued research and development of advanced technologies in this field.
The British Ministry of Defense has awarded BAE Systems the contract to develop the Global Combat Air Program technology further.
