The development of requirements for new fighter aircraft involves defining threats, targets, and air combat scenarios for the future. Current fighter requirements emphasize the need for close-in combat and beyond-visual-range combat capability to achieve superiority in the air-to-air role. High sortie rates and the ability to perform air-to-surface missions are also primary requirements. Conceptual design and aircraft sizing are used to help define requirements. With conceptual design tools, different fighter designs can be sized for different missions. These configurations allow life cycle cost and effectiveness analysis to be performed, which provide the basis for the definition of the requirement to be constrained to a technologically feasible and economically affordable solution.
