The author discussed requirements for support of future fighters. Conceptual design work is underway for the Advanced Tactical Fighter which the Air Force hopes to field in the mid to late 1990s. Two areas critical to improved supportability are examined: defining the combat environment and improving reliability. Both areas are discussed in terms of new policy guidance and in terms of technical issues now under study. The author concludes that important changes have been made to the way the Air Force approaches the problem of supportability and that research currently underway promises to make future fighters more supportable than current fighters.
