Airbus confirmed that discussions between business and government over the next stage of FCAS have concluded, marking a significant advancement for this European Framework Defense Program.
The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) for the sixth-generation fighter jet network defense module has now entered the construction phase. One of the most expensive and heavily connected government projects in the European region will be this one.
The European Union is now stepping in to secure its territory by producing the New Advanced Fighter Jet while the United States and the United Kingdom have begun work on the 6th Generation Fighter Jet. However, Airbus will be in charge of the project and is also developing the Loyal Wingman aircraft for remote control operation from other aircraft.
To allow a specific contract signing that we must abide by, a number of formal formalities must be done in the relevant nations.
Once the agreement between businesses and the three countries is prepared for final signature, Airbus will share further information about the program and the next steps as soon as possible.

Berlin announced on Friday that France, Germany, and Spain had secured an agreement to begin the next stage of the construction of a new fighter plane known as FCAS, the largest defense project in Europe with an estimated cost of more than 100 billion euros ($103.4 billion).
According to the ministry, it was decided at the highest level of government that the project, which is primarily French-funded, would be conducted in a cooperative manner on an equal basis.
Earlier estimates put the cost of the Future Combat Air System’s (FCAS) subsequent development phase at around 3.5 billion euros, to be split equally among the three nations.
On the way towards the air forces of the future in #Europe, it is once again evident that we can only master the enormous challenges together,” said Defense Minister Lambrecht. #FCAS will sustainably strengthen the Bundeswehr as well as our #partners.
According to a French government source, Airbus and Dassault have reached an agreement to advance the FCAS Franco-German warplane project to its next stage.
