DoD Acquisition Case Study of the Air Force Advanced Tactical Fighter Program

Abstract

The original need for an advanced tactical fighter addressing air-to-surface requirements was released in January 1973, but the need for anewer aircraft was withdrawn from consideration due to developments in the A-10, F-16, and F-16 aircraft. In more than 30 studies between1976 and 1981, many Department of Defense (DOD) and industry participants analyzed factors relating to a next generation fighter, includingthreat force structure, mission, performance requirements, and needed technologies.
