The Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) is being developed as the U.S. Air Force next generation fighter, to counter the increasing sophistication and threat of hostile air superiority forces around the world. This fighter will replace the F-15, which will he more than 25 years old when the ATF hecomcs operational. Threats which the F-15 can no longer counter will be defeated by the lethal and survivable ATF, with its balance of increased speed and range, enhanced offensive and defensive avionics, and reduced observability. Hmphasis on reliability, maintainability, and other effectiveness factors will keep the ATF flying in the harshest combat conditions with quick combat servicing. The Wright Research and Development Center (WRDC), part of Aeronautical Systems Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, is the U.S. Air Force lead agency for the ATF program.
