Categorization of fighter jets in generations is a classification system used around the world. The basic classification into five generations is widely accepted and recognized. Some accounts have subdivided the 4th generation into 4 and 4.5, or 4+ and 4++.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Fifth generation jet fighters (2005 to date)<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

A fifth generation fighters include major technologies developed during the first part of the 21st century providing them <\/span>a quantum improvement in their lethality and survivability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> The characteristics of fifth-generation fighters are not universally agreed but as<\/span>\u00a0on date these are the most advanced fighters in operation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The technologies that best epitomize fifth generation fighters are advanced integrated avionics systems that provide the pilot with a complete picture of the battle space and the use of low observable “stealth” techniques. <\/span>They typically include agile airframes with super cruise performance, advanced avionics features, and highly integrated computer systems capable of networking with other elements within the battle space for situation awareness and C3<\/sup>\u00a0(command, control and communications) capabilities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Improved situational awareness is achieved through multi-spectral sensors located across all aspects of the airframe which allows the pilot to \u2018look\u2019 through the airframe of the aircraft without having to manoeuvre the \ufb01ghter to obtain a 360 degree picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These aircraft also have capability of operating in networked environment which allows them to receive, share and store information to enhance the battle space picture. Fifth generation \ufb01ghter capabilities are largely de\ufb01ned by their software and it will be the ongoing development of their software that will ensure they maintain their edge against evolving threats.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ffth generation aircraft allows the pilot to maintain decision superiority over an adversary. This provides greater chances of survivability, which when combined with e\ufb00ective lethality, assures battle space dominance.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to available sources, fighters in this generation include the following:-<\/u><\/span><\/h1>\n

Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor<\/span><\/p>\n

Lockheed Martin F-35<\/span><\/p>\n

Sukhoi T-50 PAK FA \/ Sukhoi Su-57<\/span><\/p>\n

J- 20 (Claimed on Paper)<\/span><\/p>\n
