Long range hypersonic standoff weapons Long ranged *fast* escort UCAV (Able to cruise with fighters and bombers / conduct CAP) that carries enough magazine depth to present a clear and present danger to even 5th generation airframes. Long ranged *fast & accurate* AI integration of the entire battlespace for near instantaneous dissemination of intelligence data to relevant parties. China is winning point 1 but USA catching up fast. USA is ahead slightly on point 2 but China catching up SCARY fast. USA slam dunked point 3 and is creating a defensive matrix of peerless ability.
Birth of a supersonic UCAV? Yes, it is coming. Both China and the USA are in a race against time - for the first across three 'finishing lines' will have the upper hand when it comes to securing the Pacific theatre.
