F/A-XX is a development and acquisition program for a future sixth-generation strike fighter to replace the United States Navy's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and complement the F-35C beginning in the 2030s. A requirement was first identified in June 2008. The F/A-XX is the crewed combat aircraft component and centerpiece of the Navy's Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) family of systems. Although identically named and sharing some technology developments, this program is distinct from the U.S. Air Force's NGAD sixth-generation fighter program. In July 2025, it was announced that the F/A-XX program received $76 million in funding for fiscal year 2026 while the Boeing F-47 received $3.4 billion in funding. Congress subsequently increased the program's funding by $897.3 million moving it forward into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase. Congress also directed the navy to move forward with a single EMD contract to accelerate operational fielding.
