Question 2 of 5
2. Question
-
With reference to the evolution of fighter aircraft generations, consider the following statements:
-
The transition from fourth to fifth-generation fighters marked a shift from platform-centric to network-centric warfare, emphasizing real-time data fusion across multiple combat systems.
-
Supercruise and stealth technologies are mutually exclusive in current fifth-generation fighters due to the high infrared signature generated during sustained supersonic flight.
-
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous decision-support systems is a definitive hallmark distinguishing fifth-generation aircraft from earlier generations.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Solution: (b).
Explanation:
- Statement 1 –Fifth-generation fighters prioritize network-centric capabilities, enabling them to operate as data hubs and share intelligence across the battlefield in real-time. This marks a major shift from earlier platform-centric doctrines. Hence the statement is Correct
- Statement 2 –Super cruise and stealth are not mutually exclusive. The F-22 Raptor is a key example of a jet capable of both. While supercruise generates heat, stealth aircraft are designed to minimize radar and IR signatures simultaneously using materials and shaping. Hence the statement is Incorrect
- Statement 3 –Integration of AI, including threat recognition, pilot support, and predictive diagnostics, is a hallmark of fifth-generation design — not seen in earlier generations. Hence the statement is Correct
Incorrect
