Italy has asked for equitable treatment in the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), which aims to produce a next-generation fighter jet with the United Kingdom and Japan by 2035.
Guido Crosetto, a co-founder of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party, said Rome will make a final decision on how much to invest in the multibillion-dollar project after additional specifics were determined.
The three nations announced the GCAP venture this month to develop a next-generation jet which would combine the British-led Tempest project with Japan’s F-X programme.
The partnership came as France, Germany and Spain moved forward with a rival plan to build a warplane in a broad European bid to strengthen security against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Crosetto said there should be no bar on joining forces with the rival European programme, adding that the GCAP should also aim to find new partners, especially within Europe.
“I think the challenge is to accelerate significantly the research and technology part and then become attractive to other nations in the next two or three years,” he said.
Britain’s BAE Systems PLC, Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Italy’s defence group Leonardo will lead the design of the aircraft, with European missile maker MBDA and other companies also participating.
