Two new views Japan's potential next-generation fighter and surveillance aircraft are now available online. The National Defense Industry Association recently posted a July presentation by Yasuhisa Ishizuka, director of research for the Japanese military's technical research and development institute.

You can browse the brief on this page by clicking here.

Japan has revealed its stealth fighter mock-up called the ATD-X before, but I believe this presentation offers a great new view of it.

Ishizuka also shows off an all-new concept image of a turboprop-powered long-endurance UAV, although it may simply be a stand-in platform for showcasing new sensor technology.
