2023 Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace and Power Systems Performance Overview
GLOBAL COMBAT
AIR PROGRAMME
(GCAP)
In December 2022,
Italy, Japan, and the UK
launched the Global Combat
Air Programme (GCAP) to
jointly develop a next
generation fighter, due to
enter into service in 2035.
Co-operation under GCAP allows
us to share advanced technologies
to get the best military
capabilities, share the cost of
development to get the best value
for money, and strengthen the
industrial base of each country.
Future combat aircraft will
need to have greater
flexibility than previous
generations of fighter, and
Tempest will ensure the
UK, Japan and Italy keep
ahead of those adversaries.

The UK already has in excess of 2,800
people working on this programme.
Over 600 of these at Rolls-Royce alone.
We are making rapid progress
and driving even greater pace in
programme delivery, along with
our international partners.
Delivering our ambitious in-
service date of 2035 requires
much faster delivery than
conventional programmes.
