The F–47 Program Total Force Act of 2025

H.R. 6611, the F-47 Program Total Force Act of 2025, would require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to Congress regarding the F-47 advanced fighter aircraft program. The F-47 is a sixth-generation fighter jet currently under development by Boeing as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) initiative. The aircraft is designed to replace the F-22 Raptor and would feature advanced stealth capabilities, extended range, and higher speeds than current fighters. The Air Force intends to procure approximately 185 F-47s, with initial operational capability expected in the late 2020s or early 2030s. The bill would establish congressional oversight of this major defense program by requiring detailed reporting on the program's status and progress. If enacted, this legislation would not directly affect most citizens but would ensure that Congress receives regular updates on a significant military acquisition program that represents a substantial investment of taxpayer resources.
