This led to the initial concept of the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn the late 1970s, new Soviet fighter jets such as the MiG - 29, Su - 27, and MiG - 31 emerged successively. These aircraft posed a severe challenge to NATO's air power. In response to this threat, the US Air Force urgently needed a new fighter jet that could be in service by the mid - 1990s.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn 1981, the \"Phase 0\" plan of the ATF project was approved, officially starting the concept exploration phase.
