Abstract With the constant change of the concept of combat and the role of technology promotion, the rapid development and extensive application of new and high technologies with aerospace technology, new concept weapons, artificial intelligence, and information network as the core in the military field have brought about historic changes in the form of air combat, the mode of combat and the confrontation environment.With the continuous improvement of adversary air combat capability, the continuous change of combat environment and the development of new aircraft platform, higher requirements are put forward for the development of new airborne weapons. Therefore, starting from the air combat development system, combined with the concept of air combat and equipment development trends of the United States and other military powers, this paper combs the characteristics of the future air combat confrontation environment and its combat mode, and makes research judgment and suggestions on the future air combat concept, so as to provide reference for the future air combat mode research and new airborne weapon research in China.
