Aside from the sheer expense, the greatest limiting factor in performance has been..............the pilot.

With some improvement over todays aircraft sensors as on the F35, situational awareness will be superior to a pilots eyes. GPS is key however. We along with the Chinese and Russians have the capability to take out the satellites. So it now comes back to a piloted aircraft to sort out the enemy targets.
