Abstract：In 2025, driven by global geopolitical competition and combat imperatives from regional conflicts, foreign intelligent airborne equipment has entered a critical stage characterized by enhanced technological maturity, deepened system-of-systems application, and restructured operational patterns, with intelligentization emerging as a core trend in air combat equipment development. Based on publicly available foreign literature, this paper employs an integrated methodology combining situational analysis, technical survey, and scenario-based validation to conduct research across three dimensions: evolution of operational concepts and patterns, equipment development progress, and typical scenario applications. It analyzes four core evolutionary directions of combat paradigms, systematically reviews domain-specific equipment and technological achievements, and evaluates technological verification and maturity levels in scenarios such as beyond-visual-range (BVR) air combat. On this basis, five development characteristics of foreign intelligent airborne equipment are identified, including a distinct combat-driven orientation. Future development trends are assessed from four aspects: offensive-defensive confrontation, geopolitical competition, and others. The research findings provide important references for understanding the intelligent development trajectory of this domain and conducting relevant research and practice.
