I had to ask google what the heck NGAD is. A really fast aeroplane. Then I got some images of NGADs [which might or might not be actual ones]. I wondered what the heck the cockpit was doing in them. After a few seconds thought I could see that it's nice to have intelligence right there at the sharp end, but latency to Nevada or somewhere could be reduced to nearly nothing by having It on board [aka AI] with a nearby fleet of managing aircraft [1000 km away or something like that] with supervising pilots who could see everything in all directions from the NGAD with tiny little cameras pointing in all directions, including on any missiles fired.

Flying 70 kg of human meat around, with an ejection seat, extra safety equipment, display, joystick and what have you, is quite a burden in weight, and that limits G forces. Pilots are also very expensive to lose.

Little low range NGADs could be launched from big aircraft for improved operating range. With clever AI, they should be able to fly back into a mother-ship.

Little aircraft which weigh not much could turn on a dime, go supery super duper sonic and fly really high and fast. I guess lots of aeronautical engineers are inventing such robot semi-autonomous NGADs.
