The increase will include funds for training and exercises, including at least 34 red and green flag exercises over five years, for an average of nearly seven a year beginning 2017.

Seems like an odd thing to do given that there aren't even requirements out yet... that said the CGI suggests an aircraft optimized for stealth, speed, and persistence over maneuverability.
