I would expect that if the Airforce wants a light primary fighter to replace the Viper, that it will end up following the same requirements of the F-35 however without the variants. Carrier/vertical take off.
but in terms of working in an integrated environment, max pilot awareness, stealth. They would follow the F-35 with maybe an add on of Super cruise, agility.
