Fifth generation warfare has been described by Daniel Abbot as a war of "information and perception". [1] There is no widely agreed upon definition of fifth-generation warfare, [2] and it has been rejected by some scholars, including William S. Lind, who was one of the original theorists of fourth-generation warfare. [3]
Fifth-generation warfare is conducted primarily through non-kinetic military action, such as social engineering, misinformation, and cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems. Fifth generation warfare has been described by Daniel Abbot as a war of "information and perception".
With the fifth generation slowly coming into service, attention turned to a replacement sixth generation. The requirements for such a fighter remain under debate. Fifth-generation abilities for battlefield survivability, air superiority and ground support are being enhanced and adapted to the future threat environment.
All revealed fifth-generation fighters use commercial off-the-shelf main processors to directly control all sensors to form a consolidated view of the battlespace with both onboard and networked sensors, while previous-generation jet fighters used federated systems where each sensor or pod would present its own readings for the pilot to combine in their own mind a view of the battlespace.
The historical analysis used to justify the concept of fifth dimension operations being developed was the notion that: Land warfare was defined first by human energy (infantry) and then by animal energy (cavalry) in a three-dimensional medieval era, and then by mechanical energy in the four-dimensional modern era.

Training with mixed generations allows pilots to become familiar with fifth-generation aircraft, and to develop tactics both for and against them. [182] Chinese Ministry of National Defense also revealed that J-20 has conducted night confrontation missions during several coordinated tactical training exercises.
