The MV-27 was designed and developed to fulfill the KSA's member states requirement for an affordable and light multirole combat aircraft. KSA member states do not necessarily require the most high-end and sophisticated technologies such as those found in fifth generation fighters but it does require a combat aircraft that can be fielded en masse but also in a cost efficient manner. In 2015 the CDF committee commissioned a study to determine whether the MV-27 should be developed domestically, or procured from a foreign nation. Opponents to domestic production of the fighter jet argued that it would be simpler and cheaper to purchase readily made fighter jets from friendly nations such as member states of the Kiso Pact. On the other hand supporters of domestic production argued that the initial extra cost to the program would be much better in the long run as being able to produce fighter jets domestically would is a key step in increasing the KSA's strategic autonomy, allowing the KSA to have its own voice and direction in the geopolitical stage of the world. Ultimately supporters of domestic production prevailed and Mach Aerospace, with its experience in developing the MV-25, MV-26 and Mach-100 series of transport airplanes won the tender process to lead and coordinate the design and manufacturing program of the KSA's first indigenous fighter jet designated as the MV-27.
