The AC/A-92 "Night Adder" is a Generation 5 multirole fighter developed for the Inyurstan Navy, and has been adopted by the Inyurstan Airforce and other international services. The Night Adder is a Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) aircraft designed to be able to take off from smaller surface ships, such as amphibious assault ships and LPD's.

Design

This aircraft is created and painted with radar absorbent materials, in addition to its low-RCS frontal shape. Ducted intakes, s-shaped engines, construction and fuel composition help reduce the frontal infrared signature of this aircraft from long distances. It is rumored to have a frontal RCS of 0.002-0.005m², although no formal data has been confirmed by the Inyurstan armed forces.

The primary radar system of the AC/A-92 is the Se90 LAST (Low-intercept Air & Surface Tracking) AESA, a.k.a "Last Call", by Seratto Defense Solutions. This system has a claimed intercept range of 150km for targets with an RCS 1m², and when operating in SAR mode can track up to 24 moving ground targets within a 65km radius. Additional systems include the CAT EYE II Electro-Optical Search & Track (EOST), Sevât-M Counter-Emissions System the advanced LIDACS-III Counter-Measure Suite.

History

The Night Adder was first used in combat in the Greco-Bulgarian War by both the Inyurstan Air Force and Marina Del Gran Cuscatlan against invading Bulgarian NPLA forces at both Alexandroupolis and along the Rhodope Line. It has since seen service in Chuchara and Lebanon with the Inyurstan Navy.

It is expected to serve in Inyurstan and Mericki services until at least 2050.
