The Hartling-9 is an advanced fourth-generation, tandem-seat, twinjet, multirole strike fighter developed and produced in Utobania. The Hartling-9 is equipped with an AESA radar and is powered by two turbofan engines. Weight is reduced through greater use of composite materials. Hartling-9 units have received radar-absorbent paint to reduce its radar signature, and enhance its suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) capability in conjunction with electronic support measures pods. The cockpit is fitted with helmet-mounted display (HMD) system to improve pilot's situational awareness.
