The AT-6 is a multi-role, multi-mission aircraft
system designed to meet the spectrum of needs
for the light attack mission. Leveraging a range
of highly-specialized but off-the-shelf
capabilities, the AT-6 is outfitted with
state-of-the-art equipment such as a Pratt and
Whitney PTA‑68D
engine, CMC Esterline’s mission modified Cockpit
4000, Lockheed Martin’s A-10C-based mission
system and L-3 WESCAM’s MX-15Di sensor suite.
The aircraft has successfully demonstrated
high-end net-centric and light attack
capabilities and full compatibility with U.S.
and NATO Joint Terminal Attack Controller
systems during the Joint Expeditionary Force
Experiment 2010, the Air National Guard
Operational Assessment, and capabilities
demonstrations of precision guided weapons
conducted between 2010 and 2012. The AT-6 leads
the light attack market with purpose-built
capability, affordability, sustainability and
interoperability for the most demanding of
scenarios.
The AT-6 is currently under review as part of
the U.S. Air Force Afghanistan Light Air Support
competition. In June, HBDC delivered its
detailed response for the competition to
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. |
