STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE HUNTER:

  • AUTO-PILOT: The Hunter is equipped with a computerized auto-pilot, allowing the pilot to relax or even sleep during long voyages. The auto- pilot can be programmed with a single destination or a complex flight plan involving multiple speeds, directions, and destinations. The onboard computer will alert the pilot when the fighter is near its destination, and can also be set to automatically signal when sensors detect objects near the fighter.
  • COMBAT COMPUTER: The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 200 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 25 targets simultaneously. 
  • LASER TARGETING SYSTEM: Range: 100 miles (160 km). Used for increased accuracy in the striking of enemy targets and is partly responsible for the fighter's strike bonus.
  • HUGHES AWG-20S X-BAND DOPPLE RADAR: 150 mile range.
  • RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 300 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
  • STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All RDF come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
  • TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The Hunter cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's flight suit that provides him with pressurized breathing. The RDF flight suit also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot's blacking out in combat.
  • ELETTRONICA RADAR WARNING RECEIVER (RWR)
  • OLDEFT INFRA-RED WARNING RECEIVER (IRWR)
  • WESTINGHOUSE ALQ-200 ACTIVE RADAR JAMMER
