A-6E "Invader" attack aircraft
US A-6E "Invader" attack aircraft
The Grumman A-6 "Invader" was designed as a replacement for the A-1 "Sky Raider". It is the first all-weather combat attack aircraft of the US Navy. It was called A2F until 1962, and was renamed A-6 "Invader" after serving. Its outstanding all-weather combat capability soon made the A-6 the main strike force of the Navy and Marine Corps, and participated in the Vietnam War.
The A-6E is the last mass-produced model in the invader family. It has been upgraded for ground attack missions. The new AN/APQ-148 radar replaces the old model, and the DIANE system is also replaced by a more advanced computer system. At the end of the 1970s, the latest CAINS navigation system was equipped. The CAINS-equipped A-6E can be distinguished by a new air inlet located on the top of the fuselage near the front end of the vertical tail.
