F-4G Advanced Wild Weasel

TYPE
All-weather fighter-bomber

ROLE
The F-4E, the most advanced Phantom variant with extensive ground-attack capabilities and an internal gun became the basis for the F-4G Wild Weasel V (also known as the Advanced Wild Weasel). This modification consisted of removing the gun and replacing it with the APR-38(t) Radar Homing and Warning Receiver and a cockpit upgrade for the back seat to manage the electronic combat environment.

A-12 Avenger II

TYPE
All-weather stealth bomber

ROLE
Designated the A-12 Avenger II, the unique flying wing design was to be a long-range, subsonic aircraft with a large internal weapons load including air-to-surface and air-to-air weapons. Plans for this combat aircraft called for incorporating more advanced stealthy characteristics than were used in the F-117A, as well as significantly greater payload capabilities.
