    AT-6

  • Beechcraft.com

    In a world where unpredictability is commonplace

    and flexibility is critical, Beechcraft delivers robust

    purpose-built solutions for irregular warfare and

    counterinsurgency. Enter the Beechcraft AT-6 Light

    Attack and Armed Reconnaissance aircraft. The AT-6

    outperforms the competition and provides a full suite

    of synchronized, ground-based training capabilities

    as well as an established global logistics infrastructure.

    It’s also purpose-built for the Light Attack and Armed

    Reconnaissance mission and leverages billions of

    investment dollars in the U.S. Air Force’s T-6, A-10C

    and MC-12 platforms. This translates to lower cost

    and makes the AT-6 available at a fraction of the

    acquisition, sustainment and training costs of other

    traditional combat aircraft.

    The AT-6. Flexibility for the world’s unpredictability.

  • Beechcraft.com

    The AT-6 builds on decades of supporting military mission needs.For more than 80 years, Beechcraft has been trusted

    as a supplier of world-class training aircraft. It’s a

    responsibility we don’t take lightly. From the time the

    company opened the doors in 1932, it has delivered

    more than 14,500 aircraft to armed forces around the

    world. During World War II, the company has produced

    more than 7,400 aircraft for Allied forces.

    Now Beechcraft offers the AT-6. It’s built with the

    same pedigree as the reliable and rugged T-6 Texan II

    trainer, but outfitted with a more powerful engine,

    a full complement of self-protection measures, a

    robust combat communications suite, an advanced

    ISR targeting and sensor pod, and integrated with

    a full complement of light attack weapons.

    The AT-6 outperforms the competition.Capable

    A multi-role aircraft, the AT-6 is capable of meeting

    a wide spectrum of warfighter missions including:

    close air support, forward air control, combat search

    and rescue, armed reconnaissance and airborne

    interdiction. The AT-6 fills a number of peacetime

    roles, including maritime patrol, disaster relief and

    border security.

    Affordable

    In addition to low operating costs and low life-cycle

    costs, the AT-6 shares 85% commonality with the

    T-6 Texan II, leveraging vast economies of scale

    associated with an 800+ aircraft fleet. Beechcraft’s

    proven ground-based training system provider, CAE,

    maintains a worldwide simulator fleet of devices

    ensuring realistic mission training and rehearsal at

    minimal cost.

    Sustainable

    Beechcraft’s full-spectrum, tailored logistics support

    provides USAF-standard O-Level maintenance that

    uses a state-of-the-art information data system. This

    ensures maximum operational availability of the AT-6

    at the lowest sustainment cost.

    Interoperable

    The AT-6 is the only Light Attack Armed Reconnaissance

    aircraft with proven interoperability in U.S. and NATO

    command and control environments. While it routinely

    operates in interoperable missions, it also has

    the autonomous capability to detect, identify and

    prosecute targets.

    The AT-6 sets the standard by employing a broad

    range of weapons that no other light attack aircraft

    can match. The AT-6 has demonstrated high-end

    net-centric and light attack capabilities, as well as full

    compatibility with U.S. and NATO Joint Terminal Attack

    Controller systems designed to meet the spectrum of

    needs for the dynamic Light Attack mission. The AT-6

    is capable of operating over 30 weapons and fuel

    configurations. That gives the war fighter the flexibility

    to tailor the weapons configurations to efficiently and

    effectively complete the mission. It is also the first

    fixed-wing aircraft to successfully employ 2.75" laser-

    guided rockets.
