Caliburn, SF-12

Dassault SF-12 Caliburn Aerospace Fighter

                    '''History & Data '''

After operating the SF-6 Schwarzvald for over 1,000 years the UCNA decided it was time for a new fighter and had Dassault draft plans for the new design.

The fighter was very similar in design and overall shape to that of the Schwarzvald but massed ten percent less than its parent design.

There have been six different models of the Caliburn the first three being the A and B which was the original model and the B having an updated suite and only had a single dorsal mounted anti-missile laser and the T Block 1 which also had the same weapons load, the second and third models were the C and D which upgraded the single laser to two lasers [the D model had an upgraded avionics suite over the C] and the Block 2 T model had their single lasers replaced with two; the fifth model was the E which had four lasers instead of two and then of course the block 3 T model which mounted the same.

Other weapon systems included two triple-barrel lasers in the wing roots, a 35mm auto-cannon on the ventral centerline, two internal weapon bays in the aft outside engine sections and two under-wing and ventral hard-points.
