Background

Federation

The XF-59 Kunai is an experimental fighter designed primarily for stealth. Costing $93,000,000 per unit. Designed to evade detection by a multitude of sensor systems, and to strike targets on all zones of combat.

Stealth

Designed carry durable, low-maintenance stealth technology, using structural fiber mat rather than the high-maintenance coatings of previous stealth platforms similar to the F-35 and F-52s. The jagged edges of the aircraft that radar cross section greatly. Its stealth capabilities also include a reduction in infrared and visual signature. While being able to be detected by low frequency radar, like similar stealth fighters, a low frequency radar system cannot gain a good enough missile lock and must use an X-band radar. Which the aircraft is designed to prevent detection by.

Sensor Equipment

The aircraft main sensor is the Federation AN/APG-85 active electronically scanned array-radar and assisted by an Electro-Optical Targeting System. The AN/ASQ-245 is an electronic warfare system that provides sensor fusion of radio frequency and infrared tracking functions, including geolocation targeting of threats, advanced radar warning receiver, multispectral image countermeasures for self-defense against missiles, situational awareness and electronic surveillance. The system uses 10 radio frequency antennae in the edges of the wings and tail. Multiple passive infrared sensors (Distributed Aperture System) are distributed across the aircraft acts as a missile warning system, identification of missile launch location, detection and tracking of approaching aircraft around the aircraft. Able to function with the Electro-Optical Targeting system to detect missile launches from 1240 miles away, revealing the enemy aircraft location despite a low RCS. The XF-59 Kunai fuses radio frequency and IR tracking for all-round target detection and identification shared by MADL to various platforms without losing its low observability.

Weapons

The aircraft carries a 25mm Gatling Gun firing off 3,300 Rounds Per Minute. Its internal weapons bay can carry multiple load outs of missiles and bombs depending on the situation. Current load out carries 4 Bombs and 4 Missiles but is capable of swapping the bombs out for two missiles each. It also has the ability to mount 6 more hard points on the wings for more weapons. Missiles that can be carried are the AIM-9X, AIM-120 AMRAAM (BVR), AIM-132 ASRAAM, AIM-190 (Optimist), AGM-154 JSOW, AGM-88F HCSM, ADM-160 MALD, etc.
