Fortropp Next Generation
In 2011 Kongelig Flyfabrikk began a design study looking into a single type replacement for all currently in service aircraft platforms, capable of carrier based operation across all roles, integrating the latest developments in data sharing and situational awareness technologies. The first recipients of such an aircraft would be the Navy, replacing their current Rapace fighters. The platform is essentially a larger, more capable variant of the J.02 Fortropp. Initial operating capacity is expected in 2022.
