Sannsystems Falk

The Sannsystems Falk or JA2000 Falk (JA is the abbreviation for "Jakt og Angrep", Sannligs for "Fighter and Attack") is a sannlig single-engine multi-role combat aircraft, entering service in the year 2000. It has a considerable export success and will remain in production until at least 2040.

Reason for the export success is the in comparison very simple and modular architecture of the jet as well as its low maintenance and operational requirements. As well, the jet can land and take off from short or unsurfaced runways.

JA2000-T/Falk-T
The T-Variant ("T" means "Tvilling", Sannligs for "Twin") is the twin seater variant, which is originally dedicated to fulfill the trainer role. From the B-Standard onwards the T-variant can also more extensively be used in the strike role, by repurposing the second crew member as a weapons officer. The dedicated twin-seat strike aircraft is then designated "TS" ("Tvilling/Slåg", "Twin/Strike") and features a retrofitted datalink and enhanced controlling options for the weapons officer. Via specialised pod solutions the Falk-TS can also be used in the SEAD-Role, although this solutions retains technical limitations.
