The SM-36 STALMA is a sixth generation Multi-Role Fighter suitable for Direct Commercial Sale to US and NATO/allies. Designed to replace F-16C and F/A-18C/E combat aircraft in US and NATO air arms, the SM-36 STALMA is a single engine, high performance weapon system incorporating variable geometry, supercruise, pitch/yaw thrust vectoring, integrated avionics, enhanced agility and low observability characteristics. The SM-36 STALMA will be produced in a number of variants including:

• SM-36 Single Seat Multi-Role Fighter
• SM-36T Two Seat Tandem Strike Fighter or Instructional Trainer

Conceived for maximum performance and combat capability, the SM-36 is designed for all-weather, supersonic operation at both low and high altitudes. Optimized for Air-to-Air Interception, Combat Air Patrol (CAP), Air Dominance (AD), Close-in Air-to-Air Engagements (CAAE- ‘Dogfight’), Carrier Air Defense (CAD), Maritime Strike (MS), Wild Weasel/Anti-Radiation Strike (ARS), All Weather Precision Attack, Interdiction, Battlefield Close Air Support (CAS), Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), Tactical Reconnaissance (TR), Conventional Bombing (CB) and Tactical Nuclear Penetration (TNP), the SM-36 STALMA will counter threats to US and NATO allied air superiority.

Addressing a projected market need for over 6,000 Multi-Role Fighter aircraft during the first third of the 21st century, the SM-36 STALMA has been developed to serve primarily as an EXPORT FIGHTER. Scheduled to enter Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) in 2009-2011, initial Full Rate Production (FRP) of the SM-36 STALMA will result in the delivery rate of 60 to 100 aircraft annually under peace-time conditions. With a per unit flyaway price in the $40 million to $60 million class, the SM-36 STALMA will offer significant capability at a cost competitive price point. Destined for exceptional service, the SM-36 STALMA is an appropriate alternative to the anticipated F/A-35A CTOL JSF and successor to F-16, F/A-18C/E, Mirage 2000, Tornado ADV, MiG-29 and similar class multi-role fighter types.
