The V3E A-Darter (Agile Darter) is a modern short-range infrared homing (“heat seeking”) air-to-air missile, featuring countermeasures resistance with a 180-degree look angle and 120-degrees per second track rate, developed by South Africa's Denel Dynamics (formerly Kentron) and Brazil's Mectron (now SIATT), Avibras and Opto Eletrônica (acquired by AKAER). It was designed to equip the South African Air Force's Saab JAS 39 Gripen C/D and BAE Hawk 120, and the Brazilian Air Force's A-1M AMX, Northrop F-5BR and Gripen E/F. It was expected to be in production before the end of 2015. As of November 2022, no combat capable missiles had been produced.
PLEASE NOTE: Even though this missile is not actually in service our decision to add this particular missile is down to wanting to find some balanced options for each of the three sides in the Armaverse. We thought this would be a good armaverse Independant faction weapon.
