The DASSAULT/DORNIER ALPHA-JET is a twin seat subsonic fighter bomber that due to its conception and versatile characteristics is particularly suitable for supporting air offensive operations, surface forces operations as well as for the advanced training on bomber fighters and operational conversion training, with the capability of using different weapon configurations. Its equipment allows great efficiency when planning and executing missions. The Head Up Display (HUD) saves the pilot from looking down into the cockpit to read the instruments, by superimposing data on a clear plate mounted at the pilot's eye level. The navigation and fire control computers are rather precise and permit a great flexibility on attack missions. The use of the "AFA" computer makes the planning of a mission simpler, quicker and more efficient. There is also other equipment that allows the crew member to have a good combat survivability.
