The AT-6. Flexibility for the world s unpredictability. In a world where unpredictability is commonplace and flexibility is critical, Beechcraft delivers robust purpose-built solutions for irregular warfare and counterinsurgency. Enter the Beechcraft AT-6 Light Attack and Armed Reconnaissance aircraft. The AT-6 outperforms the competition and provides a full suite of synchronized, ground-based training capabilities It s also purpose-built for the Light Attack and Armed Reconnaissance mission and leverages billions of investment dollars in the U.S. Air Force s T-6, A-10C and MC-12 platforms. This translates to lower cost and makes the AT-6 available at a fraction of the acquisition, sustainment and training costs of other traditional combat aircraft. as well as an established global logistics infrastructure.
The AT-6 builds on decades of supporting military mission needs. For more than 80 years, Beechcraft has been trusted as a supplier of world-class training aircraft. It s a responsibility we don t take lightly. From the time the company opened the doors in 1932, it has delivered more than 14,500 aircraft to armed forces around the world. During World War II, the company has produced more than 7,400 aircraft for Allied forces. Now Beechcraft offers the AT-6. It s built with the same pedigree as the reliable and rugged T-6 Texan II trainer, but outfitted with a more powerful engine, a full complement of self-protection measures, a robust combat communications suite, an advanced ISR targeting and sensor pod, and integrated with a full complement of light attack weapons.

The AT-6 outperforms the competition. Capable A multi-role aircraft, the AT-6 is capable of meeting a wide spectrum of warfighter missions including: close air support, forward air control, combat search and rescue, armed reconnaissance and airborne interdiction. The AT-6 fills a number of peacetime roles, including maritime patrol, disaster relief and border security. Affordable In addition to low operating costs and low life-cycle costs, the AT-6 shares 85% commonality with the T-6 Texan II, leveraging vast economies of scale associated with an 800+ aircraft fleet. Beechcraft s Sustainable Beechcraft s full-spectrum, tailored logistics support provides USAF-standard O-Level maintenance that uses a state-of-the-art information data system. This ensures maximum operational availability of the AT-6 at the lowest sustainment cost. Interoperable The AT-6 is the only Light Attack Armed Reconnaissance aircraft with proven interoperability in U.S. and NATO command and control environments. While it routinely operates in interoperable missions, it also has the autonomous capability to detect, identify and prosecute targets. proven ground-based training system provider, CAE, maintains a worldwide simulator fleet of devices ensuring realistic mission training and rehearsal at minimal cost.

State-of-the-art weapons integration for the Light Attack mission. The AT-6 sets the standard by employing a broad range of weapons that no other light attack aircraft can match. The AT-6 has demonstrated high-end net-centric and light attack capabilities, as well as full compatibility with U.S. and NATO Joint Terminal Attack Controller systems designed to meet the spectrum of needs for the dynamic Light Attack mission. The AT-6 is capable of operating over 30 weapons and fuel configurations. That gives the war fighter the flexibility to tailor the weapons configurations to efficiently and effectively complete the mission. It is also the first fixed-wing aircraft to successfully employ 2.75" laserguided rockets. AT-6 weapons capabilities include: HMP-400.50-Caliber Guns Practice Bombs Mk-81 (250 lb.)
