The AM will be powered by a re-cored evolution of the Pulseburst engine used in the Dinomark PT, it will have much more power but lack the thrust response the PT employs for its famous agility. The AM is designed for steady efficient high performance not dogfighting.
Stealth will be key to the AM even including acoustic stealth while operating in atmospheres, here propulsion will switch to 2 fanjets which have a very small acoustic signature. The AM will be equipped by a variety of stand-off and short-range missiles and beam weapons. The AM will also have a minelaying capability, the first time the Dino Army will have such a type in their fleet.
Twenty five AMs are on order from 2115. The related Project ZWU space combat cruiser is now a priority for design lockdown though is not expected until 2117. The XT replacement the Project GHT has been put forward to 2115 as well as the AM and a design lockdown is expected before the end of the Summer.
