The next interceptor for the NS Air Division, the F-12 Hammerhead, has had it's maiden flight though this was supposed to take place last year and this indicates the planned entry into service of 2125 may be missed. The F-12 is a subsonic very long endurance interceptor for the LEO attack role as well as other interception duties.
In service the F-12 will carry three TPM-A missiles as well as air to air missiles. NS plan to built fifty of the type.
