Candova Aeronautic Defense Systems - Notice of proposed Development Consortium.
At present, Candova Aeronautic Defense Systems, the Inter-regional Aircraft Development Consortium and its constituent members are no longer seeking development partners.
Candova Aeronautic Defense Systems, a newly formed, state-run subsidiary of the Candovian Ministry of Defense is currently seeking collaborative partners and investors to aid in both the development and anticipated assembly of a comparative low-cost, indigenous fifth generation multi-role fighter aircraft. Prospective partners for this research venture would be similar sized entities possessing of relatively modest over-all defense budgets.
Projected per-aircraft, post-developmental costs would be decided upon by this consortium at the time of its formation, based upon the feasible defense expenditures of involved partners.
Involved partners would;
- Commit to a minimum set number of ordered aircraft in order to maintain production longevity and re-cooperation of development costs
- Enter into a full technology disclosure and transfer agreement to limit post-project interdependence in regards to aircraft parts and maintenance
- Obtain unrestricted license production rights
- Aid in determining required capabilities and subsequently aid in sourcing or developing the technologies needed to meet these requirements

Current project goals and requirements ( subject to change )
Aircraft capable of:
- Maintaining a speed equivalent to Mach 2.0 via super-cruise.
- Carrying a wide range of munitions on at least 10 hard-points within internal, low-observation weapon's bays.
- Performing STOL operations from airstrips of less than 2000ft (609m) in length
