The F/A-18E Super Hornet is a multirole carrier-based fighter developed by Boeing. Greatly improved from the F/A-18A/C Hornet, it has evolved from a medium-sized carrier-based fighter that focuses on ground attack to a multirole fighter that can fight for air supremacy and is capable of attacking ground/sea targets. Surfaces of this aircraft are coated with radar-absorbing material, which greatly reduces its radar signature and gives the aircraft stealth combat capabilities. The F/A-18E has up to 11 hard points and carry almost all U.S. Navy ammunition incl. Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) and Joint Standoff Weapon. As an important carrier-based fighter of the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18E Super Hornet has taken part in the U.S. combat missions around the world in recent years.
