Armament
Top/Wings
  • Wing Powered Turbo Torpedoes (two launchers, one within each thruster turbine; operable at either wing position)

  • Light Incendiary Missiles (three on the underside of each wing)

    Back: 8cm Plasteel Armor exterior, 4cm Plasteel Armor interior (electronics and power distribution housed in between)
    Arms: 4cm Plasteel Armor housing; additional 6cm Plasteel Armor at sides when Dual Air/Ground Wings are in ground position

    Upgrades
    Armament
    Solar Pulse (canopy; a devastating weapon that annihilates anything in front of the e-frame within a few hundred meters, requires recharge period of a few minutes)

    Analysis
    One of the few ExoFleet e-frames designed with atmospheric considerations, the Aerial Attack exoframe is the superior in terms of speed and maneuverability when compared to any other ExoFleet frame. It carries a variety of weapons, so that the Aerial Attack e-frame is capable of offensive operations of any type (ground, atmospheric, or interplanetary). This is the e-frame of choice for many squad commanders.
