Description

"I think... I see the Reaper coming for me."
― Aigaion pilot during Far Eastern Front

"You better be HUNGRY!"
― Viper, former Bone Arrow One

Callsign: Reaper, is a fighter pilot working with the private military company Arrows Air Defense and Security. He is the fourth pilot of the Bone Arrow Squadron, and is the player character of Ace Combat Infinity's single player Campaign.

The Bone Arrow Squadron was a fighter squadron belonging to Arrows Air Defense and Security before both the squadron and the company were disbanded and its members merged into Task Force 118.

Task Force 118, also known as Arrowblades, is an independent assault force under the command of the Military Staff Committee of the United Nations. 

The reason I put the REAPER in the Silent Archer, is because the aircraft capability "reaping" enemy's radars, sensors, and all kind of tracking systems, instead by avoiding them (stealthily). 

Design:

A specialized electronic warfare version of the two-seat IFX-25S Strike Archer. 

Based on the IFX-25S Mark II, it features improved radar and avionics and has the twin enlarged avionics dorsal compartments which is located at dorsal fuselage and extends to the twin vertical tails. Each adds 30 cu ft (850 L) to the airframe for more avionics with only small increases in weight and drag.

This variant main differences are the addition “canoe shape” pods for Detection, Jammer and Electronic Warfare, heavy modified forward swept wing tips for added cylindric wing tips Jammer – Detection Pods, a dual dorsal compartments, the AN/APG-95 AESA radar, an On-Board Oxygen Generation (OBOGS) system, and a updated board artificial intelligent computer system for improved situation/jamming awareness on air to air and air to surface combat scenario, flight safety, and multi-role mission.

The IFX-25S Mark III or EA-25G for the USAF, given the name Silent Archer taken for its role make the enemy radar and sensors goes ‘silent’ unawarely when this mild stealth aircraft in action. It also able to perform the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) mission.

Not only performed jamming radar, sensors, and missile tracking, it also able to take control several UAV/UCAV and other AI based military warfares. In addition to the radar warning and jamming equipment, the Mark III possesses a communications receiver and jamming system that will provide suppression and electronic attack against airborne communication threats. The Interference Cancellation system will allow Audio-Video communication while jamming enemy communications.

The Electronic Warfare system is supposed to be quite advanced and includes the collaberation of Lambda Corp. and Northrop Grumman “Falcon Edge II” Electronic Warfare Suite RWR together with the AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) based technology Self-Protection Jammer Pods.
