Arcerion's fighter fleet is slightly older than most of their Cronan counterparts, with bids for tender still outstanding for a modern fifth-generation jet fighter. As a result, the aged AAI (Arcerion Aviation Industries) Goshawk fleet has undergone consistent and scheduled lifecycle upgrades dedicated to giving it the most modern electronic and avionics systems. The AAI Goshawk is the backbone of the Arcer Air Force, providing the fighter, interceptor, and strike fighter roles. While technically classified as a multirole fourth-generation fighter, the Goshawk is more commonly in use for dedicated roles depending on Squadron. Arcer pilots often refer to the Goshawk as the "Multitool of the Sky," as the Goshawk is no true master of any aerial discipline, but more akin to a jack-of-all-trades aircraft. In addition to fighters, Goshawks provide the Air Interceptor role for the Arcer Air Force, focusing on Aerospace defense, maintenance of Arcer aerial sovereignty and bomber interdiction. | Arcerion's fighter fleet is slightly older than most of their Cronan counterparts, with bids for tender still outstanding for a modern fifth-generation jet fighter.

As part of the emphasis on hybrid warfare and support to Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (SOLIC), Arcerion has recently been focusing on increasing its smaller, lighter aircraft frames that can assist these forces fighting unconventional warfare. With bids out for tender, the new prop or light jets aircraft will have to fulfill a variety of functions to bridge the gap between a large-scale military conflict requiring the use of all fighter and interceptor squadrons and more localized theatres where the usage of a larger footprint is either politially untenable or where austere conditions place a requirement for a smaller more robust aircraft able to operate from airfields with sparse conditions and maintenance facilities. | As part of the emphasis on hybrid warfare and support to Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (SOLIC), Arcerion has recently been focusing on increasing its smaller, lighter aircraft frames that can assist these forces fighting unconventional warfare.
