The Military Aerospace division is responsible for the design, development, production, marketing, sale and Contractor Logistical Support of tactical and strategic aerospace vehicles for military service with the DoD as well as NATO/Allied Air Forces. The first of all Stavatti aerospace divisions, the military aerospace group precedes Stavatti Corporation by five years when work began on aircraft that evolved into the SM-36 Stalma: the principal program of Stavatti from 1994 through 2005. The most prolific division of Stavatti, Military Aerospace is unique to the industry, conducting the majority of new military aerospace development programs as privately sponsored, Internal Research and Development commercial ventures to satisfy anticipated defense needs.
A practitioner of Selling What We Make, Stavatti Military Aerospace develops products for Direct Commercial Sale (DCS) to allied customers of the United States as approved by the State Department-Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. Stavatti Military Aerospace focuses upon two primary sectors: Tactical Military Aerospace and Strategic Military Aerospace.
TACTICAL MILITARY AEROSPACE
Stavatti Tactical Military Aerospace is responsible for the design and anticipated production of military aircraft and air weapon systems to satisfy tactical mission requirements. Tactical combat missions have an immediate connection to a battlefield activity. Often conducted against a direct enemy threat, tactical combat missions are traditionally flown by fighters and attack aircraft. The primary mission of the fighter is to achieve air superiority over the battlefield. The primary mission of the attack aircraft is to engage enemy surface forces and provide battlefield support, typically through the delivery of air-to-ground ordnance.
Responsible for ensuring instantaneous air defense to preserve national sovereignty and the frontline projection of air power, Stavatti focuses upon the development and production of the following types of tactical aircraft: Multi-Role Fighter (MRF), Light Weight Fighter (LWF), Air Superiority Fighter (ASF), Air Dominance Fighter (ADF), Close Air Support (CAS), COunter INsurgency (COIN), Forward Air Control (FAC), Basic Trainer (BT), Advanced Trainer (AT), Supersonic Trainer (ST), Lead-In Fighter (LIF), Tactical Airlifter (TA), Tactical Reconnaissance (TR) and Space Superiority Fighters (SSFs).
STRATEGIC MILITARY AEROSPACE
Stavatti Strategic Military Aerospace is responsible for the design and anticipated production of military aircraft and air weapon systems to satisfy strategic mission requirements. Strategic air warfare includes missions conducted against distant targets located deep within enemy territory. Focused upon the destruction of facilities including factories, airfields, launch complexes, shipyards, railways and material bound for the battlefield, strategic missions strike at the enemy’s infrastructure and industrial capacity. In so doing, the purpose of strategic missions is to quench the enemy’s will to fight, thereby eliminating the battlefield and the need for tactical warfare.
Strategic air warfare has traditionally consisted of bomber aircraft performing bombing missions. During the Cold War it became apparent that the concept of strategic air warfare as developed during World War II was obsolete, with the term “strategic bombing” becoming synonymous with nuclear bombing. Since the end of the Cold War, strategic air warfare has once again shifted focus to concentrate upon conventional, rather than nuclear bombing. Hence modern strategic air warfare now focuses upon the use of single or mass bombers to deliver precision guided munitions over long range.
Spanning the entire military aviation market, Stavatti will produce a variety of strategic aircraft types including Heavy Bombers, Medium Bombers, Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Heavy Airlift/ Transport, Medium Airlift/Transport, MEDEVAC, Inflight-Refueling Tankers, EW Platforms, C3 Platforms, AWACs Platforms, Strategic Reconnaissance (SR) and Prompt Global Strike (PGS) aircraft.
CURRENT AND FUTURE MILITARY AIRCRAFT
Stavatti is now producing legacy military aircraft while also developing a variety of next generation combat aircraft to satisfy the needs of NATO and US allied air forces. Stavatti can offer both existing military aircraft as well as next generation, cutting edge solutions that will offer superior performance, greater efficiency, reduced maintainability and lower flyaway, operating and total lifetime costs than military aircraft provided by other manufacturers. Committed to securing sovereign nations through air superiority and the ability to project air power in times of war, a summary of specific new and legacy military trainer, fighter and attack aircraft solutions is provided:
TRAINERS
Stavatti can provide a spectrum of military training aircraft ranging from established, proven platforms to new design, next generation aircraft. Able to immediately deliver SM-95 Lasta aircraft, Stavatti leverages legacy aircraft to provide near-term immediate solutions. Spearheading the future, Stavatti is developing the Javelin family of Trainer and LF aircraft to provide tomorrow with a dynamic supersonic solution.

The SM-95 is the Stavatti basic military trainer variant of the UTVA Lasta 95. Produced in Pancevo, Serbia, the SM-95 is a proven trainer that first flew in 2009. Currently in service with the Serbian and Iraqi Air Forces, the SM-95 is equipped with integrated avionics and an all-digital glass panel. The SM-95 is fully aerobatic and offers trailing link landing gear for superior performance from short, unprepared airports. A direct successor to SF260 and similar class trainers, the SM-95 is in production today. Available immediately, the SM-95 first flew as the Lasta 95 in 2009. Now in production, SM-95s are available for delivery.
The Javelin is an Advanced Pilot Trainer (APT/T-X) and Light Fighter (LF) aircraft derived from the ATG Javelin. An affordable, high performance military aircraft, the Javelin is the Stavatti solution to the USAF T-X requirement to provide 350 aircraft to replace the T-38 Supersonic Trainer while also serving as a next generation LF for nations requiring an air defense fighter. A low-observable, 5th generation aircraft, as a LF the single engine Javelin features an internal weapons bay and an integrated sensor and EW Suite. A replacement for T-38s, F-5s and MiG-21s, the Javelin T-X and LF are now under development with prototype first flight anticipated in 2019 followed by delivery of certified production aircraft beginning in 2022
