Instead, the D model has been optimized for the all-weather night attack role. Unlike the F-18B trainer, the F-18D does not have controls in the rear cockpit. Instead the aircraft has FLIR, TINS, and other systems that allow it to perform its mission. As such, the F-18D is an exclusive mount for US Marine Corps squadrons, replacing the A-6E Intruder in those roles. Though not able to carry the amount of ordnance and without the unrefuelled range of the older Intruder, the F-18D is faster and, thanks to its newer electronics systems, just as precise as the A-6. Having commonality in many parts with the single seat F-18 is also a major benefit in these days of dwindling aircraft types and increasing costs. The F-18D has proven itself to be a very capable performer in the last decade with wars and conflicts in the Near East and the Balkans, where the Hornet has been called to action. New F-18Ds are still being produced, despite the newer F-18E and F-18F currently being developed. The F-18F is specifically designed to replace the F-14 as a long range fleet interceptor so is not scheduled to be a replacement for the F-18D.
