	SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB. A radical departure from earlier designs, it performed exemplary in the areas of air superiority and naval operations without major changes to the airframe. In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range. SPACOM managed to win the contract, edging out other competitors without foul play or politics. The designation of '''SF-3 Cerberus''' was given. The variants pertaining to each function are the SF-3A, SF-3B and SF-3C for the air superiority, strike bombing and naval variants respectively. The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches. The C-model has a reinforced frame and landing gear, together with a tailhook and folding wings as well as minor changes to air combat capabilities together with some models featuring a tandem cockpit. The B-model has more substantial modifications, exclusively featuring a tandem cockpit, extended range, increased payload capacity, modified engines and reduced air-to-air capabilities. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">		SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB.

	Due to rising tensions at the very end of the 22nd century acting president Montano deemed it necessary to increase military spending and invest in force-multiplying-technologies. All branches of the armed forces started major changes. The air force was urged to restructure and update some antiquated systems, a key focus being air superiority. The Z-80EL was deemed to not have a big enough edge over near peer adversaries as was thought, so talks were made to start yet another advanced fighter program to start phasing out the now nearly century old Fox. A focus was also made on growing less dependent on foreign technologies. Thus another advanced fighter program was started, aimed to develop a true 6th generation aircraft. In an act that now is seen as visionairy, SPACOM was absolved of their guaranteed contract and made to compete with other manufacturers for the first time in 20 years. The [[Next Generation Universal Airframe Program]] ('''NGUAP''') was started in 2198, with the goal of creating a universal fighter aircraft family capable of air superiority, strike/bombing, naval and electronic warfare abilities while being classified as a 6th generation airframe. All variants were not required to be strictly identical, but all are urged to use common parts to streamline and lower maintenance costs. To get awarded the full contract it was mandatory to design airframes for a naval multirole fighter, air superiority fighter and strategic light bomber which all share common parts. Individual designs, if exemplary, could be considered and with cooperation could be conglomerated into universal ones.

	In early 2184 the air force tactical operations command demanded that a new aircraft be made to fill the niche of the Z-90L, while also succeeding where the SF-1 program failed. This [[Tactical Air Defence and Strike Aircraft]] ('''TADSA''') as it became known was immidately contracted to SPACOM, with the end result being the '''SF-2 Griffin''' multirole fighter. The Griffin was essentially a stealth makeover of the old Crusader, carrying more payload and having a higher top speed. What was ditched however was the iconic 30 mm rotary cannon of the original, since that was deemed unnecessary in its intended role The first airframe flew in 2186, and the first model entered service in 2187. Two models have been made, the SF-2A had minimal production numbers due to a key error that was found when it was first put into service. The SF-2B was quickly made as a comprehensive improvement of the A-model, with advancements in avionics and radar systems, as well as a heavier focus on ground strike capabilities. The B-model has been in active service since 2188. A proposal was made for a C-model which would focus on improved electronic warfare capabilities but as of 2200 no further developments on this have been made.

	Around the same time as the SF-2A model was created, a dedicated Electronic Warfare version of the griffin was proposed. This came about after shortfalls were found with the existing modified Z-90L's and XXX capabilities regarding SEAD operations. In 2190, the '''EF-2B Grizzly''' was officially adopted into active service. Though the air-frame was largely kept the same, the Grizzly had a reduced internal weapons bay volume due to the large amount of EW hardware within the fuselage. On the bottom of the fuselage multiple protruding sensor suites were added, as well as a large integrated jamming pod. External Jamming pods could also be mounted, though these would increase the radar signature of the Grizzly. <gallery widths="300" heights="180">		Around the same time as the SF-2A model was created, a dedicated Electronic Warfare version of the griffin was proposed.

In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range.

The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches.

SPACOM provided their bid, the XFAB. A radical departure from earlier designs, it performed exemplary in the areas of air superiority and naval operations without major changes to the airframe. In terms of bombing capabilities, further modifications would be needed such as a higher flight ceiling and increased range. SPACOM managed to win the contract, edging out other competitors without foul play or politics. The designation of '''SF-3 Cerberus''' was given. The variants pertaining to each function are the SF-3A, SF-3B and SF-3C for the air superiority, strike bombing and naval variants respectively. The SF-3A and C are the most similar, having roughly the same air-frame with modifications pertaining to their respective service branches. The C-model has a reinforced frame and landing gear, together with a tailhook and folding wings as well as minor changes to air combat capabilities together with some models featuring a tandem cockpit. The B-model has more substantial modifications, exclusively featuring a tandem cockpit, extended range, increased payload capacity, modified engines and reduced air-to-air capabilities.
