The Grumman A-6 Intruder was an American twin jet-engine mid-wing all-weather attack aircraft built by Grumman Aerospace. In service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps between 1963 and 1997 the Intruder was designed as an all-weather medium attack aircraft to replace the piston-engined Douglas A-1 Skyraider. As the A-6E was slated for retirement its precision strike mission was taken over by the Grumman F-14 Tomcat equipped with a LANTIRN pod.
