It is a twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole fighter aircraft designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. It first flew in 1986 and entered service with the French Armed Forces in 2001. The Rafale B variant is a two-seater aircraft, featuring a tandem seating arrangement for the pilot and the weapons systems officer. It is equipped with a variety of weapons and sensors, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and a 30mm cannon. Additionally, it is equipped with an advanced avionics suite, including radar, a helmet-mounted display, and a data-link system. The Dassault Rafale (literally meaning "gust of wind", and "burst of fire" in more military sense) is a French twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation.

In order to reduce development costs and boost prospective sales, France entered into an arrangement with UK, Germany, Italy and Spain to produce an agile multi-purpose fighter, the Eurofighter Typhoon. Subsequent disagreements over workshare and differing requirements led to France's pursuit of its own development programme. Dassault built a technology demonstrator which first flow in July 1986 as part of an eight-year flight-test program, paving the way for the go-ahead of the project. The Rafale is distinct from other European fighters of its era in that it is almost entirely built by one country, involving most of France's major defense contractors, such as Dassault, Thales and Safran. Many of the aircraft's avionics and features, such as direct voice input, the RBE2 AA active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and the optronique secteur frontal infra-red search and trac
