The Goshawk retained the typical powerplant used by the Hawk, the Rolls-Royce Adour turbofan jet engine. Louis, Missouri, after having transferred work on the program from the company's facility in Long Beach, California. Boeing (which had merged with McDonnell Douglas during 1997) performed the manufacture of the remaining elements of the Goshawk, as well as conducting assembly of the type at a production line at St. BAE Systems (BAe's successor following its merger with Marconi Electronic Systems during 1999) was responsible for manufacturing the fuselage aft of the cockpit, along with the air inlets, and the vertical stabilizer of the T-45 at their Samlesbury facility, while the wings were produced at the company's plant at Brough, England. Work on the production of the Goshawk was divided between the two primary partner companies. Production Ī pair of T-45A Goshawks during a training flight over Texas On 16 April 1988, the first T-45A Goshawk conducted its maiden flight.

During September 1982, a Full Scale Engineering Development contract was awarded to the MDC team to fully develop and produce the proposed aircraft, which had been designated T-45 Goshawk. Reportedly, approximately 60 per cent of the work on the T-45 program was undertaken overseas in Britain. Navy announced that it had selected the Hawk as the winner of the VTX-TS competition.

For their proposal, MDC was the prime contractor and systems integrator, BAe functioned as the principal subcontractor and partner for the aircraft element, Rolls-Royce provided the Adour engine to power the aircraft, and Sperry is the principal subcontractor for the simulator system.

The VTX-TS competition was not simply for the procurement of an aircraft in isolation it comprised five core areas: the aircraft itself, capable flight simulators, matured academic training aids, integrated logistic support, and program management. Other manufacturers also submitted bids, such as a rival team of French aircraft company Dassault Aviation, German manufacturer Dornier and American aerospace company Lockheed, who offered their Alpha Jet to fulfil the requirement. An Anglo- American team, comprising British aviation manufacturer British Aerospace (BAe) and American aircraft company McDonnell Douglas (MDC), decided to submit their proposal for a navalised version of BAe's land-based Hawk trainer. During 1978, the VTXTS advanced trainer program to meet this need was formally launched by the U.S. Navy formally commenced its search for a new jet trainer aircraft to serve as a single replacement for both its T-2 Buckeye and A-4 Skyhawk trainers. In a Supremacy or team match though, players may occasionally have the opprtunity to make a useful kamikaze attack but it rarely alters the tide of battle.The T-45 Goshawk has its origins in the mid-1970s, during which time the U.S. If they have not researched core dump, sometimes a Commander will use their ACU/Control Center as a last ditch attempt to harm their enemy by just dropping a little nuclear gift on their doorstep. However, in a 1v1 Assassination match this is obviously completely useless as it will cost a commander the match. Therefore, attempting to escape in the Control Center is only effective when fleeing from Eagle Eyes or ground based units with limited anti-air capabilities. It is also worth noting that since the pod is at gunship-level, it can be fired on by regular and experimental gunships too. The Escape Pod is unarmed, can fly faster than gunships but is slower than fighters, bombers & fighter/bombers. Its only function is to rebuild the body of the ACU at the cost of 1500 Mass, 7500 Energy and 3 minutes of your time. After completion of the body somewhere on the ground, the head immediately reattaches. The Escape Pod is classified as an air unit, so anti-air units will attack it. (Unless of course the Core Dump ability has been researched) The "death nuke" now only occurs if the Control Centre is destroyed. The body of the ACU is destroyed without any explosion, collapsing on the ground and leaving a reclaimable wreck behind. When the ACU gets into a difficult situation and faces destruction, it is possible to detach the top portion of the ACU from the rest of the unit and escape. It is available to all factions and is functionally identical but asthetically unique for all 3 factions, being based on the command center "head" of the Armored Command Unit.

The ACU Control Center/Escape Pod is a detachable part of the ACU made available though a researchable upgrade for the ACU.
