Variants
- AMX-T
In 1986, development of a two-seat advanced trainer variant was undertaken. This was intended to provide trainee pilots with experience on fast jets, while still retaining the single-seater's attack capabilities. The AMX-T first flew in 1990 and equips both the Italian and Brazilian air forces.
- AMX-ATA
The AMX Advanced Trainer Attack (AMX-ATA) is a new AMX two-seater multi-mission attack fighter developed for combat roles and advanced training. The AMX-ATA incorporates new sensors, a forward-looking infrared helmet-mounted display, a new multi-mode radar for air-to-air and air-to-surface capability, and new weapons systems including anti-ship missiles and medium-range missiles. The Venezuelan Air Force ordered eight AMX-ATA in 1999 for the advanced trainer and attack aircraft role, but the U.S. Congress vetoed the sale because the aircraft systems include U.S. technology.
- AMX-R (RA-1)
The AMX for reconnaissance, used by the Brazilian Air Force, with a reconnaissance pallet.
- AMX A-1M
Brazilian upgrade of existing A-1 with Mectron SCP-01 Scipio radar, Embraer data Link-BR2, NavFLIR system, Elbit INS/GPS/databus and glass cockpit. New OBOGS system and HMD DASH IV.
