However, more recently-developed aircraft with two-member crews such as the F-14 Tomcat, F-15E Strike Eagle and F/A-18F Super Hornet often feature programmable multi-function displays, which allow roles to be more flexible than previous generation aircraft: multiple crew members can be responsible for detecting, targeting and engaging air-to-air or ground targets, communications, datalinks and/or defensive systems.
