The Grumman A-6 Intruder was designed as a replacement for the A-1 Skyraider. It is the U.S. Navy's first all-weather combat attack aircraft. It was known as the A2F until 1962, and was renamed the A-6 "Intruder" after entering service. Its excellent all-weather combat capabilities soon made the A-6 the main strike force of the Navy and Marine Corps, and participated in the Vietnam War.

The A-6A was equipped with the DIANE system, which was considered the most advanced navigation/aiming system at the time. However, the system's stability issues were not resolved until several years after the A-6 entered service. A total of 480 A-6As were built, 47 of which were later upgraded to other models.
