Beginning in 1708 AN, the Javelin H-1 Menace would begin to replace the turboprop light attack aircraft which had previously the mainstay of close air support for the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Full scale production of the attack rotorcraft began in 1704 AN and would see 240 airframes completed by 1708 AN.
In common with many designs introduced by Javelin Industries, the Javelin H-1 Menace had its genesis with proposals first put together during the late 1690s, but which would not fully enter into serial production until the manufacturing capacity of the still nascent Federation caught up to the ambitions of its government during the early decades of the eighteenth century after Norton.
