Lockheed CL-1200

The Lockheed CL-1200 Lancer was a late 1960s company-funded proposal for a new and improved F-104 Starfighter. It was intended for the export market and was in direct competition with the Northrop F-5E Tiger II Dassault Mirage F1 Northrop YF-17 and the McDonnell Douglas F-4F Phantom. Lockheed hoped to capitalize on its F-104 production experience through commonality of parts and systems and minimize expense by reusing tooling jigs and existing factory facilities.

That was the Lockheed CL-1200 Lancer offered in 1971 to other non-US F-104 nations.1

Vought V-1100 and Lockheed CL-1200 Lancer had been eliminated. The Source Selection Authority, after further work, rated the General Dynamics and Northrop proposals ahead of the Boeing submission.3
