This is the first of a series of dedicated atmospheric fighters, built for urban operations and crowded areas. As such, the R-11 series are built for agility, speed, and versatility rather than firepower. The first versions of the R-11A replaced the missile launchers with a close range, "shotgun"-like interceptor weapon. However, poor performance saw that this weapon was eventually replaced by standard missile launchers.
- Model Name: R-11A "The Great Descendant" Frontier Patrol Model
- Length: 9.6m
- Height: 4.3m
- Width: 2.9m
- Weight: 6.3t
The last mass production model in the R-series based on the R-9. Compared to the R-13A Cerberus, a rival production model, it is highly valued for its capability. Compactly designed specifically for planetary combat, some units were provided for use as armored police vehicles.
Parts:
- Wave Cannon: This weapon is similar to the one found on the r-9d. It has a shorter range but reduces load time and maintenance.
- Bolt Cluster: Multiple electromagnetic shot system designed to attack in a wide spread in front of the ship. Frequently switched by the pilots to missile launchers due to the poor firing distance of the Bolt Cluster.

The Rwf-11A R-Future has the unique ability to Move both before and after an attack, resulting in a craft that can easily harass enemies and fly away to do it again. The other result is a craft that runs low on fuel faster than others.

Trivia[]
- In R-Type Final 2, unlocking R-11A requires complete development of R-9WF Sweet Memories. This is possibly because of the technology upgrade from R-9WF's Illusion Wave Cannon to R-11A's Mini Burst Wave Cannon, both of which work in a similar manner (2 Loop Shock Wave Cannon variants, able to pierce through weak enemies before bursting).
