With the F-10S Shark 2100 now about to enter service the DDS are looking at other parts of their aerial portfolio. The F-10S is a multi-role fighter with a good strike role but the DDS are looking into also fielding a dedicated light-attack aircraft. A DDS spokeswoman informed the media that a project called NDAA (the acronym was not explained but it is assumed to stand for New DDS Attack Aircraft) was begun earlier this year.
The NDAA is expected to result in a small yet agile aircraft capable of transonic speeds and able to carry a variety of bombs and missiles. The DDS plan to unveil finalised designs and specifications next summer.
