Ferret-G is the next version of the Ferret unmanned space fighter, it is capable to flying in atmospheres as well as space and will be a key component of future DDS ground force support and ground attack. The Dinos took the lead on the Ferret-G though the DDS are working on the main attack system. Missileer carrier R106 Bowman has spent the last few weeks testing a shipment of pre-production Ferret-Gs delivered from Dino-Land in November. The testing has now been completed and Bowman has finally joined the fleet.
The UCVs were tested over Proxima 5 and Solaris and were found to be largely successful though engine problems caused 2 of the UCVs to be lost. One exploded because of a failure in the engine sealant and the other lost power in high altitude and had to be destroyed. The Dinos say engine problems should be ironed out in the next production batch due in March 2109 which will also have a pre-production build of the attack system. The DDS and Dinos are hoping to field the Ferret-G in 2110.
The DDS have also announced the third phase of the Ferret UCV, the Ferret-K which will be superluminal. This is not expected to well into the next decade however. As yet the Dinos have not said if they will take part in this version.
