Two more pre-production
K-18Ds have been delivered to the
DDS from the
Dinos. These aircraft have the full avionics and system specification and are compatible with DDS ordinance and datalinks. If their testing over the next few months is successful then production will begin of this specification early next year.
The NDAA (Next DDS Attack Aircraft) has also been rolled out within the last few days following modifications to give it an early build of the attack system and sensor suite production aircraft will carry. It will begin Phase 3 testing in a couple of months if ground testing proceeds without any problems.
