With the LLAD MQ-14 currently bring prepared for it's first flight later this year the DDS Air Force have begun a programme for a future stealth first-strike attack drone. LLAD will be a subsonic platform but the Future Strike Platform MQ-15 will be a "stealth supersonic penetrator" designed to make the first strike and suppress enemy air defences for explotation by a second wave of manned and unmanned aerial assets. FSP could enter service around 2115 though as yet funding has only been found for initial design.
Meanwhile the second phase of the Ferret UCV programme is progressing well. Ferret-G will have an aerial mode as well and is being developed by the Dinos primarily though the DDS are now showing interest to procure it as a replacement for the current Ferret-E. Ferret-G will also have enhanced space fighting capabilities and extra range. Ferret-G will begin flight testing next year. The DDS have given the designation of MQ-5A to Ferret-E and MQ-5B to Ferret-G.
