The DDS light attack aircraft the NDAA has been fitted out for phase 3 of it's flight testing which will begin in the early Autumn. The full avionics suite has now been fitted (though some components are still in development build) and an early build of the attack system and software has been installed. The NDAA will be able to begin weapon testing.
An improved build of the turbofan has also been fitted. Phase 3 testing will take the programme up until the end of the year when the NDAA will then be fitted out to Pre-Production Standard. The DDS are planning for it to enter service by the end of 2110.
