The NDAA light strike fighter has begun the third phase of flight testing, this is with the complete avionics suite and will include weapon testing and integration tests with DDS networks and other weapon systems. An improved build of the turbofan has also been fitted. Flight testing will continue until the end of the year with the final pre-production version due next Spring.
Production examples are planned to enter service before the end of 2110 though full operational status will not be until well into 2111.
