The DDSAF has successfully flight tested an attack version of it's RQ-10 Osprey surveillance drone. The MQ-16B has a modified wing able to carry up to 4 air to ground munitions plus modified control software, an improved communications node and better EO sensors. 40 MQ-16B Ospreys have been ordered and should start entering service next year. The MQ-16B is based on the larger RQ-12N Flash version of the Osprey that operates from runways. A reconnaissance version of this (RQ-10B) has yet to be built for the DDS though is likely to follow once the existing RQ-10 order is fulfilled.
In the longer term the unmanned attack asset of the DDSAF will be the LLAD MQ-14 but this is not expected to be ready in numbers until 2112-3.
