The DDS will withdraw its legacy F-10ASE Shark fighters between 2116 and 2118 when the 48 remaining planes are replaced by a similar number of F-10SNGs.
The SNG is the third wave of the Shark 2100, which was a complete redesign of the original Clone Wars era F-10A. It is likely to have a lengthened fuselage allowing for a larger weapon load, more fuel, it will have uprated engines and avionics.
It is thought the DDS have now officially terminated the F-10X future fighter for the late 2120s and beyond and instead will look at "clean sheet" manned and unmanned options for its eventual replacement of the F-10S from 2130.
