The Clones have begun field trials and tests of a new anti-aircraft system based on the J89 chassis and using the medium-range SA-8 missile. The J15 Ferret has been largely funded by the Dinos though will also be in Clone service eventually.
The J15 along with the second generation J4NG Stoat which uses the latest SA-6A missile are part of Clone Army efforts to renew its field anti-aircraft capabilities. An improved version of the SA-8 missile is also in development (likely to be the SA-8A) and this will probably be the weapon carried when the Ferret enters service around 2116.
