Since the introduction of the second generation K45C/K Falcon the Clone Air Force has been tight lipped on what the third generation may look like. It is thought the Clones have looked at clean sheet designs and unmanned fighters however they have decided to continue with the Falcon platform.
The K45M will enter service sometime between 2123 and 2125 and will replace the remaining K40 fleet by the time it becomes life expired by 2130. There are as yet no technical details for the K45M though it may be optionally manned, have a quick-change modular mission facility, and have a synthetic display with augmented reality cockpit canopy (though this could arrive on the K45C during a mid-production refresh).
