    A10 gets new life

    With all the rumors of the A10 being decommissioned,
    I just come across this little snipit of information
    that the A10 will be fitted with the LARS -V12 search and rescue system .
    LARS -V12
    just hoping that this keeps the a10 in commission for a few more years to come,
    How cool would it be to have Search and rescue capability with in the game, bring a whole new level.

    Hey Havoc, the A-10 is "safe" until at least 2021. A lot of things is suite 8 (and beyond ) would be cool in DCS.

    thanks snoopy , i've also heard that there's a small private company that's suppose to be building the next gen warthog.

    Aurora Flight Sciences has been selected to work on a U.S. military project for an unmanned version of the A-10 close support aircraft.

    Its selection as a team member in the Persistent Close Air Support program of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency was made by Raytheon, which is leading the effort.

    Aurora, with extensive experience in robotic aerial vehicles, will be responsible for developing the demonstrator aircraft.

    "Aurora's selection by Raytheon to develop critical air vehicle technologies for the DARPA PCAS program is a major step in our relationship, which began with the Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle and Loiter Attack Missile programs in the 1990s," said John Langford, Aurora's president and chief executive officer.

    "We are looking forward to working closely with Raytheon on a wide range of unmanned systems technologies in the future."

    For the PCAS program, Raytheon envisages development of technologies to reduce the timeline for close air support with "improved coordination among controllers, airborne sensors and weapon systems.

    Other members of the PCAS team include Rockwell Collins and GE Aviation.

    I hope dcs don't replicate this version....
