Jane's says stubby wings, ospreys & hawkeyes were booted off the list last summer and it's basically SK7's until they fall to bits then shift over the kit to the nearest Merlin. Maybe might happen if enough down the back of the couch is assists from unspecified UAV's as OTH relays and/or sensor platforms.

Not sure if you folks noticed there were 2 contracts awarded: Thales got one for the SK and Lockheed for the Merlin, same sort of stuff - MASC related viability studies.
