If we're lucky the Enhanced solution will be a Merlin with all-new transmission and a state of the art sensor/datalink combo. Of course if we're unlucky, the "enhanced" solution will be ASaC7 with new blades.....If only we had a cat n trap ship we could have a real MASC capable of doing strike control and airspace management, as the original MASC requirement (as opposed to FOAEW) intended!

Was reading in JDW last week that the red sea pedestrians are testing conformal electronically scanned arrays on a G-V. Would be very nice married to an S3 or E2 airframe......
