The whole point of shifting the name from FOAEW to MASC was intended to encompass the need to do that expanded role, complete with speed and range requirement. I know the desk officer who wrote that requirement (went on to much bigger things). Unfortunately, there was no horsepower (or BUDGET) availble to drive the logic through - hence the lack of coherence.
