i honestly thought they would have gone on with the project, as the Egyptian and NZ forces are flying them in a similar config, from what i have heard the only issue left was getting the software to take a readings for the digital ASI from an analog signal...and our pilots refused to fly them. after that, they were complete. i feel for the guys at kaman and raytheon, as they will be out of a job now, 805 sqn will be disbanded and the 30 staff left will be redeployed. so its not really an issue with them.
one of the sprites was flying last week for a few hrs.
