Paramount Bronco II (Ahrlac).
The United States has selected the Bronco II (Ahrlac) multi-role aircraft to take part in the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Armed Overwatch flight demonstration along with the Textron Aviation Defence AT-6E Wolverine, L3 AT-802U Sky Warden, MAG Aerospace MC-208 Guardian and Sierra Nevada Corporation M28/C-145 Wily Coyote.
On 14 May SOCOM announced that it had awarded five fixed-price prototype project other transaction agreements (OTAs) totalling $19 million to five companies for prototype demonstrations in mid-2021. Each company will fly four demonstration flights between 14 June and 23 July at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, Janes reports. If the prototype project is successful, a company could be requested to provide a proposal for a follow-on production award, most likely in 2022.
