HARVEST HAWK project to upgrade SPOOKY's with GBU-44 VIPER STRIKE and or other weapons making them a tank killer as well. HARVEST HAWK is a multi tiered program which will allow the CORPS and possibly AFSOCOM to operate a "light" support air gunships in support of their ops. SPOOKY's to see weapons upgrades by 2011 in coordination to improvements in standoff target acquisition and weapons firing as first posted to this thread and on going at this time (And now maybe we know part of the reason why now.). USMC "kits" for the KC-130J are and will be ready by 2011 as well.
