KAI had a contract with Lockheed under which two Sniper pods were provided for flight and ground testing in October 2020. Both pods were returned after the work.
Apparently the work went well, and no issues are foreseen in gaining the airworthiness certificate. Images posted by KAI show the Sniper pod mounted on the centreline station of a T-50 testbed – the FA-50 is the most advanced variant of the T-50 advanced jet trainer.
Sniper pod integration aboard the FA-50 has long been an objective for KAI. At the Seoul ADEX show in October 2019, the company told FlightGlobal that the integration would take place by the end of 2020.
