Creating a post now.
We are going to drop back to the last rally point. The Target Acquisition Specialist, also known as Forward observer (FO) will be dropping 130mm mortar fire on the ambush site. The expectation is that the platoon will be off the ambush site and in the last known rally point before the rounds impact and that the incoming Salvesh will arrive at the location about the same time as the incoming mortar rounds. Collins is also expecting a UCAV to come in for additional support, but it has not arrived.

Our UCAV support will arrive as one of hte following:

The [i][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_nEUROn]Dassault Neuron[/url][/i] UCAV carries two laser guided 500-Lb bombs.

or...

[i][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Republic_A-10_Thunderbolt_II#Future]A-10PCS[/url][/i] (UCAV variant of the A-10 Strike Aircraft) carries a variety of munitions including the following:

	30mm GAU-8/A Avenger autocannon (depleted uranium shells)
	AGM-65 Maverick air to surface missiles (TV guided or FLIR)
	Cluster bombs (Laser Guided)
	Hydra bombs (Laser Guided)
	ECM Pod
	AIM-9 Sidewinder Air to Air Missiles

Raytheon and Aurora Flight dropped this idea, but I am speculating here that the Grathik has approved the idea and are using the A-10 Warthog Attack Platform as an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) for their operations on Saina. Why? Because the A-10 is bad ass with or without a pilot.
