On October 24, 2019, the U.S. Air Force issued a final request for proposals declaring its intent to acquire a new type of aircraft. The OA-X light attack aircraft is a small, two-seat turboprop airplane designed for operation in relatively permissive environments. The announcement of a formal program followed a series of Air Force "experiments" to determine the utility of such an aircraft. Following conclusion of the Air Force experiments, the program passed to U.S. Special Operations Command as the "Armed Overwatch" program, with a goal of acquiring 75 aircraft.
