As VP Sean Ling told Air &amp; Space Forces Magazine, the conversion was straightforward \u2014 the pod was &#8220;essentially modified to incorporate signal capability.&#8221; They have also integrated the <strong>Green Wolf electronic attack weapon<\/strong> and the <strong>Red Wolf low-cost cruise missile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/qrBYXdr7DEI\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:none\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Congress Quadruples the Budget<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=660289878  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/at-802u-sky-warden-hurlburt-field-afsoc-armed-overwatch-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"AT-802U arriving at Hurlburt Field for AFSOC Armed Overwatch testing\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Air Force currently has 18 OA-1K Skyraider IIs delivered.

Michael Conley sold lawmakers hard: the aircraft &#8220;could do exquisite signals intelligence, collect intel, and also be armed with up to 6,000 pounds of payload, whether that&#8217;s Hellfires, rockets, maybe some small cruise missiles.&#8221;<\/p><p>AFSOC wants <strong>75 airframes<\/strong> total, though budget constraints had trimmed the buy to 53.
