LAAR vs LAS

[edit]

This article conflates the LAS and LAAR programs. The LAS (Light Air Support) is Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation #FA8637-10-R-6000. This is the program that the AT-6 lost and that the Super Tucano won. The LAAR (Light Attack/Armed Reconnaissance) Request for Information (RFI) is presolicitation #Light_Attack_Armed_Reconnaissance_(LAAR). Neither of these should be confused with the Advanced Flight Trainer / Light Attack Aircraft (AFT/LAA), Sources Sought solicitation #FA8615-10-R-ZZ01. --Donbock (talk) 19:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There's a lot of information on the subject here, that I don't have time to parse through, but perhaps someone else would find it possible to do so... - The Bushranger (talk) 18:38, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link! I'll take a look when I get some free time, unless someone else beats me to it! -SidewinderX (talk) 19:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Information

[edit]

I was going to add the armament and performance specifications for the competing aircraft, but as another user said it might be better if I were to leave that info on the Planes dedicated wiki pages. Regardless should we put links to the corporations "Light Attack/Armed Reconnaissance" websites dedicated to the competition in a references section? For example http://www.802u.com/ is the Air Tractor page for the AT-802U while Boeing has an OV-10X brochure that has been distributed to the public.

Also should we write a basic description for the A-67 and the M-346. Compared to the others they seem to be lacking.--Lostend (talk) 18:18, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you have links to the aircraft's specific page, feel free to link them in the Light_Attack/Armed_Reconnaissance#External_links section. If you have a source, and can cite it, feel free to add desctiptions of the A-67 and the M-346. Although I'd keep it specific to the variant that plans to be proposed for the LAAR (i.e., not the trainer M-346). -SidewinderX (talk) 00:17, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How about the BuiltForTheMission website? Too adsy? http://builtforthemission.com/las-mission.php Hcobb (talk) 15:00, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merging

[edit]

Shouldnt this article be merged with Counter-insurgency aircraft? Its effectively the same combat type just under a different name?--Blockhaj (talk) 20:28, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is for a specific procurement program for a COIN aircraft ---EngineeringEditor (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
