AFSOC to test OA-1K Skyraider II rapid disassembly for C-17/C-5 deployment

AFSOC plans to demonstrate the OA-1K Skyraider II’s ability to rapidly disassemble/reassemble for airlift in C-17/C-5 aircraft, enabling expeditionary deployment in hours rather than days. The command also outlines planned weapons growth (APKWS laser-guided rockets and potential Red Wolf mini cruise missiles), indicating a modular light-attack/ISR platform being adapted for broader mission sets.
