-Persistent Close Air Support-
Persistent Close Air Support is a DARPA program that seeks to demonstrate dramatic improvements in close air support capabilities by developing a system to allow continuous CAS availability and lethality to Joint Terminal Attack Controllers.
The program will give JTACs the ability to visualize, select, and employ munitions at the time of their choosing from optionally manned or unmanned aerial attack platforms.

Is it just me or could I have made a better thumbnail to go with this?
@G2 or at least whoever should threaten or America's foreign interests.
If this were to be implemented in real life, i would crap my pants.
The A-10C is fearsome enough when it's manned, imagine Skynet but with A-10's.
Humanity would be super-screwed.
A-10 but it's 6th generation
