A newer advanced version became available in 2548. It was updated to launch new weapons systems and was fitted with two modular munitions launch racks under each wing, and featured a 25mm five-barreled rotary cannon using  high-explosive depleted uranium rounds. The 50mm nose-mounted cannons were gone, but the rotary cannon could fire eighty rounds per-seconds, and fed from a 950 round cylindrical drum magazine. It was extremely effective against infantry, armored vehicles, and structures.
