A study was performed to assess the feasibility of using PA technology to support Special Operations Forces 
(SOF) aircraft.  This rack was designed and built at the Lockheed facility near Ottawa, Canada and 
populated with an appropriate subset of PA capabilities.  Being a low-level mission, this logic emphasized the use
of terrain to avoid detection and accomplish the mission in the face of unanticipated enemy activities.
Political constraints prevented the program from completing any useful airborne time.
