NASA loaned both aircraft to SOCOM to be modified for a light air support experiment, raising the possibility of reviving the venerable Vietnam-era platform for modern battlefields.

Drawing to a close on 30 September, the Combat Dragon II experiment tested whether the OV-10 could be used in counter-insurgency efforts in Afghanistan.
The idea was to have kitted-up light aircraft support ground troops from quickly prepared airfields.

Naval Air Systems Command, backing the SOCOM effort,
gave the OV-10s a digital cockpit,
a variety of rockets,
including the laser-guided advanced precision kill weapon system,
and an ALE-47 airborne countermeasures dispenser system.
