A current production run of 20 is planned, which will be subjected to live-fire tests, thus above specifications are subject to change depending on findings. When these 20 are tested and altered accordingly, a further 50 are planned, with the previous 103 Wildercat 1s being uprated to Wildercat 2 status where possible.
