Hay una parte política que busca eso. Pero está también el problema de que la USAF no sirve como debe a las necesidades CAS
La USAF es la fuerza aérea del mundo que quizás más ha dado CAS, más ha desarrollado la táctica y técnica del CAS, y sobre más capacidad tiene para ello. Pero todo tiene un límite físico.

AC-130W demonstrates maritime attack role
The US military has demonstrated the use of a Lockheed Martin AC-130W Stinger II gunship in a new naval support role.
The work took place from 8-9 March in the Arabian Gulf and involved AC-130Ws, a P-8A and a USNavy Cyclone patrol vessel. The P-8A and patrol vessel identified targets that simulated surface threats, which the AC-130Ws then engaged with live rounds.
According the US Air Force, the AC-130W is equipped with a single 30mm GAU-23 cannon and precision guided munitions as the GBU-39 SDB.
