The descendant of the Lockheed CL-915 was the Lockheed CL-1980 after Lockheed lost the follow-on prototype development and testing phase of the Light Weight Fighter (LWF) competition to General Dynamics and Northrop. According to Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works: The Official History by Jay Miller, the CL-1980 design was introduced in 1973. It was offered in a one and two seat configuration to the United States Navy, but the Navy at the time was more interested in the continued production of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Miller does not explain the model of the CL-1980 in United States Air Force markings or when/or if it was offered for sale to the US Air Force. It seems too early to be a consideration for the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition.The exterior dimensions of the Lockheed CL-915 should match the single seat Lockheed CL-1980.http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4758.msg37599.html#msg37599
