Citat:This artwork represents the desired end product of an upgrade program proposed by the consortium ATTORN (formed by CASA and Ceselsa) in the late-1980s for the remaining fleet of Spanish Mirage IIIEE/ED.

Canards, replacing the Atar 9C by the 9K50 and a new zero-zero MB Mk.6 ejection seat were considered for a second stage of the upgrade.
