| Description |
This 5 minute 25 second movie clip shows the X-45A/UCAV project overview and autonomous formation maneuver over Edwards Air Force Base The Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) system demonstration program is a joint DARPA/Air Force/Boeing effort to demonstrate the technical feasibility for a UCAV system to conduct various strike missions within the emerging global command and control architecture. The demonstrations within the program are providing the information necessary to enable decision-makers to determine whether it is technically and fiscally prudent to continue development of UCAV aircraft to perform missions. The Dryden Flight Research Center role in the UCAV program is providing technical expertise and facilities support for the UCAV X-45A under a 1999 agreement with DARPA and The Boeing Company. The X-45A consists of two UCAV demonstration aircraft that will be used in advance of fielding operational systems around 2008. |
