The Navy's unmanned drone project gets pushed back a year
For the last few years, the Navy has been working on UCASS, a project to build a drone that'll replace surveillance and attack craft with one vehicle. We've already seen the X-47B demonstrate its ability to fly with manned squadrons and land on a carrier, but it looks as if we won't be seeing it in action until 2023 at the earliest. Unfortunately, it transpires that those higher up the chain have raised concerns about the project's cost and capability, and work isn't scheduled to begin until next year at the very earliest.
