All's fun in UAV combat until a 16 yr old kid of a Russian Mafioso hacks the satellite...
No it was an Muslim kid, but he was just a fall guy for some rich white bastard. (NCIS Los Angeles)

But the concept seems all wrong. I thought the point of UAVs was small, lightweight and inexpensive. This seems like a defense contractor trying to sell a Cadillac to someone who needs a delivery scooter. We already have a UAV that delivers smart missiles. If you need to deliver 2000lb bombs then scale it up. If you need an air-superiority drone then take a gun, stick a jet engine on it and design as much wing and fuselage around it as you need for it to have the flight characteristics you want.
Creating an all-in-one vehicle that can be converted to manned control will result in an aircraft that performs none of those intended roles as well as a purpose built vehicle for each of those roles...and at ten times the cost to build and operate.
This smells like the military industrial complex trying desperately to create a new bottomless pit of revenue.
I think, in general, UAVs should be cheap and flexible, and this does not look cheap at all. I would think that cutting edge performance and stealth is not actually that relevant for UAVs -- if one of them gets shot down then there's no loss of life, minimum loss of money, and the enemy has revealed himself.
As a general rule I'm quite against the military industrial complex that has become our 4th wing of government (the Pentagon) that has ensured we've been at war since the 50's somewhere in the world and will be for an unforeseeable future. Not to mention the large segment of the population that treats war and it's atrocities as a hobby.
But that is one fucking wicked looking UAV.
(and yea, nice 80's music, cg and animation too.)
Reminds me of Wing Commander 3.
everyone who mentions Wing commander 3 gets an upvote..
OK. Super awesome cool looking aircraft. If I make a sci-fi movie I definitely want to cast this vehicle as a central character.
You mean like "Stealth"?

The video is a bit blah though, it's just a concept design. Anyone who's been to an auto show knows that 10 years later the cars coming off the line have very little to do with the concept cars.
