My colleague Rob Coppinger (see Hyperbola) attended last week's AUVSI North America show in San Diego, and kindly forwarded me these pictures. The slides show the USN's strategy on the only recently emerging F/A-XX competition, which appears to pit the Northrop Grumman X-47 against a future aircraft vaguely resembling a blend between the Lockheed Martin F-35 and Boeing's old X-32 contender.
