Has anybody heard of the Sabre Warrior UCAV?
This video has been on YouTube since May 2008, but hasn't received nearly the attention it deserves.
Only one reference to the Sabre Warrior has appeared in print, and that was about a decade ago. An Associated Press story on April 17, 1999, quotes Armand Chaput, then-Lockheed Martin's director for unmanned combat air vehicles, who gave a lecture at the University of Toledo.

Only one reference to the Sabre Warrior has appeared in print, and that was about a decade ago. An Associated Press story on April 17, 1999, quotes Armand Chaput, then-Lockheed Martin's director for unmanned combat air vehicles, who gave a lecture at the University of Toledo.
"Chaput showed Toledo engineering students video animations of several Lockheed-Martin projects, complete with video game-style fires and explosions.
One, the Sabre Warrior, was portrayed taking off from an airfield at night, receiving computerized target instructions from soldiers hidden inside enemy lines, and dropping bombs that destroy a convoy of tanks and other armored equipment.
Chaput also showed a video animation of a proposed unmanned plane that would take off from a submarine, unfold its wings while floating to the surface, fly to a target, drop bombs and return to the submarine, where it would be serviced by robots."
