I don't know the particulars about the UCLASS, but the title is a bit misleading.

The Navy still has it's less sexy MQ-8 Fire Scouts. USAF has MQ-1s and the MQ-9 is still in production. There are several other UAS in development and test.

To say the the Pentagon has killed its "Killer Drone Fleet" is not correct.

“To say the the Pentagon has killed its “Killer Drone Fleet” is not correct.”

None of those drones are in the same class. This one was stealthy, flew at high subsonic speeds, and could carry (IIRC) 2 2,000 lb bombs, or a variety of other munitions.
