USAF wants the world to know about this beast.

Achmed the Awful needs to know about it, so he can start spending all his time looking over his shoulder.

Not that looking over his shoulder will actually do him any good ...

"USAF wants the world to know about this beast."

Ummm, this is an Army program. The Air Force is trying to kill both this and the Navy's UCAV programs, and is demanding a monopoly on all UCAV's that can fly over Angels 3.5; not surprisingly, the sister services are telling them to shove it, and are lobbying Congress to keep USAF from getting that monopoly.

This is a pic of the Navy's carrier-launched version that's coming, the X-47B NUCAV.
