Unmanned is far from the same as a robot.

Any idea (without loose lips sinking ships) what the dimensions are and the parameters (speed, range, etc.)?

This is why so few F-22s are being ordered.

X-47B is from the USN N-UCAS program. Originally a joint program with the USAF called JUCAS, the USAF pulled out and the USN continued on. There was also a Boeing competitor called the X-45C.
If you want the stats, Google the names. There is lots out there.

Yes...I know. It came from Northrup Grumman not Lockheed. But Area 51 was at one time the supposed location of The Skunkworks as sugested by ‘Rocklobster’ and it was to him that I was responding.
