This is Lockheed's entry into the UCLASS competition to put a UCAV onto the carrier decks by the end of the decade to round out the carrier wing with F/A-18E/Fs and F-35Cs. Northrop Grumman has been stealing the lime light with the flights of the X-47B. Boeing has its Phantom Ray and General Atomics has its Sea Avenger. It will be interesting to see which is selected.
Lockheed's design is obviously derivative of the RQ-170 Sentinel.
