Toward an unmanned bomber

Article Abstract:

United States Air Force's Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) is gaining importance as world's first unmanned bomber due to its weight, range and payload. The UCAV is flexible and is a tool for long-range strike, since it loiters over maneuver units on the ground directly with the battlefield airmen.
