Budget document discloses existence of secret US Air Force UAV programme

Article Abstract:

Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works is believed to be developing a high altitude, stealthy unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for the US Air Force (USAF) under a secret programme, funded with money taken from the terminated Joint Unmanned Combat Air System (J-UCAS) project in 2006. Sources suggest that the new unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a relatively large aircraft with a wingspan of around 35 m and a 1,800 kg payload.
