Boeing X-46
In parallel with the DARPA/USAF X-45A UCAV effort, the U.S. Navy and DARPA studied a naval carrier-based UCAV under the UCAV-N label. In this case, two contracts for technology demonstrators were awarded in June 2000, to Boeing for the X-46A and to Northrop Grumman for the X-47A. Boeing never disclosed much information on the X-46A, but the overall design was generally similar to the X-45B except for a new wing planform.
