Boeing X-45 Joint Unmanned Combat Air System Technology Demonstrator Family
The Boeing X-45 was a family of unmanned, autonomous-aircraft technology demonstrators developed through the Joint Unmanned Combat Air System effort. The X-45A proof-of-concept aircraft advanced low-observable flight, autonomous mission management, and coordinated uninhabited-aircraft operations; later X-45 concepts informed Boeing's Phantom Ray work but did not become an operational aircraft family.
