X-45A (f1883589-c879-5b79-8f11-ac5567a9f9fb)

The Boeing X-45A was a low-observable, jet-powered UCAV technology demonstrator developed for DARPA and the U.S. Air Force to validate autonomous strike, suppression-of-enemy-air-defenses, and cooperative mission-management concepts rather than field an operational aircraft. Powered by a single Honeywell F124-GA-100 turbofan in a tailless flying-wing configuration, the program used two demonstrators at NASA Dryden/Edwards to prove ground-supervised flight, automated re-tasking, and internal weapons-bay release of inert precision munitions. Its procurement relevance is historical: the X-45A informed later U.S. unmanned combat-air-system work, but was not itself acquired for service.
