X-47B Unmanned Combat Air Systems (UCAS) Demonstrator
Initially, there will be squadrons of these with one human piloted plane providing escort and additional coordination but there are plans for completely autonomous missions. The "pilots" will be under the flight deck or somewhere else entirely. I have seen simulations where these UCAV and UCAS are equipped with nuclear tipped cruise missiles, given a general mission objective and provisions for going autonomous in the event of a communications linke break. In about 5 years, Skynet will become self aware and we enter the age of Aquarius, then peace will guide the planet and love will steer the stars.
