摘要
The rapid increase in programs all over the world for the development of weapons-carrying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is discussed. The biggest single effort, the Joint Unmanned Combat Air System (J-UCAS) managed by the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is budgeted at more than US$4 billion. The French government is pushing the formation of a Dassault-led UCAV project, named Neuron, and Dassault has formally joined forces with Saab and EADS to fly a demonstrator by 2009. DARPA is also involved with the development of the ambitious Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft (UCAR) for the US Army.
