The X-45 model UCAV is designed to fly a 650-mile round-trip
mission, loitering perhaps a half-hour over a target, and drop 3,000 pounds
of guided bombs.
At $10-$15 million apiece, the X-45 UCAV, without all the expensive human requirements
for life-support systems and visual instruments,
would cost about a third as much as the $45 million JSF.
