Details About Northrop UCAS Operations Emerge
Aviation Week reveal that the X-47B will have stealth protection against both high frequency (anti-aircraft radars and ground-to-air or air-to-air missiles) and low frequency (long-range search radars) emitters.

Northrup Grumman is adapting the two weapons bays to carry 12 SDBs instead of two 2,000-pound JDAMs.

The company also plans to install 600-gallon fuel tanks in the bays for aerial refueling.
