F/A-18D may perform "hands-off" deck landing with X-47B package
At the AUVSI's Unmanned Systems North America 2009 conference, the U.S. Navy says a F/A-18D could make a "hands-off" landing as early as 2011.

Hardware and software from the X-47B will be modified on the Hornet's autopilot to make it into a surrogate testbed for the UCAV.
