According to Aviation Week, the UCAV will have two internal weapons bays and an optional fit of electro-optical and radar sensors. Along with conventional weaponry the air force is also looking at the UCAV as a platform for directed-energy systems - laser or high-power microwave

I deffo saving up for one of these then...
With the money that thing costs I'd get a helicopter license, buy a helicopter, and fly myself. From the leftover money I would buy a tropical island with villa.
