Under United States Navy's Unmanned Carrier Launched Surveilance and Strike system or UCLASS program, the X-47B of Navy had acomplished the tests. Navy's UCAS-D's carrier flight tests and aerial refuelling tests from the USS Theodore Roosevelt which is known also as CVN-71 was very successful. This aircraft and the ground control systems along with all other systems developed by the Northrop Grummen. Through the extensive flight tests Navy expecting the system's operational induction during 2020 time frame.

Aerial refueling tests of X-47B enhances the opportunities of the Navy to reduce manned aircrafts in the battle field. X-47B conducts it's Autonomous Aerial Refuelling from an Omega Tanker!

On Friday May 17, the US Navy's X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstrator took another historic step as it conducted its first touch-and-go landings on the nuclear aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush off the coast of Virginia. This maneuver is a critical achievement in the Navy’s program to develop an autonomous, unmanned, jet-powered combat aircraft capable for operating from a carrier.

A touch-and-go landing is where an aircraft touches its wheels to a runway or flight deck, but does not come to a full stop. Instead, it throttles up and takes off again. Several high end take-off and laning tests were took for the full evaluation of X-47B's carrier operations. These experimental tests helps to improve set up UCS-D's future operational guidelines to elevate proper mission planing.

The Northrop Grumman X-47B  is a technology demonstrator unmanned combat air vehicle designed for aircraft carrier-based operations. Its been developed by the Northrop Grumman. The X-47 program began as part of DARPA's J-UCAS program, and U.S. Navy integrated it as it's Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration program. 

The X-47B is a fyling-wing body aircraft powered by 1 Pratt & Whitney F100-220U turbofan engine capable of semi-autonomous operation & aerial refuelling.

In 2011 X-47B first flew, and then in 2015. There are two active demonstrators have undergone extensive flight & operational integration testing. This prestigious bird successfully performed a series of land & carrier-based flight demonstrations In August 2014. US Navy had integrated the X-47B into carrier operations alongside manned aircraft and by May 2015 the aircraft's primary test program was declared complete, had been announced by the Navy.

Northrop Grumman intends to develop the prototype X-47B into a battlefield-ready aircraft, the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike system or UCLASS, which will enter service in the 2020s.
