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.

To Counter China, India Urged For Predator XP and Armed Avenger UAV’s to U.S.
With an objective to bolster its arsenal amid recurring incidents of incursions by Chinese troops, India has sought the latest versions of unmanned aerial vehicles, both the armed and surveillance ones from US. Industry sources familiar with New Delhi’s interest and ongoing talks between the two governments, said that India is looking for about 100 such drones worth USD $2 billion.

India had requested for the latest Avenger drones, which is basically an unmanned combat air vehicle, and is mainly being sought after with an eye on China. It has also sought Predator XP category which is a surveillance version for internal security issues and terrorist threats. However, while talks in this regard have accelerated in the past few months, the United States has not made any formal commitment or given a public indication pending India’s application to joining Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
Italy, which is upset with New Delhi’s treatment of its marines, appears to have currently blocked India becoming a member of MTCR. However, both Indian and US officials are confident that they would be able to get through the last hurdle in the next few months, thus making them possible to take the defence trade which would include armed drones to the next level. “Yes, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc is aware of India’s interest in Predator-series Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA),” Vivek Lall, chief executive of the US and International Strategic Development of General Atomics told PTI.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems produces Predator series of remotely piloted aircraft. “Due to US export laws, the US government has to approve the export of a Predator-series RPA to the Indian government. GA-ASI remains very encouraged by the recent India-US bilateral engagements at the highest levels and we are hopeful that we can play an important supporting role in these discussions,” he said.
“Predator-series RPA could provide a world-class Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability for India which would include both high-definition radar and Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) coverage along India’s borders,” Lall said in response to a question. Additionally, the RPA can perform humanitarian aid/disaster relief surveillance over both land and sea, said Lall, who had previously played a key role in US sale of high tech military assets to India during his stint at Boeing.
