Two new articles on Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) have popped up recently. Janes has a new article out called UCAVs: Armed and Dangerous that talks about the X-45 and the rapidly increasing US military budget for combat robots like the X-45. The military doubled spending on UAV/UCAV programs between 2000 and 2001; spending on flying combat robots is expected to double again by 2005 and triple by 2007. The Swirling Brain also brought a New York Times article titled Robotic Warfare to my attention.
