US Navy prepping an unmanned combat aircraft

US Navy has just unveiled their plans to develop an unmanned combat aircraft that will combat Lockheed Martin’s F-35 joint strike fighter.
Furthermore, to accomplish the project, Northrop Grumman is awarded with $636 million contract to design, build, and fly an Unmanned Combat Air System'‘that would operate from the decks of the Navy’s giant nuclear-powered aircraft carriers’.
Now, if the project goes according to plans, very soon we will see that gunners will join the forces within 10 to 15 years.
Moreover, if we consider our land-based automatic soldiers to fire our weapons as deployed in iraq, then we can forecast that time is not far ahead when a full-blown robotic army will soon wrestle in wars.
