Lockheed Martin's UCLASS integrates proven technologies from F-35C, RQ-170 Sentinel and other operational systems to provide both the lowest development risk and greatest Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission capability. The UCLASS will be able to provide decisive reconnaissance and targeting for U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Groups (CSG).

UCLASS is envisioned to be a versatile, carrier-based unmanned aircraft system that will provide persistent ISR collection combined with a light strike capability. Lockheed Martin's innovative approach supports the U.S. Navy's efforts to develop an operational UCLASS capability within the current schedule and budget.
