all I know of it is in the title. it looks like somebody tried to find an operational idea for the sea shadow
but well, as I like unconventional designs, I would like to draw it.... if I can find data.

ah, so this wasn't an real design? I couldn't even identify the UCAV, so that might be true....

True but then where would people get to troll?
I'm pretty sure you could make a feasible interpretation of it. I'm guessing the UCAVs would be X-47Bs or Cs but I couldn't see those being able to land easily again on a design like that. Perhaps an air complement of some sort of tilt rotor UAV (BA609 with Fire Scout architecture perhaps)? as well as a few manned helicopters.

about which of the 2 designs are you talking now? I doubt it is an x-47, for the simple reason that those are from northrop and this ship is from lockheed. if you look at the image, you see that they are taking of normal, and landing vertically on platforms. for (manned) helicopters there is an platform on top of the stern.

I agree. still, that seems to be what they envisioned. (just thinking... it could be VARIOUS)
