Sure.Colorado University X-BW Devil RayType Experimental tactical UAV.Development Sponsored since October 2000 by General Dynamics, the X-BW (Experimental Box Wing) Devil Ray is a small-scale TUAV built as a vehicle for flight testing various UAV payloads under development by that company. It was inaugurated by Colorado University in March 2000 as a UCAV feasibility testbed, with particular regard to remote payload delivery and autonomous operation. A one-tenth-scale model was tested in the Kansas University wind tunnel in November 2000, shortly after construction of the flying prototype had begun. Taxi trials began on 7 December 2001, and the first flight was made on 15 April 2002 from the El Mirage dry lakebeds in California. This aircraft was unfortunately destroyed in a crash two days later, but a second prototype was later completed and flown. A full-size Devil Ray was seen by its designers as a concept for a multirole naval UAV, similar in size to the S-3 Viking and undertaking such missions as reconnaissance, EW, ASW, SEAD and light strike. Weapons could be carried both internally and on external hardpoints.
