1118 Northrop Grumman Switchblade is cancelled DARPA OFW demonstrator
 
Ah, now I remember. But the much interesting question is what is Dark Star B? However for example "standard" Dark Star has the status "in development", SAAB Baby SHARC is named as FILUR, etc, so its not the best source of the data.

Note the lines 1953 and 1118 in the first PDF.

Couldn't find a "1953". I guess you're refering to Darkstar B (line 1053).

The Switchblade Oblique Flying Wing (OFW) Program was started in February 2006. In this listing, it is given as a "developmental aircraft" whose development is said to be "continuing". So when was it cancelled, since this file is only from last year? Do you have a source for this?

As I said before, its not the best source of information.
