Anybody recognize the awsome rugged laptops being used to help the United States Navy land their unmanned aircraft on aircraft carriers? Looks like one of the newer Toughbook 30 or Toughbook 31 models. If you’ve ever wondered whether or not Toughbooks were powerful, I think you’ve found your answer!

The aircraft shown in the video is the Northrop Grumman X-47B, an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle. It began as part of one of DARPA’s programs but has now become part of the US Navy’s UCAS-D (Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration) program.

The X-47B looks like a UFO straight out of a Sci-Fi movie but this thing is anything but fake. This is the real deal when it comes to extremely aerodynamic aircraft – it doesn’t even have a tail!

This drone was designed to be used as a robotic strike aircraft with the ability to take on a number of different missions at much higher speeds than the previous Predator and Reaper models.

The X-47B is also the first unmanned aircraft that is designed to be able to take off and land on the deck of an aircraft carrier deck.
