Northrop Grumman X-47B UAV

The X-47B was built for the US Navy's Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration (UCAS-D) program.

As the name implies, its targets went beyond carrier operations. The aircraft had several features intended for combat aircraft, including signature reduction, aka. "stealth". Various protuberances and the lack of doors to cover the arresting hook suggest that it wasn't a full-blown stealth aircraft, though.
