The Defense Advance Research Project Agency (DARPA) announced plans to build an unmanned aircraft capable of flying uninterrupted within a designated airspace for at least five years. The unmanned aircraft will be armed with a 1,000-pound payload. The press release issued earlier today describes in these terms:
"The Vulture program envisions ...
