The DDSAF are already a big user of UCAVs with new projects like the LLAD on the way to further increase the size of their force. But one type they lack is a supersonic strike drone that is able to penetrate enemy defences and deliver a surgical strike deep in enemy protected territory. A new project has been begun by the DDS called the MQ-18 Black Magic to fill this gap.
Not many details are known about Black Magic yet (and it certainly won't be available any time soon) but it will be a stealthy drone able to reach Mach 2 and carry a number of air-to-ground weapons as well as having a secondary reconnaissance role.
