Lockheed Martin Cormorant

It was hoped that it could provide all- weather ISR&T, bomb/battle damage assessment, armed reconnaissance, and special operation forces mission support.

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) provided funding for tests of models and some of the systems on board the Cormorant.

While achieving goals and capabilities during tests, DARPA cancelled the contract due to budget cuts in FY08.

To prevent corrosion, the Cormorant was made from titanium, and to resist crushing, empty spaces were taken up with plastic foam.
