Pilotless planes have taken one step closer to reality after BAE systems revealed it will test a new fighter jet next year.
The company is set to win two contracts including one for the Mantis, which can fly on its own for 24 hours with no cockpit and no human on board.
If all goes as planned the artificial intelligence could mean the end of fighter pilots in the UK and bring down the curtain on conventional aircraft like the F-35.
And come 2013 the Mantis will be making its first flight over Britain as it is tested to see if it works.
BAE even claims that the technology could one day be used to pilot commercial jets in a similar way to driverless trains now.

The NWO's own Skynet, they know that at some point they won't be able to rely on the militaries of the Western nations to carry out their actions. Hence, the push for autonomous weapons platforms.
