The South Korean military revealed a stealthy, tailless unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) during the country's 75th Armed Forces Day parade on 26 September.

Janes assessed that the unmanned aircraft were Kaori-Xs (Stingray-Xs), a downscaled stealth UCAV demonstrator. The Kaori-X programme aims to provide the South Korean military with a stealth UCAV capability. The military displayed five suchUCAVs during the parade.

Development of the Kaori-X began in 2010 under a project led by South Korea's Agency for Defense Development (ADD). Korean Air (KAL) is a systems integrator for the programme. The ADD first unveiled the demonstrator in August 2020.

The model displayed during the army parade appears to be an updated version of the Kaori-X. The aircraft has a swept-back constant chord wing planform ending in triangular wingtips. This wing feature is associated with the scaled-up Kaori-X technology demonstrator. The UCAVs also had a large very/ultra-high-frequency(V/UHF) communications antenna in the dorsal position.
