Gone is the prop in favor of a PW545B (same as Citation XLS) -

interior weapons bay capable of carrying anything up to a 500 lb JDAM (GPS bomb), 66' wingspan (swept 17 degrees), 400++ knots @ 60,000 feet and stealthy. Looks like it sucks in cold air under the jets air intake so as to cool the exhaust, making it hard to detect or hit using IR weapons systems. Also has a serpentuine air flow so radar can't see the turbines. Same things were done with the F117 Nighthawk.

Details here....

Supposed to use the new Spike mini-missile: hyper-accurate, 2' long, 5 lbs and just $5k a shot vs. $100k for a Hellfire (last image).

Now, it's finally starting to look a bit more fit for Skynet...

Wait'll you hear about the new generation of AI going into the unmanned vehicles.

Then there was the recent contract given to Boeing and Raytheon for a very small 100kw free electron laser for small vehicles.
