 | | The first was the "Model 395", a militarized version of the Scaled Composites Proteus modified to a pure UAV configuration, with a sensor turret under the nose and a SAR-MTI pod under the forward fuselage, and carrying munitions on the centerline, for example tandem triple racks to carry six 225 kilogram (500 pound) munitions. |
 | | The other Northrop Grumman proposal was effectively a half-weight Global Hawk, the "Model 396", with a wingspan of 10.7 meters (35 feet), a length of 27 meters (88.6 feet), and a gross weight of 6,800 kilograms (15,000 pounds), half that of the Global Hawk. |
 | | The Raven was a stealthy machine, built mostly of carbon-epoxy composite materials, with a general appearance roughly along the lines of the X-45. |
