it's one their UAVs, I think dark sword. But the thing is, I don't think they actually show top secret product in such a show. It's most likely an earlier design, a design that got dropped or something like that.

Dark sword is a UAV, it should have no cockpit, but this one has a cockpit. No matter what it is, it's not a real thing.

from the photo in my post, you won't see any cockpit cause it's the dark sword UAV. dark sword also has swept back wings. While the photo in the above most link, the model has a cockpit and swept forward wings. comparing two models you'll find them quite different from each other.
