I'm not sure if this is circulating the US networks about the first unmanned drone landing on an aircraft carrier but it looks computer generated to me.

I'm sure it's possible from an instrumentation and control point of view, and this is only what they're putting into the public domain.

That's a very good point - wanting to show they can do but not show any details of the craft hence 'touching up' the video to remove secrets.
