The experimental investigations of two generic UCAV configurations with control surfaces are presented. The current paper is covering the design of the model, layout of the control surfaces as well as the static wind tunnel tests. The low speed static wind tunnel tests have been undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of different control surfaces and control surface settings. Finally, the experimental results are used to establish a common CFD test matrix for the NATO STO Task Group AVT-201 for computer code validation and to assess the capability to predict the complex vortical flow and aerodynamic Stability and Control (S&C) characteristics of configurations with highly swept leading edges and vortex dominated flow field
