I've read the full article, and the most interesting bits are:

"The Locheed Martin aircraft is a M2.0-M4.0 class system with highly
swept wings and large engines,...with a crew of two".

and referring to the USAF Reasearch Laboratory future strike study:

"It is prioritising its technology investments to be in a position
to launch a next-generation strike programme around 2012-15, with
the goal of fielding the system starting around 2020. The system
it chooses may not be an aircraft, but rather a capability that
traverses space, or some other unconventional approach."

If the aircraft shown is/does become a reality, I think a good
nickname for it would be "Shovel Nose"!!.
