The unmanned USAF RQ-4 “Global Hawk,” and the Navy MQ-4C “Triton” have been flying high altitude recon missions since 1998. The U-2S “Dragon Lady” is still flying for the same purposes, but remains manned. This has been an ongoing mission, with a solid pedigree going back to the dawn of flight. I don’t expect this to change much with the new generations of High Altitude Recon UAV’s under development.
