See attached link. As the article points out the new renderings were released primarily featuring a new Lockheed Martin tanker concept based on the Airbus A330. The manned component of the NGAD is shown refueling off the new tanker. It looks very similar to previously released renderings. The article also mentions a shape photographed at LM's Helendale RCS facility a while back. There was some discussion about that here in the forum back then and I believe the consensus was that it was likely a calibration target.
