Q. Can you provide an example scenario of how Taranis could be employed?
Taranis has been designed to be an unmanned, stealthy autonomous combat aircraft ultimately capable of delivering weapons to a battlefield in another continent. It will be able to hold an adversary at continuous risk of attack; to penetrate deep inside hostile territory, find a target, facilitate either kinetic or non kinetic influence upon it, assess the effect achieved, and provide intelligence back to commanders.


Q. Why all the secrecy over the shape and design of the vehicle?
From the outset, Taranis has been designed to utilise the most advanced means possible of achieving low observability, this includes both the systems and technology inside the aircraft as well as the shape, design and finish of the exterior of the aircraft. This does mean that there are aspects of the exterior design of the aircraft which remain classified.

Well, they are stealthy, perhaps they are already everywhere.
