Germany’s New Stealth Drone Packs 950-Km Reach Into Blended-Wing Airframe

A long-range unmanned aerial system (UAS) under development by German firm Quantum Cyber features stealth architecture intended to reduce detectability from adversary radar in contested airspace.

Called PHANTOM-950, the drone combines a blended-wing airframe with a multi-stage propulsion system optimized for launch, cruise, and terminal flight operations.

It has a projected range of up to 950 kilometers (590 miles), an altitude of 18,000 meters (59,055 feet), and a payload capacity of 10 kilograms (22 pounds).
