Taranis is a future air combat system

• A. A helicopter
• B. A space launch system
• C. A missile
• D. A future air combat system

Answer: (D)

Taranis is a future air combat system. It refers to a British demonstrator program for an unmanned combat air vehicle designed to operate in future air warfare, often with stealth and autonomous or semi-autonomous capabilities. This makes it a concept for an air-domain system that would work alongside manned aircraft, rather than a specific helicopter, a space launch system, or a missile. A helicopter is rotorcraft used for travel and support; a space launch system sends payloads into space; a missile is a self-contained weapon. Taranis sits in the category of future unmanned air systems intended for strategic air roles.
