The pilots of U-2 high altitude chase planes reported being unable pick up the YQM-98A with either radar or IR sensors. [2] It was later used in the Northrop Tacit Blue stealth demonstrator because of these characteristics. [3] The most significant application of the engine was on the Dassault HU-25 Guardian, developed
