Beechcraft Raider (tactical missile project, 1985)

The unbuilt Beechcraft Raider of 1985 was meant as a recoverable tactical UAV for active and passive countermeasures, and was derived from the basic MQM-107 Streaker design. Does anyone know if it was a company-developed project or if it was a reply to some official specification that was later canceled?

Raider. At the Paris Air Show in June 1985, Beech unveiled a new MQM-107 variant called Raider. Little is known of this remotely piloted vehicle except that it is designed to carry modular payloads of both active and passive countermeasures, decoys, and reconnaissance systems. An internal payload capacity of 45.5 kilograms (100 lb) is featured. The powerplant is a Microturbo TRI 60-2 Model 73 engine, and it has the same basic dimensions as the MQM-107B. The Raider program is now dormant.
