The Fuji TACOM (TAyouto COgata Mujinki in Japanese, translates to "multi-role small UAV") is an air-launched unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Fuji Heavy Industries (now renamed as Subaru Corporation). In 1995, the TACOM UAV was conceived as a platform to test and evaluate the technologies needed for an air-launched UAV for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). Although it was not designed for any specific mission, some missions that the TACOM could potentially undertake included intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, decoy and aerial target.[2]
