The Banshee, formerly the Target Technology Banshee or BTT3 Banshee, then Meggitt Banshee, is a series of British target drones developed from the 1980s for air defence system training. In December 2016, Meggitt's target drone subsidiary, Meggitt Target Systems, was sold to QinetiQ for £57.5 million[2][3] and versions of the drone are now simply named after "Banshee". The most recent common version is the 2021 Banshee Jet 80+.
