The published description of the Mighty Hornet IV’s development lists three main engineering workstreams: propulsion, structure and mission systems. A core selling point for the Mighty Hornet IV is its intended role in MUM-T scenarios. In an environment where Taiwan seeks distributable, low-cost capabilities to complicate any potential adversary’s planning, systems like the Mighty Hornet IV are politically and doctrinally attractive. Kratos and NCSIST both stress that the Mighty Hornet IV is an evolving programme. The Mighty Hornet IV is more than a single product.
