[3] The MQM-107 was originally developed by Beech Aircraft for the United States Army Aviation and Missile Command's 1972 Variable Speed Training Target (VSTT) requirement.

The MQM-107 is designed as a high-subsonic target drone, featuring a slight sweep in the wings and a centerline mounted turbojet engine.

The drone is launched from the ground with a rocket booster accelerating it until the jet engine takes over.

The Streaker is generally designed to operate as a tow vehicle for missile and gun targets.

In 2012, it was reported that North Korea had acquired several MQM-107D aircraft second-hand from a Middle Eastern country,[4] and the following year revealed an indigenous target drone type believed to be based on the Streaker.
