Okay, it's look like a model kit (It's an UAV), but it's also a concentrate of stealth technology :

Dassault Aviation is working on its 'Duc' series of demonstrator vehicles, adopting a 'family' approach to technology demonstration that aims to give the French company the capability to develop a range of operational UAVs - should it be required to do so - spanning the long-dwell, high altitude surveillance role currently carried out by the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk, through unmanned reconnaissance air vehicles (URAVs), tactical UAVs (TUAVs) for army observation roles and finally UCAVs themselves.

In 1999, Dassault Aviation asked Aviation Design to study with their team and build a prototype of a stealth UAV: the "Petit Duc" (Little Duke). It was developed to validate aerodynamic and radar cross section models for Dassault stealth UAVs. The principal objective in designing the Petit Duc was to achieve the lowest possible radar signature. The radar cross section is about the same as a sparrow.
