The TAURUS KEPD 350, standing for Target Adaptive Unitary & Dispenser Robotic Ubiquity System / Kinetic Energy Penetrating Destroyer, is a long-range cruise missile engineered to precisely target fortified positions without requiring the launching aircraft to penetrate hostile air defense territories.

Its structural design prioritizes stealth. The rectangular body, crafted from composite materials, avoids sharp interfaces, making it less perceptible to radars. Furthermore, a special radio-absorbent coating masks its presence even more. Ingeniously, the air intake channels are curved, a feature devised to hide the engine turbine from prying ground radars.

The Taurus maintains a steady subsonic speed in the vicinity of Mach 0.6-0.95. The missile's reach is nothing short of impressive, capable of engaging targets up to 310 miles (500 kilometers) away.

Once launched, the Taurus employs its Tri-tech navigation system, merging various sensors and reference databases to consistently monitor its position and adjust its trajectory.

The Taurus missile's tandem warhead, designed for Maximum Penetration and High Sophistication in Target Optimization (MEPHISTO), is tailored to decimate hard and deep-set targets.
