Technical basis
Darktower combines the B-21’s low-observable penetrating-aircraft architecture with Watchtower evidence, communications, legal review, and bounded-force functions. Its distinctions are internal: externally it remains indistinguishable from a standard B-21. Unlike visible Watchtowers, it carries no blue belly light and preserves concealment where visibility would endanger the mission or protected persons.
