Obviously a design by the Eca group, which you can find here https://www.ecagroup.com/ , busy in the field
of what is now called UAV. More here https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECA_Group
Seems, you were quite right with that design being a target, though still yet, I only found it here in that comic,
explaining the company history : http://eca80en.dwink.pro/

« The vehicle is intended to control the behavior of stabilization, remote control and telemetry devices at high speeds and under strong accelerations. »

Some ECA test vehicles have been converted into targets, but not all. ECA-27 may be the target version of ECA-26.

The ECA-30 also was a derivative of the ECA-20 with an "inverted V" fin.
