Taranis Drone at Woomera
Taranis drone: Britain's $336m supersonic unmanned aircraft launched over Woomera - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Who wants to guess what the chase plane is. Look for the shadow at the end of the Vid.

They used an Australian Lear for the chase plane for the first flights at Woomera some years ago. We had to go inside whenever it came out of the hangar, so I never saw the UAV.

The poster behind the interview with the mission commander shown further down the ABC link shows a Typhoon (Eurofighter). This, however, may be a staged photo but the shadow in the video does have some similarity.
