As far as I know (and I'm on soft ground here ... corrections are welcome), "Quartz" is the same as "Tier 3" or "Project 'Q'". "Tier 3" was a very large subsonic stealthy high-atitude UAV, which was developed around 1990 by Lockheed and Boeing. It was cancelled (probably because of costs) and replaced by the less ambitiuos "Tier 3 minus", which became the RQ-3A DarkStar (http://www.invisible-defenders.org/programs/uavs/tier3-.htm).

The linked image is said to show "roughly what the "Q" (Quartz aka Tier 3) looks like" [quote from "wolfbane"].
