Subsonic Aerial Target System (SSAT)
An air or surface launched, recoverable, remote-controlled, fixed-wing subsonic aerial target capable of speeds up to Mach 0.95 and altitudes from 10 to 50,000 feet.
More InformationBQM-74E CHUKAR
A recoverable, remote controlled, subsonic aerial target, capable of speeds up to Mach 0.86 and altitudes from 7.0 to 40,000 feet.
More InformationTALD/ITALD
Improved Tactical Air Launched Decoys (ITALDs) provide realistic decoys of strike aircraft to deceive and saturate enemy Integrated Air Defenses (IADS). The decoy simulates IADs to increase the success of Supression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) missions.
More InformationBQM-34S
The BQM-34S is a high performance subscale, subsonic, recoverable, aerial target used to simulate various threat characteristics for fleet training and weapon system test and evaluation.
More InformationAQM-37C
The AQM-37 provides supersonic high altitude target capability for fleet training and weapon system test and evaluation.
More InformationGQM-163A
The GQM-163A Supersonic Sea Skimming Target (SSST) is used to simulate Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) in the low supersonic performance regime. It is used primarily for special test and evaluation requirements.
More InformationTarget Systems
Moving Land Targets train aircrews in the demands of Close Air Support (CAS), Time Sensitive Targeting (TST), Target Identification, and Forward Air Controller (FAC) procedures within a Network Centric Warfighting force. MLT present aircrew with threat representative targets that provide infra-red reactivity, mobility, and realistic radar cross-section targets to meet their combat training needs.
More InformationFull Scale Targets
QF-16 provides a 4th generation full scale threat representative target to meet Public Law, Title 10 US Code 2366, that new and improved weapon systems demonstrate lethality prior to production. QF-16 is a replacement for the existing QF-4 target.
