Supersonic Targets

Abstract

Provides funding for the development of GQM-163A upgrades/evolutionary development to keep pace with evolving threat characteristics. Efforts include continued development of performance envelope characteristics to keep pace with emerging threat requirements such as development of updated flight profiles and vehicle signatures. Funds also support development of required improvements in the current infrastructure of the launch capability to accommodate the increased number of simultaneously launched targets from two to four. Funding will also support final termination settlement of the GQM-173 MSST development effort.
