Target Systems Development

Abstract

This program element funds the development of Aerial Target Systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle targets, Sea Surface Target Systems, Target Control systems, and associated Target Mission Support Systems, Target Threat Simulation Program and Target Augmentation and Auxiliary Systems required to simulate real world threats. These capabilities are required to execute developmental/operational test and evaluation of naval combat weapon systems and to satisfy advanced fleet training requirements while ensuring the Navy continues to develop threat simulations of emerging threat requirements. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION MANAGEMENT SUPPORT because it supports efforts directed toward sustaining or modernizing installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
