Aerial Target System Dev
Abstract
Aerial target systems, target control, and associated target augmentation and auxiliary systems are developed to support test & evaluation and advanced fleet training for Joint Strike and Littoral Warfare Systems required to defend fleet surface and air units in a hostile environment. This project includes - Subsonic Targets. Subsonic Aerial Target (SSAT) development. The SSAT primarily represents subsonic anti-ship cruise missile threats in direct support of the test & evaluation of major combat weapons systems programs and fleet training. - Supersonic Targets. Supersonic Sea Skimming Target (SSST), Multi-Stage Supersonic Target (MSST) and supersonic high-diver capability development. The family of supersonic target capabilities represents supersonic anti-ship cruise missile threats in direct support of developmental & operational test and evaluation of major combat weapons systems programs in development. - Target Control (TC) and Target Augmentation & Auxiliary Systems (TA/AS) development. TC provides command and control of targets to enable the execution of threat representative mission profiles. TA/AS enables each target to be uniquely configured for specific mission profiles. TA/AS configured targets are used for radar acquisition test, electronic countermeasures (jamming) evaluation, infrared measurement/test, radar cross section evaluation, decoy effectiveness, maneuver analysis, electronic warfare, warhead effectiveness and evaluation of fleet tactics. TA/AS scoring capabilities include both surface and airborne scalar and vector scoring systems.
