Aerial Target System Dev
Abstract
Aerial target systems, Target Control (TC), and associated Target Augmentation and Auxilary Systems (TA/AS) 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 (T&E) 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 Test and Evaluation (DT&E), Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) and Live Fire Test and Evaluation of major combat weapons systems programs in development. - TC and 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 and testing, radar cross section evaluation, decoy effectiveness testing, maneuver analysis, electronic warfare evaluation, warhead effectiveness testing and evaluation of fleet tactics. TA/AS scoring capabilities include both surface and airborne scalar and vector scoring systems.
