QF-16 Full-Scale Aerial Target (FSAT)
Abstract
The QF-16 FSAT is being developed as a 4th generation full scale threat representative target providing a replacement to the existing FSAT/QF-4 which are maintained and operated by the Air Force. The QF-16 is a converted F-16 aircraft that provides a supersonic, high altitude, remote-controlled aerial target. This target will have full command and control capability through normal flight maneuvers. The FSAT target presentations will support aircraft and weapons systems testing and development, including that of the Joint Strike Fighter, AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile, and Standard Missile-6.
