Subsonic Targets - Development & Upgrades of subsonic aerial targets with increased capabilities
Abstract
A Subsonic Aerial Target (SSAT) replacement air vehicle, for the currently fielded BQM-74E target no longer in production, is required. The BQM-177A is a modernized subsonic target with increased capabilities providing realistic threat representation in support of critical live-fire Test and Evaluation events for major weapons systems and fleet combat training. The target features increased capabilities to include higher speed, longer range, lower cruise altitudes and greater maneuverability. Other subsonic target alternatives are being explored.
