Subsonic Targets

Abstract

The BQM-177A Subsonic Aerial Target (SSAT) represents subsonic anti-ship cruise missile threats in direct support of the Test & Evaluation of major combat weapons systems programs and fleet training. The BQM-177A SSAT provides dynamic, high-subsonic, sea-skimming, anti-ship cruise missile threat emulation for testing of USN ship defensive weapon systems and other surface-to-air systems and will replace current BQM-74E subsonic targets with increased capabilities featuring increased speed, longer range, lower cruise altitudes and greater maneuverability.
