UAS in the News
Technology Spotlight
Improved ground target drone
Naval Air Center Warfare Weapons Division
The U.S. Navy has developed the shootable remote threat ground target for testing modern weapon systems. One such iteration of this technology has been deployed on a Ford F-350 truck.
These targets are threat representative because their signatures in all modes can be made to very closely match the land-based targets they represent and because their performance in terms of speed and maneuverability corresponds with modern manned vehicle capabilities. The speed, accuracy, and maneuverability of the vehicle while operating in a semi-autonomous control mode are key features that provide significantly enhanced performance over the current systems.
