Aerial target drone system

The Dan aerial target drone system is designed to imitate remote-controlled aircraft, cruise missiles and subsonic tactical aircraft during combat training and testing of air defense missile, small-arms and artillery systems as well as fighter aircraft weapon systems.

Components:

  • aircraft – Dan aerial target drone;
  • ground control facilities: a radio control station and a ground telemetry system (mobile or fixed);
  • special-purpose ground support equipment: launcher (mobile or fixed), air starter of aerial target engine, transportation/loading vehicle, a set of support equipment, ground automated system for integrated aerial target monitoring.

Automatic control system - combined (software or by radio commands).

The main flight modes: takeoff, climb, level flight, descent, turns, snaking, dive, pitch-up, dive followed by nose-up, low-altitude flight, parachute landing.
