Maximise radar visibility
Armed Forces training for radar-guided shooting
Application use
Operators of weapon systems with radar regularly train in order to perfect their skills. The challenge consists of presenting a simulated target, whether static or mobile, in front of the radar. The simulated target is representative of a real target in terms of dynamic behaviour and Radar Cross Section (RCS) in order to make destructive shots (target impact) or non-destructive shots (target vicinity).
Air : Air-Air aerial training shots at autonomous drones or towed targets / Air-Ground shots at land-based targets / Air-sea shots at naval targets
Land : Air-Ground training shots from a land-based weapon system at autonomous drones or towed targets / Ground-Ground shots at landbased targets / Ground-Sea shots at naval targets.
Sea : Sea-Air training shots from an aircraft carrier weapon system at autonomous drones or tow aerial targetss / Sea-Sea shots at floating naval targets
Operational requirements
- Radar visibility : total effectiveness of training shots
- Integration : easily adapted to any type of autonomous or towed target
- Constant RCS across a wide angle of view : broad detection range for moving targets & weapon systems
- Remote control : programmable RCS before or during exercise
- Budget savings : consumable and economic solutions for destructive shooting training
TECHNOLOGICAL NEED
Increase the Radar Cross-Section of a target
CHARACTERISTICS
Various RCS levels
Wide angle of view
Radar tracking without ambiguity
