To provide Rotary Wing aerial targets for all Services of the U.S. military and allied foreign countries to support air defense weapon systems development and operational testing.
DESCRIPTION:
The QUH-1 Rotary Wing Target provides a low-cost, realistic helicopter target system to be used in live-fire tracking and engagement testing by air defense missile systems and is approved for use on DoD test and training ranges. The QUH-1 is controlled by the Army's Target Control System. This target can be modified with infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) signature augmentation to provide a more realistic threat representation to meet customer needs. An effort to identify and acquire a low-cost replacement to the existing rotary wing target is underway.
