MA AirDefence UAS
by Marques Aviation Ltd
MA AD-1 Target
The UAV target system is intended for air defense weapon training to evaluate and test the various close-in, short-range, and medium range air defense weapon systems.
This aerial target is capable of simulating (completely or partially) a variety of air-defense threats including “cruise missiles”, “anti-ship missiles”, unmanned aerial vehicles, “guided bombs”, and “attack aircraft”.
The target is a recoverable unmanned air vehicle equipped with power plant, automatic flight control system, recovery parachute and modular multi-version mission payloads.
