Defense Science BoardRecommendations
THE BIG THREE ISSUES

• Supersonic Anti-Ship Targets
• Target Control
• Full Scale Aerial Target

STATUS(DOTE Perspective)
6
Supersonic Anti-Ship Targets

• DSB Recommendation
• Produce the GQM-163 A as the principal
  sea-skimming target.
• Continue attempts at foreign acquisition of MA-31
  for supersonic high-dive threat. Develop a backup
  strategy for domestic development and production
  of a high diver target.
• Immediately initiate a limited production of a
  Threat-D surrogate. A skunk works approach is
  recommended.

STATUS

• In Production
• Foreign Material Acquisitions are typically
  problematic.
• FY06 DOTE/Navy High Diver Target Study.
• Threat D is currently under concept exploration.
• Separation Event
• Acceleration/Velocity Profile

• A skunk works approach is recommended
• DOTE Focus for FY06/07.

7
Target Control

• DSB Recommendation
• DoD Test Resource Management Center (DTRMC),
  working with the Services, should develop and
  ensure support of a plan for transition to a
  common target control system.
• Service Buy-In is critical
• Transition can be gradual
• Goal shoot any target on any range

Status

• DTRMC accepted tasking.

8
Full Scale Aerial Target

• DSB Recommendations
• Produce a drone using an existing aircraft
  platform (F-16 or foreign F-4) to satisfy
  mid-term needs.
• Try to eliminate the man-rating requirement
  (ground transportable)
• Begin concept demonstration of new advanced
  aerial target (unmanned to satisfy long-term
  needs.

• Is Business as Usual Acceptable?

What are the requirements?
