Abstract:
The Q-5 Target Drone is a high supersonic air vehicle employing a monoplane wing, and external ramjet engine and separable solid-fuel boosters. The boosters are employed to accelerate the drone to adequate speed and altitude for proper cruise operation with the ramjet engine. The drone vehicle possesses inherent radar-reflectivity augmentation to simulate more nearly the radar appearance of typical high-performance enemy aircraft of the future. The Q-5 Drone, together with its associated ground electronic equipment, is capable of performing programmed or commanded flight paths and sensing and scoring the firing errors of weapons used against it. The Q-5 Drone is recoverable over both land and water. Author
