Target Systems
ATK produces the rocket-assisted
take-off motor for the BQM-167A high-performance unmanned aerial vehicle/target
system selected as the next-generation Air Force Subscale Aerial Target
(AFSAT). The new jet-powered drone will supplement and ultimately replace
the Firebee and Streaker targets currently in use.
The ATK motor is used to propel the BXM-167A to an altitude and speed at which
the ventrally mounted turbojet can be engaged.
