  • Pre-plumbed and pre-wired, the wing tips are capable of carrying 100 pounds per side with optional payloads including IR plume pods and tow targets.
  • Area ruling applied to the fuselage design provides for superior transonic performance
  • Advanced use of carbon fiber composites in the airframe virtually eliminates corrosion, ensures watertight bonds (reducing maintenance after water recoveries) and provides superior strength and durability.
  • High fidelity radar altimeter provides low altitude all-weather operation, automatic calibration/testing of up to eight user-defined trip points and is accurate within one foot plus 1% altitude.
  • Additional space on E-bay panel is provided to accommodate future customer-specific payloads/avionics.
  • Watertight E-bay provides a single location for all target avionics reducing maintenance service time to access LRUs for remove-and-replace activities.
  • The reliable internalized 1,000-pound thrust engine provides sufficient thrust for high-speed low-altitude flight and facilitates the ability to accomplish sustained altitude high-g maneuvers.
