Navy Declares Initial Operational Capability on Kratos-Built

Subsonic Aerial Target System

Posted By: Matthew Nelsonon: March 06, 2019In: News, Technology

A subsonic aerial target system Kratos Defense and Security Solutions built for the U.S. Navy has reached initial operational capability status.

The military service will operate Kratos’ BQM-177A unmanned target aircraft from Port Mugu, Calif., Kratos said Tuesday.

BQM-177A, which is designed to emulate anti-ship cruise missile threats, can operate at a speed of more than 0.9 Mach and at a sea-skimming altitude of as low as 10 feet.

Capt. Molly Boron, the Navy’s aerial targets program manager, said in a statement the target drone “represents the current threats to our forces and delivers improvements in speed and maneuverability to the subsonic target inventory.”

Naval Air Systems Command expects the BQM-177A to perform both land and ship-based operations once the system reaches full operational capability.
