Aerial Target
Aerial targets are used in the anti-aircraft weapons training. ELI Military Simulations offers the full service from design, manufacturing, maintenance and training to operation of the targets. Aerial target system consists of a seleced number of remotely piloted aircraft, radio controllers, critical spare parts, refueling accessories and engine starting equipment.
The aerial target set can be transported and stored in a van or passenger car trailer. Airplanes are belly-landed, but they are also equipped with a parachute recovery system, which is used to safely land a target that has been hit or has lost control.
The targets can also be upgraded with a hit detection and counting system, which gives visual information by leaving a smoke trail or by sending the hit count to a ground station via a data modem. The speed of the aerial targets ranges fro 100-180 km/h, depending on the engine used.
