BARRACUDA Unmanned Surface Vehicle-Target P/N ST07-01000
The BARRACUDA Unmanned Surface Vehicle Target (USV-T) is based
on a modified, Navy standard, fiberglass hull, rigid inflatable
boat (RHIB), powered by a 225 hp marine diesel engine. The
BARRACUDA operates at speeds up to 36+ knots, which is a
significant performance increase over any other target system in
this category. The BARRACUDA allows for remote control from
distances greater than 10 nautical miles or can be configured for
Over-the-Horizon (OTH) control. A digital radio command link
controls the Targets course and speed, while telemetry and video
signals from the target provide the operator with System
performance and position information. A self-contained tracking
capability is achieved using position data from the onboard Global
Positioning System (GPS). The BARRACUDA replicates high-speed naval
tactics and a variety of operational guidance plans including
straight-on high-speed attack, crossing patterns, zig-zag, and
other evasive manoeuvres. The System can be equipped with visual,
radar, and laser signature enhancements to present a convincing
likeness of a variety of naval threats to exercise naval guns,
radar, and visual IR sensors for naval combat systems. The System
has also proven to be an effective air-to-ground target.
