BQM-167 High-Performance Aerial Target

BQM-167A

The BQM-167A Air Force Subscale Aerial Target (AFSAT) is the only subscale aerial target platform operated by the US Air Force. The primary role of the BQM-167A is to provide the US Air Force aviators with the world’s most realistic and comprehensive end-to-end weapons-release training.

With an industry-leading fuel capacity of 115 US gallons, the BQM-167A’s operational time-on-station is more than double that of the legacy platforms it replaced. The longer available flight time means more presentations per-launch, significantly reducing the customer’s overall cost of ownership.

The versatile design of the BQM-167A supports various mission requirements by accepting a wide array of internal and external payloads including scoring (vector), Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF), passive radar augmentation, electronic countermeasures, infrared (IR) augmentation (plume pods), and internally-stored chaff and flare.

BQM-167i

Based upon the proven success of the US Air Force BQM-167A aerial target, the BWM-167i provides international customers with the world’s most realistic end-to-end weapons-release training.

With an operational ceiling of 15,000 meters and a top speed of 0.91 Mach, the BQM-167i allows international users an unparalleled opportunity to test and train against threat-representative target systems at altitudes and speeds otherwise unavailable with competing target platforms.

The versatile design of the BQM-167i supports various mission requirements by accepting a wide array of internal and external payloads including tow targets, scoring (vector and scalar), Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF), passive and active RF augmentation; infrared (IR) augmentation (plume pods), chaff, and flare.
