With advanced aerodynamic design, the BQM-177 is a formidable high-performance target for live-fire training scenarios, including sub-sonic, sea-skimming anti-ship cruise missile threat emulation.
BQM-177 supports mission requirements by carrying an array of internal/external payloads, including proximity scoring, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), passive/active radio frequency (RF) augmentation, electronic counter-measures, infrared (IR) augmentation (plume pods), chaff and flare dispensers, and towed targets.
Capable of speeds in excess of 0.95 Mach and a sea-skimming altitude as low as 6.6 feet (2 meters), the BQM-177 has no equal when it comes to delivering realistic, anti-ship missile threat emulation.
Featuring cutting-edge aerodynamic design, the BQM-177 serves as a powerful high-performance target for live-fire training, simulating sub-sonic, sea-skimming anti-ship missile threats. The BQM-177 is the U.S. Navy’s next-generation Subsonic Aerial Target (SSAT).
With a maximum launch weight of 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms), the BQM-177 has a maximum internal payload capacity of 100 pounds (45 kilograms) and 85 pounds (38 kilograms) wing-tip capacity (per side).
While it provides formidable threat emulation for air-to-air engagements, the BQM-177’s aerodynamic design and unmatched performance capabilities make it a top choice for highly dynamic, high-subsonic, sea-skimming anti-ship cruise missile threat emulation.
This highly versatile aerial target supports various mission requirements by carrying a wide array of internal and external payloads, including scoring, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), passive and active RF augmentation, infrared (IR) augmentation (plume pods), chaff and flare dispensers, and towed targets
