Naval Targets
Replicating fast inshore attack craft and swarming attacks on maritime and naval vessels, we provide the UAE and the wider Middle East with access to QinetiQ Target System’s world leading range of advanced unmanned naval targets.
Our targets systems are used by naval forces around the world and range from dynamic fast attack craft to towed targets.
We offer ‘turn-key’ systems for basic, intermediate and advanced live-fire naval training
Our command & control systems can operate multiple targets simultaneously to replicate swarm attacks.
We help prove the effectiveness and operational readiness of weapon systems including naval guns, cannon, close-in weapon systems, air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missiles.
The Threat Landscape: Saturation & Swarm Attacks
The threat to navies from swarm attacks is becoming more and more frequent across the world.
Multiple Fast Attack Craft and Unmanned Surface Vehicles seek to saturate a ships’ defensive systems, especially where manoeuvrability is limited such as in narrow straits or busy shipping lanes.
Watch QinetiQ’s latest animation showing this complex threat scenario and how we can help you train to defeat it.
HAMMERHEAD
The Hammerhead is a 5 meter long, surface-effect composite hull that achieves speeds in excess of 35 knots in sea state 3.
Advanced telemetry and navigation systems ensure highly accurate and reliable presentations at up to 5nm range providing a challenging threat for surface warfare.
SPRITE II
The SPRITE II is a 4.2 meter Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) with a small outboard engine which is capable of up to 30 knots in Sea State 1-2.
Robust control systems and communication links are built into this tough and versatile unmanned target system which is intended for live fire or tracking training serials.
HSITT Mk2
The High Speed Inflatable Towed Target (HSITT) is part of a family of low-cost, easily stowed, robust, inflatable towed targets.
Principally used for live fire surface gunnery training, the HSITT Mk2 has a patented skeg enabling stabilised towing at high speeds.
Killer Tomato
The Killer Tomato is an inflatable, multi chambered target used by navies around the world to check test various onboard weapons systems.
Easily stowed and deceptively hard to kill, these targets enable live fire training and calibration of sensors for warships in situ.
