Proposal Statement
High-fidelity surrogate targets that fully enable 4rth and 5th gen aircraft and weapons capabilities.
Recommendation Information
Ready Aircrew Program tasking requirements call for the ANG operational training infrastructure enterprise to acquire realistic, multispectral target surrogates replicating real-world complex target sets. The ANG currently employs a variety of high and medium fidelity surrogate targets, but still has shortfalls in realistic target acquisition and identification training that fully enable 4rth and 5th gen aircraft and weapons capabilities. High-value complex target arrays are needed to mimic specific near-peer surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery sites along with associated equipment. These arrays require the same characteristics as the actual entity to include visual footprint, density, and heat signatures. The ANG’s four electronic warfare (EW) training ranges require fifteen high fidelity targets each associated with specific EW threat emitters.
