THE SYSTEMThe system comprises:

Four to eight target drones

Launcher

Mobile ground control station

Ground support equipment

Drone

The Skua is a high-speed targetdrone designed to simulatehigh-speed attack aircraft duringweapon development as well asland, sea and air combat training.The Skua has an all-composite,low-drag airframe with a wingspanof 3.57 m and length of 6 m. Winghard-points are provided to carry upto 130 kg of tow-targets andsignature augmentation equipment.An internal bay can house apayload of up to 30 kg.

Launcher

The zero-length launcher is easilydeployed. It includes self-loadingand engine-starting facilities.

OPERATION

Deployment

The system is easily transportable

by land, sea and air, and can bedeployed in less than a day. Nosophisticated range equipment isrequired for system operation.

Flight Control

Following launch, all flight pathand drone manoeuvres arecontrolled by a telecommand andtelemetry link between the droneand ground station. The drone canalso fly autonomously to a

programmed mission plan.

Recovery

A two-stage parachute system isused to recover the drone. Thedrone lands in an invertedhorizontal position on pneumaticlanding bags. It can also berecovered over water.

Ground Control Station

The mobile ground control stationhouses the control interfaces,telecommand and telemetryequipment required to control thedrone. Tracking is done viaposition feedback from the dronesnavigation system.
