BARRACUDA Unmanned Surface

Vehicle-Target
P/N ST07-01000
Key features
Proven speed of 36
Knots in SS3
Line-of-sight and
over-the-horizon
control

The BARRACUDA Unmanned Surface Vehicle Target (USV-T) is based on a

modified, Navy standard, fiberglass hull, rigid inflatable boat (RHIB), powered
by a 225 hp marine diesel engine. The BARRACUDA operates at speeds up
to 36+ knots, which is a significant performance increase over any other target
system in this category.
The BARRACUDA allows for remote control from distances greater than 10
nautical miles or can be configured for Over-the-Horizon (OTH) control.
A
digital radio command link controls the Targets course and speed, while
telemetry and video signals from the target provide the operator with System
performance and position information.
A self-contained tracking capability is
achieved using position data from the onboard Global Positioning System
(GPS).
The BARRACUDA replicates high-speed naval tactics and a variety of operational
guidance plans including straight-on high-speed attack, crossing patterns, zigzag, and other evasive manoeuvres. The System can be equipped with visual,
radar, and laser signature enhancements to present a convincing likeness of a
variety of naval threats to exercise naval guns, radar, and visual IR sensors for
naval combat systems. The System has also proven to be an effective air-toground target.
