Design and Develop Indigenous re-usable High speed Expendable Aerial Target (HEAT) with EW capabilities which can simulate fighter aircraft profiles and can be employed to provide realistic target engagement for IAF fighter aircraft and SAGW systems

Source

Source summary

Develop and manufacture an indigenous reusable high-speed aerial target for realistic training of Indian Air Force fighters and surface-to-air guided-weapon systems. The source requires fighter-like flight and signature simulation, telemetry, miss-distance measurement, multiple runs, coordinated control of several targets, mobile deployment, transportability and maintainability; carrying electronic-warfare simulation equipment is also required. Detailed performance and countermeasure parameters are intentionally omitted.
