Army Aerial Target Systems (ATS-II)

Support test and training requirements for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E), production and provision of materials, technical flight and field support, and logistical support for aerial target programs. Research, design, development, production, technical flight and field support, and logistical support are required for aerial target systems, aerial target subsystems, and components located within the aerial target as well as ground support equipment and control/testing systems external to the aerial target.

The Targets Management Office (TMO) located at Redstone Arsenal, AL, reports to the Project Manager for Instrumentation, Targets and Threat Simulators (PM ITTS) in Orlando, FL. TMO's mission is to provide all types of aerial target systems for the US Army, other Department of Defense (DOD) customers, and foreign clients. Efforts to accomplish this mission include acquisition of aerial targets, aerial target subsystems, ground support equipment and spares, flight operations, training and planning; and modification to existing aerial target systems to meet evolving requirements for research and development, test, and training support.
