SOF Week 25 – Boresight
From Australia comes Boresight and their family of target drones. Designed to be used as an aerial target, the BQ400 quadcopter is a low-cost drone. It has a flight duration of 25 minutes and can fly over 2500m at speed of up to 17.5 m/s.
Using the ground control system, routes are preprogrammed and fly consistently sortie after sortie for live fire gunnery (both kinetic and non-kinetic) training. The one to many control allows one operator to fly up to 10 drones on the same route to mimic swarm scenarios.
Boresight also has a US footprint in Huntsville, Alabama. They are introducing new target drones including a larger quadcopter and Class 1 fixed wing model.
