Naval Gunnery Target Balloons are required by marine, navy and coast guard
units to maintain a state of readiness in target acquisition and gunnery
skills. Surface targets made from urethane fabric, are relatively
light weight, easily stored due to small deflated size, easily inflated
from any powered air blower, and deployed by just a few personnel.
Airbourne targets made from latex material in a variety of colors are easily
inflated with bouyant gases readily available.
Most Target Balloons are Radar enhanced with reflective metal
foil material intended to simulate a small-craft on electronic systems.
This allows radar system operators to lock-onto their target to ascertain
range and azimuth information for use by commanders to initiate simulated
combat, interdiction, or rescue missions.
Special technical enhancements or modifications such as strobe lights,
IR
strobes, internal lights, high reflective speciality tape
or other enhancement devices are available at additional cost.
Existing targets are in use with the US Navy, US Coast Guard, Canadian
Navy, Nato nations, Royal Malaysian Navy, New Zealand Navy and other military
forces worldwide. Naval Gunnery Target Balloons are freely exportable
without restrictions.
