BOBR Air Target Imitator Drone System
Mission
of the 122mm Grad Multiple Rocket System.
The Bobr drone system is designed to lau nch the 9F839 air target imitator to simulate characteristics of air strike assets in the radar and IR spectrums, and to support air defence unit practice and test firings. The air target simulates kinetic and radar reflection par a meters, as well as heat emission of existing manned and unmanned aircraft. The drone system is developed on the basis
