BOBR Air Target Imitator Drone System

AirTarget Imitator Drone System

Mission

The Bobr drone system is designed to launch 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 parameters, as well as heat emission of existing manned and unmanned aircraft.

The drone system is developed on the basis

Composition

• 9P334 portable launcher, comprising a tripod and a launch tube (the Grad MRS launch vehicle can be used optionally) • 9F839 air target imitator • 9U14 launch panel with a 60-m electric cable

The drone uses two types of warheads: • with IR-tracer (9F839, 9F839-1) and optional

IR-flare dispenser; • with radar reflector and tracer (9F839-2).
