Evaluation of the state and development of aerial targets for testing contemporary and promising arms systems

The results of evaluating the state and development of aerial targets designed for testing aircraft weapon, systems of air defense and combat crew training are presented. The basic types of aerial targets are examined using as an example existing ones and problems are posed to consider the necessity of creating new types of aerial targets for extending a range of FV types being simulated. The basic characteristics of aerial targets are separated and their classification is proposed.
