    The BQM-177A is an unmanned aerial target designed to emulate anti-ship cruise missiles. It can reach speeds of 0.95 Mach and altitudes of 40,000 feet, making it suitable for testing new weapon systems and air combat training. The U.S. Navy selected it as their next-generation subsonic target due to its ability to carry various internal and external payloads and support different mission requirements. Key specifications include a length of 17 feet, wingspan of 7 feet, and maximum weight of 1,400 pounds.

    BQM-177A

    The BQM-177A is designed to meet the need for highly dynamic, high-subsonic, sea-skimming,
    anti-ship cruise missile threat emulation. Capable of speeds in excess of 0.95 M, and an altitude
    of 40,000 feet, the BQM-177A is uniquely suited for missions that include the testing and
    evaluating of new weapon systems, and training aviators in air-to-air combat scenarios.

    The U.S. Navy selected the BQM-177A for its next-generation subsonic aerial target. The BQM-177A supports various mission requirements
    by carrying a number of internal and external payloads. Like the slightly larger BQM-167A, payloads include smoke oil, scoring, Identification
    Friend-or-Foe (IFF), passive and active radar augmentation, infrared (IR) augmentation (such as plume pods), chaff, flare, and electronic
    countermeasures.
