We operate Rattler for highly effective weapon system Research Development Test & Evaluation, Operational Test & Evaluation, and training-oriented air defence scenarios.
The Rattler ST is highly cost effective, suitable for use over land and at sea and can either be ground-launched or carried and air-launched from our Banshee Jet 80+ aerial target, which has a range of more than 100 km. Rattler can reach speeds of between Mach 1.8 to Mach 2.5, using a unique material composition that provides high-speed kinematic performance at a very low cost compared to other manoeuvrable supersonic targets currently available on the market.
The ST transmits Time Space and Positioning Information (TSPI) and target status telemetry data in real time for range safety and operational requirements monitoring, and can accommodate radar or infrared augmentation, and other payload integration for specific weapon system requirements. Additionally, the target includes a Flight Termination System to maintain range safety during all phases of flight.
