Equipment is mounted on both sides of the rack for convenient equipment removal, installation, and checkout. The target is powered by a YJ400-WR-403 variable speed, turbojet engine, which produces a minimum of 190 pounds (240 pounds of thrust E model) of static thrust at sea level. The 16.2-gallon fuel tank is mounted in the fuselage center section. The BQM-74C/E target drone is air launched from either the A-6E or TA-4J aircraft. The target can be surface launched from the ground or a ship. The target flight path is remote controlled by radio commands. Target stabilization is maintained by a gravity-erected, two-axis, vertical displacement gyroscope. The target is equipped with a parachute recovery subsystem and an active flotation subsystem. After water entry, these subsystems keep the target afloat for a minimum of 24 hours. The target has retrieval attachments that are compatible with shipboard or helicopter retrieval equipment. When the basic BQM-74C/E target drone is configured for mobile sea range (MSR) and on-range target (ORT) operations, specific mission-peculiar equipment is added. The mission-peculiar equipment and installation and checkout procedures are listed in Maintenance Manual Instructions, N A V A IR 01-BQM-74C-2-1. For further information concerning the basic BQM-74C/E target drone, you should refer to Maintenance Instructions Target Drone Navy Model BQM-74C/E, NAVAIR 01-BQM-74C-2-2.
