50,000 feet and a maximum speed of 600 knots. Unlike
the AQM-37C, this target requires extensive support
equipment and preparation before launching.
BQM-34E/T MISSILE TARGET
The BQM-34E/T missile target is a remotely
controlled supersonic, recoverable target capable of
speeds up to Mach 1.7 and altitudes of up to near 60,000
feet. It is propelled by a Y-69 turbojet engine and is
capable of performing preset maneuvers up to 5 G.
Mk 28 Mod 3
This target flare is used to provide an infrared source
on the BQM-74C/E target during missile firings.
Mk 37 Mod 0
This target flare is used to provide an infrared source
on the missile target to enhance survivability of the
target during missile firings.

AIR-LAUNCHED DECOY
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the
purpose and use of the air-launched decoy.
Air-launched decoys are air-launched vehicles
whose purpose is to minimize, nullify, or confuse enemy
air defense systems.
The tactical air-launched decoy (TALD) (fig. 8-11)
is a nonpowered, air-launched, aerodynamic vehicle.
The TALD provides false imagery to defense
acquisition systems by using chaff/electromagnetic
and radar signature augmentation. There are three
TALD vehicles: A/B37U-1(V)1, chaff vehicle;
A/B37U-1(V)2, RF vehicle; and ADM-141 A, RF
vehicle. TALD vehicles are loaded on multiple or triple
ejector racks (IMER/ITER/BRU-41/BRU-42). The
TALD (fig. 8-12) consists of a nose cone, left and right
antenna/wing assemblies, an empennage, a vertical
stabilizer, left and right stabilizer, a vertical fin, a flight
computer, a pilot battery, and a main battery.
RECORD KEEPING AND
REPORTING
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the
purpose and use of target logbooks, aerial
target expenditure reports, and target
performance reports.
