Target Drone System MIMIC: Cheap – Scalable – Expendable
Target Drone System MIMIC: Cheap – Scalable – Expendable
If you want peace, prepare for war.
Target Training
Current wars in Ukraine and the Persian Gulf demonstrate that the large-scale use of UAVs is fundamentally changing the nature of warfare and the options available to soldiers on the battlefield.
The training of soldiers across all branches and services must reflect this new reality. Counter-UAS (CUAS) capabilities at the tactical level will inevitably become a core element of combat training across all forces.
MIMIC is our answer to this challenge.
MIMIC I is a versatile UAV that allows cost effective target training. Its rugged and simple design is optimized for low cost rapid production. Using commercial off-the-shelf components enables high availability and mission flexibility.
