The “Dan'” target UAV was developed in the early 90s (by Sokol Design Bureau) for training pilots, operators of airborne intercept missile systems, testing anti-aircraft systems and on-board weapons systems of fighter aircraft.

Equipment: At the customer’s request, it is possible to install a side-view radar and a multi-channel radiometer.

The air target “Dan'” imitates subsonic tactical aircraft and Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The “Dan'” UAV is a free-flying, single-engine, monoplane with a mid- wing and a power plant located in the tail section of the aircraft.
The “Dan'” UAV is launched from a ground launcher or from a transport launch vehicle using a powder booster (dropped after takeoff), and lands by parachute on a special inflatable structure.
The “Dan'” UAV has a combined control system and allows for a flight according to a given program or the use of remote control via a radio channel.
The UAV is designed for tenfold use.
