Abstract

The functional and technical requirements of the Gunnery surface target for Naval firing practice are given. The design evolved, and the raw materials required for its various components are described and discussed in detail. The target designed can with stand the sea state of seven in all operating conditions while being towed at a speed of 15 knots in a wind speed of 25 knots. It is visible upto a distance of 18 km and has radar responsive characteristics upto 22 km.
