A target drone, also known as a drone target or unmanned target vehicle (UTV), is an unmanned aircraft used primarily for target practice by military forces. These drones are designed to mimic the performance characteristics of enemy aircraft, missiles, or other aerial threats, allowing military personnel to train and test their weapons systems against realistic targets without risking human lives. The primary driver for target drone demand is the need for realistic training and readiness assessment in modern military forces. As armed forces seek to improve their combat capabilities, the demand for high-fidelity target drones remains strong.
Advances in drone technology have led to more sophisticated and capable target drones. These advancements make training exercises more challenging and realistic, further boosting demand.
