BQM-167 Skeeter (1aa8a835-3c15-5a5d-b05c-b091661295f0)
The BQM‑167 Skeeter, built by Composite Engineering, is a jet‑propelled, sub‑scale aerial target employed by the United States and exported to Singapore and Sweden. With a 3.2‑metre wingspan, a top speed of roughly 1 100 km/h and a 45‑kg payload capacity, the platform can be equipped with live or inert weapons for realistic training and weapons‑system testing. Its high‑performance flight envelope and maneuverability make it suitable for evaluating air‑defence, missile, and gun‑fire solutions, while its modest size and expendable nature keep operational costs low. The Skeeter therefore serves primarily as a high‑fidelity target to enhance combat‑readiness and system validation for participating forces.
