High Altitude Aerial Target from UAE

Adcom Systems in the UAE has unveiled a new unmanned aerial target, known as the Yabhon-GRN. The design features a forward swept wing design and has a turbine engine fitted inside the rear fuselage and fed through a dorsal intake.

The project took 5 years to develop and claims to be the world’s first high-altitude high-speed forward swept wing aerial target. The target can reach a maximum altitude of 36,000ft (11,000m) and has a maximum take-off weight of 220kg (485lb). First test flight results have indicated that it can reach speeds of up to 900km/h.
