The Firebolt is a turbojet-powered VTOL aerial target designed for testing a wide variety of weapons platforms, including air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles. Launched from land or the deck of a ship without the need for catapult or rocket-assisted takeoff equipment, the highly versatile system can be programmed with a range of different speed and manoeuvrability profiles.
