ABSTRACT:
The invention disclosed relates to gun-launched target projectiles wherein a radar-augmentor is included to increase the radar cross-section of the projectile to simulate on radar, an actual airborne threat such as aircraft and missiles. The radar augmentor comprises a base member, a uniform dielectric lens attached to said base member and a resilient support means between said base member and said lens. The dielectric lens is configured to provide a frontal radar return echo which simulates the actual airborne threat on radar.
