러시아와 중국의 SS-N-27 Sizzler 미사일을 고려한 미사일 방어시스템의 개발을 위해 제작하는 미사일로 알고 있습니다. 그리고, ATK가 이번해 말까지 미해군의 long-range anti-ship missile 개발에 참여 회사로 뽑힐 확률이 높은 걸로 미 언론도 보도했습니다.

ATK Awarded $97 Million Contract to Develop the Multi-Stage Supersonic Target for the U.S. Navy
Target Will Provide U.S. Navy with Eval‎uation of Combat Systems Necessary to Counter Surface-to-Surface Missile Threats

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alliant Techsystems (NYSE: ATK) announced today that it has been awarded a $97 million contract for the design, development, integration, and test of the Multi-Stage Supersonic Target (MSST) by the Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland. With incentives, the value of the contract announced today could reach $103 million. The system design and development phase of the program is expected to be complete by October 2012. Once this phase of the program concludes, the company believes there could be follow-on production awards that generate significant business for ATK over the next decade.

The MSST will simulate a two-stage anti-ship cruise missile threat. It consists of a two-stage unmanned aerial target, a launcher, and associated support equipment. The U.S. Navy will use MSST to eval‎uate the operational effectiveness of weapons/combat systems against next-generation surface-to-surface anti-ship missiles that cruise at subsonic speeds, initiate a separation event, and then make a supersonic dash to the intended target.

Under terms of the contract, ATK and its teammate, CEi of Sacramento, Calif., will build two engineering eval‎uation units and seven engineering development models. MSST is the foundation for ATK's targets and anti-ship missile strategy and is the result of an innovative design team and world class systems engineering tools deployed in ATK's virtual engineering network. The MSST will provide threat representation for the developmental and operational testing of major weapon systems. Work will be performed in Sacramento, Calif., Woodland Hills, Calif., Plymouth, Minn., Elkton, Md., and Wichita, Kan.

ATK is a premier aerospace and defense company with more than 17,000 employees in 21 states and approximately $4.6 billion in revenue. News and information can be found on the Internet at http://www.atk.com/.

유도탄이라기 보단 타켓드론으로 봐야겠지요. 예전에 보잉을 통해서 구 소련의 Ka-31a 도 MA-31 이라는 이름으로 저고도 초음속타켓으로 활용한바 있으니... 이번 ATK의 계약은 coyote 초음속 타켓의 연장선상으로 봐야하는거 같은데...결국 타켓개발에 사용된 램젯 기술이 초음속 대함미사일에 쓰이긴 하겠지만....

타겟드론 맞습니다. 그런데, 글올릴때 적합한 카테고리가 없었서 유도탄으로 결정했습니다 ^^
