Orbital’s proven Theater Missile Defense (TMD) and National Missile Defense (NMD) ballistic missile target design philosophy of maximizing residual missile assets and off-the-shelf hardware and technology is being applied to cruise missile targets. This approach provides the U.S. Navy with the best value, lowest risk and highest performance GQM-163A system. The GQM-163A MK 70 Booster/Ducted Rocket Sustainer configuration makes judicious use of residual Standard Missile assets and the $80 million U.S. Government investment in solid- fueled ducted rocket/ramjets. The GQM-163A Ducted Rocket Sustainer is based on technology developed by major subcontractor Aerojet (formerly ARC) under the U.S. Air Force’s Variable Flow Ducted Rocket (VFDR) program. The GQM-163A avionics design is based on the Orbital Launch Systems Group’s multi-program Modular Avionics Control Hardware (MACH) System. The MACH flight computer boasts a modern Power PC core hosting a real-time operating system and a flight proven software architecture based on the Company's common object oriented C++ application framework. Following the EMD phase of the GQM-163A program Orbital received follow-on Full Rate Production (FRP) contracts in excess of 80 production targets, with newer targets being produced with the Orbital designed Front End Subsystem (FES), which introduced several robust technology updates to address obsolescence of the older targets. Under the GQM-163A contract, Orbital has an operational launch success rate of 100%, which includes a successful demonstration of a High Diver trajectory, the Orbital designed FES, and the Orbital designed Target Support Test Set (TSTS). For user flexibility, the GQM-163A target is now operationally capable of launching from three different launch sites around the world. GQM-163A Coyote Supersonic Sea Skimming Target
