The Advanced Tactical Air-Launched Decoy and Target (ATALD) features a distinctive modular design that enables its use as an air launched target. The active decoy is used in Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) missions, enhancing survivability of friendly aircraft and guided munitions by saturating enemy air defense systems with multiple false targets with individual target Radar Cross Sections (RCS) and velocity. The ATALD can simulate attacks against early warning radars, causing air defense systems to expend resources on the decoys.
