QinetiQ Target Systems has received an order from the Canadian Department of National Defence for more than 40 Hammerhead unmanned surface vehicle (USV) targets. 

5-meter Hammerhead was designed to replicate the fast inshore attack craft (FIAC) threats. powered by a 135hp 3-litre MerCruiser engine, the vessel can reach a top speed of 35kt in Sea State 3 and has an endurance e of 5 hours at 30kt. It can be fitted with visual, laser and radar signature enhancements, enabling the USV to mimic a range of threats.

QinetiQ is displaying a full-scale mock-up of Hammerhead at DSEI 2017 fair.
