Surrogate Missile Development MAST-M
SURROGATE MISSILE DEVELOPMENT
AEgis is the lead developer of the Missile Airframe Simulation Testbed – MANPADS (MAST-M) for the AMRDEC. MAST-M is a surrogate missile system to be used for the test and evaluation of installed Aircraft Survivability Equipment.
- Low cost recoverable, reusable design for non-destructive ASE flight testing
- Threat Signature, trajectory and velocity matching
- Real IRCM response and quick 4 hour turnaround between tests
- EO/IR Sensor Payloads to include seekers and radiometers

Test Missiles Mast-M Surrogate MANPADS Missile Systems for Test and Evaluation of Aircraft Survivability Equipment
AEgis Technologies, works with the US Army Aviation and Missile Research and Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), developing a recoverable surrogate MANPDS missile system, the Missile Airframe Simulation Testbed – MANPADS (MAST-M), capable of engaging Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) while guaranteeing collision avoidance and missile recovery to insure a cost-effective non-destructive test and evaluation of the ASE.
