Canberra-based Boresight has unveiled its BQ750 target drone that the company says marks its next step in the defence sector: building bigger drones designed to be destroyed. The company’s target unmanned aerial systems give counter-UAS operators realistic, repeatable threats to detect, track and engage, supporting training, testing, validation and red-teaming for military and security customers worldwide.
Building on the success of its inaugural BQ400 platform, the BQ750 is larger, flies longer and carries a payload, opening the door to additional applications. Critically, it slots into Boresight’s proprietary Ground Control Station, which can fly up to 10 BQ400s and BQ750s simultaneously and supports “hot-swappable” control between aircraft.
The expansion answers direct customer demand for platforms of varying sizes and types. Boresight is also developing fixed-wing platforms and pursuing a SWARM-capable roadmap, while holding CASA approval to fly up to 20 target drones at once in Australia.
Boresight has sold 6,000 drones over the past five years, supplying defence and industry customers across Australasia, North America, Europe and the Middle East. The pitch is straightforward: affordable, realistic threat emulation delivered at the volume recurring training actually demands, rather than one-off showpieces.
Boresight delivers an integrated aerial target drone ecosystem that enables realistic counter-UAS training and testing for defence forces. The company’s systems combine attritable aerial target drones, mission planning software and scalable ground control systems to support threat emulation and operational readiness.
Boresight’s platform range includes quadrotor and fixed-wing aerial targets designed to replicate evolving drone threats and enable repeatable training scenarios without risking high-value ISR assets.
