SQ20 (7f2b8d46-53bc-56aa-8298-3a7fbd86c60e)
The SQ‑20 is a French‑made, fixed‑wing target drone developed by the CNEF LATTA workshop of the 17th Artillery Group (Biscarrosse). Built from extruded polystyrene, fiberglass and epoxy, it is radio‑controlled and piloted by line‑of‑sight, with optional semi‑automatic or fully automatic navigation. Its primary role is to serve as a lightweight aerial target for anti‑aircraft training, allowing infantry, machine‑gun and cannon crews to practice fire‑at‑aircraft engagements while a SECAPEM acoustic proximity sensor records projectile impacts. Variants include the SQ‑M training model, the SQ‑A model with navigation assistance, and the SQ‑AL “largueur” version that can release additional payloads for floating‑target scenarios. The system is operated by the French Army and is not intended for weaponisation.
