High Speed Maneuvering Surface Target (HSMST)

High Speed Maneuvering Surface Target (HSMST) refers to a target on the water that moves quickly and unpredictably, often used for military testing of weapons and defense systems. These targets simulate fast, agile ships or vessels to evaluate how well radar, missile guidance, and interception technologies can detect, track, and engage moving threats. HSMSTs are designed to mimic real-world maritime threats, providing realistic scenarios for assessing defense capabilities against high-speed, maneuvering surface vessels.
