Royal Navy Type 45 Destroyer Gunnery Trials Using HGI Generators to Power Targets

摘要

As the Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyers undergo their trials programmes, prior to entering service, gunnery alignment is conducted using a target powered by a radio controlled generator provided by Harrington Generators International (HGI). BAE Systems Surface Ships has awarded a contract to HGI to provide generators for the catamaran towed targets - called HISTARS. The generators power the lamps used to enhance the target's thermal and visible signature.
