  • Patent number: 7333044
    Abstract: A rocket tube for housing a reloadable rocket motor is connected to a spacer element and a wire-rider element. A sensor target for reflecting radar signals is screwably attached to the rocket tube. The sensor target is provided with a plug for effectively sealing one end of the rocket tube with the other end of the rocket tube being utilized to reload a rocket motor upon completion of a test firing. A guide wire is threaded through the wire-rider element with the guide wire serving as a travel path. The rocket tube, spacer element, and wire-rider element are connected in an easily assembled, aerodynamic manner that allows for multiple radar tests using the same components within a brief time period.
