Launch Site: Wake Island. LV Family: Minuteman. Launch Vehicle: SR19/SR19.- PTV - .
Nation: USA.
Type: ABM Target. Apogee: 300 km (180 mi).
ABM Target for Patriot missile battery. Intercept over Kwajalein. Janus was designed by Orbital ATK to provide a realistic threat target meeting the requirements of the U.S. Army's PATRIOT program. The Janus target utilized a refurbished SR-19 “Flexseal” motor for its first and second stage. The rocket lifted from its launch pad at Wake Island with the assistance of two U.S. Army M26 Multiple Launch Rocket System strap-on boosters. Both stages completed their nominal burn patterns placing the Re-entry Vehicle into the defended footprint of a PATRIOT fire unit. In addition to Orbital ATK's work as the prime contractor for the target, ASRC Federal Space & Defense provided mission assurance services to independently verify and validate the Janus Target's performance.
