The Reentry Target Vehicle (RTV) was drop tested during Mission 16. This vehicle serves as target which simulates the terminal flight of nuclear warheads, for the training of antiballistic forces. The RTV is transported at an altitude of 60km from where it is accelerated towards earth by a rocket booster, reaching a hypersonic speed of Mach 6.6. Starting from that moment the interception window for the antiballistic interceptors is open.
