Abstract
An inflatable target support system having a minimum radar cross section, a high mechanical strength, an ultra-high rigidity and a high load bearing capacity. The system comprises a thin, inflatable, stressed-skin membrane in the shape of a right cone which is sealed at its narrow end by a extremely rigid, plug and sealed at its wide end by a chamfer shaped base so as to provide exceptional rigidity to the system.
