The existing Target comprises of 2 no. coal barges, which are approximately 30 metres each in length with the deck sitting roughly 4 metres above the sea bed.
The range has been in use since 1926, due to this the discovery of unexploded ordinance is common throughout the entire area which is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The new targets will be formed of two barges that will be 30m in length by 6m in width and 5m in height orientated alongside the existing targets. These new barges will form a 60m long target at 5m high. The new target barges will be constructed off-site with flooding ports, which can be sealed for transport and opened once in position.
The work scope is as follows:
- Off-site construction of 2no. new target barges including workshop drawings
- Transportation to site
- Undertake Unexploded Ordnance Survey and removal as required prior to siting
- Clear Unexploded Ordnance around new barge position
