A mobile target system with a driverless, self-propelled tractor vehicle on relatively low profile and a low profile, wide track trailer with a long drawbar articulately connected to the tractor. Projectile targets are carried by the trailer. The control for the tractor controls the vehicle to drive along a selected path. This may include a ground wire that the tractor follows and a radio control unit for initiating an excursion of the target along the path. The separation of the traction and the target stability functions allows the use of a relatively small, easily steered tractor vehicle, while the target carrying trailer may be a relatively easily steered single axle trailer with a high stability wide track. Separation of the target from the tractor provides some modest protection for the tractor.
