The KD2C was a target drone, powered by a pulsejet engine and intended for air-launch for use in fleet gunnery training.

[1] Control was provided by a radio command system, assisted by a gyrostabilizer.

The KD2N could reach a top speed of 335 miles per hour (539 km/h) and had an endurance of 30 minutes.

The Skeet's internally mounted pulsejet proved unsatisfactory, however, as it produced low speed and high fuel consumption in both wind tunnel and flight tests at the Navy's Missile Test Center at Point Mugu, California.

[1] The U.S. Navy donated a surviving KD2C-2 to the National Air and Space Museum in 1971; it is on display in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
