Astra JV to Start Production of IAF-selected BNET Software Defined Radio in October
July 5, 2020 Editor-Defence Industry
By ARIE EGOZI

Tel Aviv: The local production, of the Rafael BNET software defined radio selected by Indian Air Force (IAF), in India will begin in October.

The systems will be manufactured by Astra Rafael Communication System (ARC),a joint venture of Israeli company Rafael and an Indian company Astra Microwave.

The facility operates at Hardware Technology Park close to Hyderabad international airport.
The Israeli company will supply 1,000 systems that will be integrated into all the IAF combat aircraft.

The 5th generation BNET is the main communication system of the Israeli Air Force’s existing and future platforms.
It replaces existing radio systems installed in aircraft and according to the Israeli company while half in size and weight, it offers a very wide communications channel for data.

According to Gideon Weiss, Director of marketing and business development , air and C4I division, the SDR system optimises the spectrum utilisation, while the use of advanced waveforms deliver high speed networking, supporting live video, image transfer, voice and data.

According to Rafael, the BNET communication systems have been selected by the air forces of Brazil and Colombia, and is now competing in other countries.

The senior Rafael official added that the BNET allows the aircraft to achieve a fully networked communication system between airborne platforms and ground naval forces. The system is seamless and it allows the transfer of data including video images in unprecedented rates.

The Israeli system has been selected after a competition with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), US company Rockwell Collins and Rhode & Schwartz of Germany.

Rafael says that the use of ad-hoc networking optimises the spectrum utilisation, while the use of advanced waveforms deliver high speed networking, supporting live video, image transfer, voice and data. Reliance on SDR also ensures ‘future-proof’ upgradability and interfacing with legacy systems.

As per Rafael, the system that has been selected is based on a new family of SDR systems developed by the company in recent years.

Rafael began the development of BNET as a ground based network, and later adapted the system for airborne and air-ground applications. The company has transferred considerable elements of the system development and production to India, enabling local partners to share a major part of the programme in the current phase and also benefit from its future spinoffs.

According to Rafael, the efficiency of BNET as an adaptable network means that the airborne communications could provide in the future the basis for advanced terrestrial communications, supporting land-based applications as well.

[Rafale+Meteor+Spectra]

IAF in Feb 2019 signed an order for 1400 BNETs of which 400 to be direvtly suppplied by Israle and 1000 from this JV. All to be delovered by Sept 2021 (30 months).

BNET SD radios are impossible to jam or eavesdrop on:

Rafael is thus proposing its BNET 5th generation radio suite, “which I might define as the ‘military Telegram" (a secure messaging app for smartphones), Aron Dovrat says, “the BNET generates a cloud in which every single radio is both a repeater and a modem.” Not only, every single item is also a spectral analyser, thus in case of jamming or interception the whole system automatically shifts on a different frequency. Maximising spectrum efficiency led to the availability of a wide band that allows transmitting streaming videos, while the system can easily be connected to the internet when needed.

Everything these Indians buy or make are out of this world. Tactical data link, jam proof technology, Su-30 the raptor of east, LCA the fighter that can compete F-35 and beyond, Arjun the holy grail of mechanised division etc.

But when they try to execute they get whipped on the *** so hard that even adversaries smile. Such is the nature of Indian hooligans

These dum and fools are buying Russian tech and integrating Nato standard equipment in them. I can only smile and laugh. They love to ride on multiple countries at same time, typical desi mentality.

@NAVDEEP DHALIWAL does not know.

The Rafales that IAF will receive this month will be missing the following key features. These features will be only available 6 months after all 36 fighters have been delivered.

So Technical Indian Rafales will be combat ready only after 2023. This is even as we discount pilot's skill, experience and tactics in using Rafales.

The enhanced capabilities in the Rafale fighters sought by India will see 14 India Specific Enhancements Exclusive to be incorporated to India bound 36 Rafale fighter jets which will be added by the company once the delivery of all the jets is completed by 2022. 14 India Specific Enhancements for India bound Rafale fighter jets have been listed out

1) Upgraded Sigma 95N INS: A Hybrid inertial navigation/GPS system used on the Dassault Rafale fighter jets will now support Indian developed Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS ) also called as NAVIC which provides accurate real-time positioning and timing services for India and a region extending 1,500 km around it.

2) Upgraded RBE-2 AESA-MMR: RBE2 AESA radar developed by Thales will now feature Airborne weather radar which will come in handy to predict more timely and accurate weather conditions.

3) Enhanced OBOGS: Rafale fighter jet comes fitted with an onboard oxygen generation system (OBOGS) which suppresses the need for liquid oxygen re-filling or ground support for oxygen production, but India has asked for Enhanced OBOGS system which will have enhanced capacity supporting additional filters.

4) Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS): Thales developed Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) contains Air Traffic Surveillance Awareness capabilities like a Terrain Avoidance Warning System (TAWS) which will improve the level of awareness and comfort of the flight crew.

5) Tweaked M88 Engines: Rafale fighter jet which uses M88-4E engines will receive tweaks to its fuel starter so that engine can operate at optimum even at sub-zero high altitude air base of Indian air force.

6) IESI (Integrated Electronic Standby Instruments): Thales developed IESI will be installed to operate in a particular set of environmental conditions and features accurate low airspeed measurement to cope with the flight envelope while avoiding additional weight due to external air data computer.

7) Quad-Pack Ejectors: Rafale fighter jet will be getting French developed Quad-Pack Ejectors which can be used for low weight Stand-Off Weapon both of Indian and foreign origins.

8) X-Guard fiber-optic towed decoy system: India bound Rafale fighter jets will be getting X-Guard fibre-optic towed decoy system which is designed to counter air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles. Each aircraft carries two X-Guard towed decoy and can be released when the aircraft approaches a saturated area or when a threat is detected. The most suitable countermeasure is transmitted to the X-Guard by the aircraft’s electronic countermeasures system. The fiber-optic connection to the aircraft allows accurate jamming, says Rafael.

9) Tweaks to SPECTRA Electronic Warfare System: India specific threat libraries will be added and SPECTRA EW System will also feature Low- Medium and High band apertures to deal with low observable aircraft.

10) TARGO-II Helmet Mounted Display Systems Developed by ELBIT

11) Integration of LITENING G4 Target Acquisition Pod which are already used by Indian Air Force for its frontline fighter aircraft, including the Su-30 MKI, MiG-29

12) Integration of Rafael’s SPICE 1000 EO/GPS-guided munitions

13 ) MBDA developed Meteor BVRAAM and ALARM Anti-radiation missile

14) Assistance to be provided to local Indian Public sector companies for Integration of Weapons ranging from India’s Astra BVRAAM to High-speed low drag (HSLD) bombs with the aircraft’s weapons control system. India bound Rafale fighter jets are also rumored to later get specific Indian enhancements which can come handy in the delivery of Nuclear weapons, which obviously will not be confirmed by Indian or French governments.

https://idrw.org/14-india-specific-enhancements-exclusive-to-india-bound-rafale-fighter-jets/ .

These are extra enhancements India asked for which will be incorporated in time once these are tested and Cerrtified. That doesn't mean Rafale can't work.
Take example of engine enhancement, if engine can't work whats the point of delievery ? They can very well, keep the them stored in France. Lol
Don't go with media, iAzf would be stupid to do that, they would rather get default aircrafts and pay for enhanceme extra if that was the case.

As I said rafael will only be used in a pinch or last resort. Otherwise su30 and 29 etc r good enough for now.

Not our problem if Pak has no counters to such advanced tech.

If I am daydreaming then what about Su-30 the raptor of east. Why do you cry of its poor quality and gone for Rafael? You havent gotten over LCA yet rather started HANUMAN generation fighter jet?
Some serious questions. Which data-link have you finalized? Israeli radios, last time I heard they were in Su-30s?

Never take indian BS seriously!!

Nothing is impossible to jam.

Not possible to jam BNET except with quantum jammers (still 15 years away).

Su-30 MKI still eagle of the east. Rafale is better just like F-22 is better than F-15. LCA is operational.

We never had any Israeli radios on jets before and also BNET will also be datalinks core

Its not panic. Indian defense buying policy is fukd up. Thanks to China now army has perfect opening to get things with speed, which otherwise would have taken years to acquire.
All the purchasing you are seeing have been stuck in some file of a politicians office.
Take eg of su29, atgm etc army asking for them past many years
