Between 1996 and 1997, the ASP H-2176 was reconverted into a testbed for the avionics and radar of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). Now known as the 'Hack', the only major structural modification besides the removal of the rotodome assembly, was the addition of the LCA's nose cone in order to accomodate the Multi-Mode-Radar (MMR). Special provisions include a GPS based target tracking system, the Sigma-95 INS, a high density data recorder, a mission crew intercom system, ARINC-429 plus MIL-STD-1553B databuses, a dedicated thermal management system and an 120 KVA APU with 115V-400 hz AC, 230V-50 hz AC and 28 DC supplies. The aircraft also hosts 15 consoles with an equal number of operators. The post-processed data from radar testing is analyzed on the ground using the appropriate software tools. Even as the Hack was being configured, some elements of the ASP H-2175, now the only remaining ASP, were still undergoing integration, the fully integrated ASP system ready for demonstration only by August 1998...
