Breaking on Tarmak007: Tejas test fires R-73 close combat missile

&


As a run up to the impending achieving of IOC and release to service, a Tejas detachment has been operating from INS Hansa in Goa, conducting the last phase of flight trials. One of the main objectives of the current phase of flight trials was clearing the firing envelope of air to air close combat missile from the Tejas. The R-73 missile, which is the chosen air to air close combat missile for the Tejas. The missile is integrated with the on-board Digital Stores Management System (SMS) and Open Architecture Mission and Display Computer. The missile selection is performed from the high resolution Multi Function Display (MFD) pages integrated with the state of the art on-board avionics. All these equipments form the IOC standard of Avionics.
The test firing was done from the Tejas LSP-4 aircraft, piloted by Gp Capt. George Thomas, Group Director (Flight Test Operations) of the National Flight Test Centre, ADA. The test aircraft was accompanied by a chase Tejas piloted by Gp Capt Suneet Krishna. This critical test was closely monitored and controlled by the Test Director Wg Cdr Toffeen, supported by the safety pilot, Gp Capt (Retd) RR Tyagi, from the mobile telemetry positioned at the test location. The data and video from the test aircraft were also available at the base station in Bangalore through a dedicated fibre optic link set up for this purpose.
This flight test demonstrated the following important requirements of the user:
a) Safe separation of the missile from the test aircraft.
b) No Missile plume effect on the engine operation.
c) Avionics and Weapon system functionality and safety interlocks.
d) Aircraft Handling quality assessment during missile release.
e) Effect of missile plume on the composite structure.
More firings of the missile are planned during the current week leading to CCM firing envelope clearance for the Tejas. The composite team of ADA, HAL, NAL and ADE designers is involved in the planning of the subsequent firing tests. The aircraft are being supported outstation by a composite HAL and IAF team with DGAQA and CEMILAC personnel. The result of this critical test has added yet another feather on the cap of ‘Team Tejas’ and the entire team is looking forward to the successful completion of the balance tasks.
 
.
so the above test is done in conjunction with the Radar or it was the normal test carried like last time without any Radars?

this thing has got potential and with a ge 414 engine it will be a killing machine for sure:sniper::sniper:

You tube blocked... but this is a new test as per tarmak... But need details whether it is Radar guided or the same blind test


The R-73 is an infrared-guided (heat-seeking) missile with a sensitive, cryogenic cooled seeker with a substantial "off-boresight" capability: the seeker can "see" targets up to 60° off the missile's centerline. It can be targeted by a helmet-mounted sight (HMS) allowing pilots to designate targets by looking at them. Minimum engagement range is about 300 meters, with maximum aerodynamic range of nearly 30 km (18.75 mi) at altitude.


It is not radar guided. But the test should not be termed as "blind" AFAIK.

This flight test demonstrated the following important requirements of the user:
a) Safe separation of the missile from the test aircraft.
b) No Missile plume effect on the engine operation.
c) Avionics and Weapon system functionality and safety interlocks.
d) Aircraft Handling quality assessment during missile release.
e) Effect of missile plume on the composite structure.

Display And Sight Helmet (DASH)

The Elbit Systems DASH III was the first modern Western HMD to achieve operational service.

The current production variant is deployed on IDF F-15, and F-16 aircraft. Additionally, it has been certified on the F/A-18 and F-5. The DASH III has been exported and integrated into various legacy aircraft, including the MiG-21. It also forms the baseline technology for the US JHMCS.

The DASH GEN III is a wholly embedded design, where the complete optical and position sensing coil package is built within the helmet . DASH is closely integrated with the aircraft's weapon system, via a MIL-STD-1553B bus.

Many thanks ganimi kawa:-)

Does you any pictures of tejas where pilot wearing HMC

Is this one integerated with R-73? today there was a news we did some integration with out Russia help.. Any information if the test carried with DASH will be really fruitful

There is no direct statement regarding this from the ADA. However, looking at the different releases from ADA et al, we can alwys connect the dots and get a clearer picture.


1. From Tarmak007. (The part you quoted)

“This is the first time a Tejas platform flew with a missile and later fired in the IOC-standard avionics system.

“The very fact that the missile was integrated and tested on an Indian platform without the participation of the OEM [Russia], shows the strength of India in handling such complex technologies. It is significant for all of us,”


2. From aviation week

“The density of air and humidity is very high in Goa. This time during the sea-level trials we are evaluating the radar, helmet-mounted systems and instrument landing systems,” a source said. “We will also test the radar warning receiver.”


Add up the bold parts above and we can safely infer that R73 is integrated with the DASH.:cheers:

^^Wow its really a great news then....

The DASH system is looks like the same as F-35's

are we developing our own or using same one as shown ,,,

i doubt that semtel is developing that for our tejas like other equipment
