Most conversations and news these days seem to revolve aroundtechnology and its impact on our lives. We talk about socialmedia, mobile and cloud computing, data security, and the data
supply chain, expect instantaneous communication and information, andtake for granted such marvels as computer-aided design andmanufacturing, real-time diagnostics, smart machines, and hybridtechnologies.
In this vein, this issue spotlights technological advances of selectedmilitary aircraft systems. To start, John Likakis takes a historical look at theevolution of aerial weapons release, from manually dropping handgrenades and releasing hooks that let bombs fall away to sophisticatedpneumatic ejector units providing controlled release of today's smartarmaments.
Hank Hogan's technical briefing considers the setup, operation, andadvantages of unmanned helicopters and their contribution to conservingfleet resources. James Wynbrandt discusses how legacy F-16s, convertedinto drones, serve as combat-configured aerial targets for lethality testingof weapons systems and air-to-air strike practice.
Our international correspondent, Thomas Withington, examinesinnovations in rotorcraft radios and the challenges of providing securevoice and data communications among aircraft crews and groundpersonnel. Finally, Donna Kelly reveals the way computer-based virtualtraining has transformed the process of preparing future maintainers tosupport ever-more sophisticated aircraft, without removing valuableequipment from active service.
In fact, most discussions of military aviation and the aftermarket focuson the application of technology to the challenges faced by our armedforces. In this age of widespread technology, it remains important toremind ourselves that the central element of any such equation - frombuilding a company to succeeding on a global scale, from idea generationand invention to creation, from prototyping, manufacturing, and productapplication to supply chain management, maintenance, sustainment, andthe making most of the resources at hand - are the people involved.
Therefore, in this first issue of 2015, we at Aviation Aftermarket Defensetake our hats off to everyone involved in this industry: corporate leaders,strategic planners, and managers; scientists, engineers, and designers;system managers, computer programmers, data analysts, andkeyboarders; documentation creators and hands-on instructors;prototypers, product testers, compliance experts, and quality controllers;customer service and field representatives; support desk and officepersonnel; manufacturers and parts producers; suppliers, distributors,supply chain managers, and inventory control teams; packagers, shippers,and transporters; machinists, mechanics, electricians, technicians, andcraftsmen and women of all kinds; maintainers, repairers, overhaulers, andequipment support staff and service providers at every level; andeveryone else who makes sure things get done so that essential missionscan be accomplished.
In particular, we wish to thank all who serve and have served in themilitary, from the invaluable personnel supporting every aspect of ourarmed forces from the ground up to the warfighters who put their lives onthe line. Thank you all for all you do.

Tactair Supplies Northrop Grumman Hawkeye ProgramFounded over 50 years ago, Tactair Fluid Controls,headquartered near Syracuse, New York, is an ISO9001-2008/AS9100 Rev. C certified designer and manufacturerof hydraulic and pneumatic controls for the aerospaceindustry. This wholly owned subsidiary of Young & Franklinis the current design holder with full maintenance capabilities for proprietary productlines originally manufactured by Phoenix Controls, Teledyne's Hydra-Power Division,Kaiser Fluid Technology, and York Industries Aerospace Products.
The company recently announced the award of an additional contract from NorthropGrumman for the delivery of nine ship sets of hardware in support of the E2D Hawkeyecarrier-capable tactical airborne early warning aircraft program. Each ship set consists ofa number of unique items, including selector valves, steering actuators, relief valves, andbrake valves.
Boeing Delivers Neptune to IndiaThe Indian Navy received delivery at Naval Air Station Rajali of a new P-8I, which joins theair fleet of five other P-8Is already in use by the Indian Navy. Two more deliveries in 2015will complete the 2009 contract between Boeing and the Indian Navy.
The P-8I is the Indian Navy's variant of the P-8A that Boeing builds for the U.S. Navy.While the U.S. version is known as the Poseidon, the Indian version is called a Neptune,with the Indian variant featuring added custom components. In recent years the Indianmilitary has called upon Boeing to help modernize its fleet to achieve improved missionreadiness.
Airbus Delivers First A400M to the British Royal Air ForceAirbus has delivered the first A400M military transport plane to theBritish Royal Air Force (RAF). Prime Minister David Cameronattended an acceptance ceremony at RAF Brize Norton for the firstof the twenty-two planes on order. The new transports are to
replace the C-130s in RAF service; because the new A400M can carry approximatelytwice the load or the same load twice as far, fewer aircraft will be required.
The A400M has been hailed as the next generation in military transport, designed toeffectively fly people, equipment, and supplies in and out of conflict zones. It previouslyhas been delivered to such customers as the French and Turkish air forces.

In 1912, the airplane still was moreof a novelty than a weaponssystem, but many enterprising
minds saw its possibilities. Just beforeWorld War I erupted in Europe, theBulgarians faced off against the Turksin what became known as the FirstBalkan War. Bulgarian CaptainSimeon Petrov took the idea ofdropping explosives on the enemyand developed the first objects thatwe might recognize as aerial bombs:streamlined, explosive-filled objectswith fuses that detonated on impact.
During the opening stages ofWorld War I, dropping explosives onthe enemy consisted of the pilot

flying low over the enemy trenches,while his observer (whose primarytask was reconnaissance) tossedhand grenades over the side.Learning of Petrov's design,Germany purchased his plans andsoon put the bombs into massproduction in a variety of weights.The first, small versions, weighingjust a few pounds, still were heavedover the cockpit coaming by theobserver. When it comes toexplosions, bigger is better - and infairly short order, bombs grew largeenough that a single man could notmuscle one out of the cockpit.
Soon, specialized aircraft and
equipment were fielded to dropbombs weighing up to 660 pounds.These bigger weapons weresuspended under the wings of thenew bombers on specially designedracks that could hold the weaponduring flight and release it oncommand. These first racks usedcable-actuated releases.
FREE FALLINGFor those earliest bomb racks,getting the job done was a matter ofsimply releasing the weapon and
letting gravity do the rest. And formany slow-flying modern combataircraft, similar systems still are used.For example, the U.S. Navy's
Lockheed P-3 Orion uses the BRU-14/A, manufactured by theMarvin Group, to carry and dropweapons weighing up to 2,200pounds; the Navy's Sikorsky SH-60LAMPS MK III Seahawk helicopteralso uses the BRU-14/A. The BRU-14/A (the letters stand for BombRelease Unit) uses a linear electro-mechanical actuator (or LEMA) tooperate the hooks that hold theweapon in place on the rack - whenthe hooks are released, the weaponjust falls away.
The BRU-14/A is primarily usedfor carrying the weapons internally(for instance, in the aircraft bombbay). A modified version, the

A MQ-9A Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle prepares to landafter a mission in support of Operation Enduring Freedom inAfghanistan. The Reaper has the ability to carry both precision-guided bombs and air-to-ground missiles
Air Force officials are seeking volunteers for future trainingclasses to produce operators of the MQ-1 Predator unmanned
aircraft.
Guided munitions that deploy fins, such as this Paveway laser-guided bomb being released by an F-15, increased theproblem of weapons flying back up into the aircraft. Higher-powered ejector units push the weapon away from the aircraftas the fins deploy.
aad7.ps 1/9/15 4:12 AM Page 7
BRU-15/A is used on the wings ofthe P-3 to carry Harpoon missiles.It also lets the missile just fall awayto a safe distance from the aircraftbefore its rocket motor fires topropel it to the target. (Thiscontrasts with the rail system usedby most externally carried aircraft-launched missiles: Lugs on themissile ride in grooves on a rail.When the missile motor fires, itpropels the missile along the rail,enabling the missile to gain somespeed before it comes completelyfree of the aircraft, stabilizing itsinitial flight.)
WHEN GRAVITY LETS YOUDOWNFor relatively slow aircraft like the
Orion or various helicoptermodels, gravity is enough toovercome aerodynamic forcesacting on the weapon. As aircraftspeed and maneuverabilityincrease, however, so do thedemands on bomb racks.
With the advent of jets, itbecame clear that simply releasingthe weapon would not work. Thehigh speeds of many modernaircraft create aerodynamic forcesthat can cause even a monster likethe 2,000-pound Mk-84 bomb to"fly" back up into the aircraft afterrelease. The problem becomeseven more acute as the weaponbecomes lighter and/or has moresurfaces. For example, the 500-pound laser-guided Paveway has
fins on the nose and tail, and it hasbeen known to fly back up into anaircraft after release, causingsevere damage.
The solution to the fly-backproblem is to forcibly propel theordnance away from the aircraft.This led to the development ofmodern ejector bomb-releaseunits.
Most bomb-release units inservice today are of the ejector-type, and the majority of thoseunits use pyrotechnic canisters toboth unlatch the weapon-retentionhooks and simultaneously force apair of pistons (some use only onepiston) down against the weapon.The pistons propel the weaponaway from the aircraft with enough

The majority of combat aircraft use the tried-and-true pyrotechnic-powered bomb ejectors. Most current combat aircraft use ejector racks with one or two pyrotechnic cartridges.

speed to (hopefully) prevent it fromflying back up to the aircraft.
Aside from this essential function,ejector-type BRUs feature relativelysimple and light construction,excellent reliability, and fairly simplefield servicing. They also makerelatively low power demands on theaircraft's electrical system. It is this
last feature that has alloweddesigners to gang ejector rackstogether into single-pyloninstallations. These have beendubbed TER (for Triple Ejector Rack)or MER (for Multiple Ejector Rack).
The introduction of the MER
allowed as many as six bombs to becarried on a single wing station. Insimple terms, a MER consists of astructural "strongback" unit to whichejector racks are attached. Theejectors are ganged with three unitsat each end of the strongback. Theyare set so that the two side units areangled away from the pylon, and the
bottom unit faces straight down. TheU.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navyhave both used MERs, though theAir Force stopped using this kind ofejector rack back in the 1990s.
All of this gives mission plannerssubstantial flexibility in aircraft load-
out. For example, an F/A-18 can beequipped with a pair of BRU-32 orBRU-32B/A ejector racks and carry apair of weapons weighing as muchas 4,400 pounds each. Or that sameaircraft can be equipped with a pairof BRU-33A/A units mounted ontothe BRU-32 parent racks and carryup to four 1,000-pound bombs (twoon each rack).
SMART STRIKESSmart weapons have all but replacedthe old "dumb" iron bombs.Modern warfighters demand asmuch accuracy as possible so thattargets are hit on the first pass withno need to restrike; this helps keepcollateral damage and casualties toa minimum. But smart weaponsneed at least some information inorder to perform, and thatinformation has to come from the

aircraft carrying the weapon.The design standards for
carrying smart weapons are laidout in the United StatedDepartment of Defense MilStd-1760. As the Department notes inthe preamble of the standard:
Prior to this standard, anaircraft and the stores whichit carried were typicallydeveloped independently ofeach other or weredeveloped exclusively foreach other. This usuallyresulted in unique aircraft/store electrical inter-connection requirements,the general proliferation ofoverall store interfacedesigns, low levels ofinteroperability, and costlyaircraft modifications toachieve required storeutilization flexibility. Trends instore technology toward
more complex storefunctions which requireincreasing amounts ofavionics data and controlinformation from aircraftsystems were predicted tolead to insurmountableaircraft/store interfacingproblems. The goal is todevelop aircraft that arecompatible with a widevariety of stores and storesthat are compatible with awide variety of aircraft. Thisstandard supports this goalby defining a standardelectrical (and fiber optic)interconnection system foraircraft and stores.
The majority of aircraft pylons andBRUs flying today are MilStd-1760compliant. This means the pylon/BRU combination has a "1760cable" interface that carries data
from the aircraft's targeting systemto the smart weapon. As a result,units such as the BRU-55/A (F/A-18) and the BRU-57/A (F-16)can carry a pair of 1,000-poundsmart weapons. (The JointStandoff Weapon, or JSOW, andthe Joint Direct Attack Munition,or JDAM, are the two mostcommon stores for these BRUs.)
BYE-BYE PYROSAs simple and reliable as modernBRUs are, the pyrotechnic chargesused to actuate these devices canbe problematic. They require allthe special handling of anyexplosive device, whichcontributes to operating expenses.And you have to store them alongwith other explosives, whichmeans taking up preciousmagazine space onboard a ship orin explosives storage at a base.This also means that your supply
10 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15 WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

of cartridges is limited at any giventime.
Perhaps the greatest drawback topyrotechnic systems is the dirt andfouling that the burning chargesleave in the BRU. That dirt andfouling increases aircraft turn timesin surge-sortie conditions, increasesthe overall maintenancerequirements (and expense) of thesystem, and degrades systemreliability.
To overcome the problems withpyrotechnics, BRU designers areturning to pneumatic ejectionsystems. By using compressed gas,the BRU's hook-and-pistonmechanisms can be actuated
without leaving any residue.There are currently a number of
pneumatic BRUs in the field.Cobham's BRU-46Pn and BRU-47Pnpneumatic bomb racks are directreplacements for the existing BRU-46/A and BRU-47/A units (bothof these units are qualified for useon the F-15). Cobham also offers thePneumatic Bomb Ejector Rack(PBER), which is a direct replacementfor the MAU-12 ejector unit currently
used on U.S. Air Force TERs. ThePBER has been integrated on F-16Block 60 aircraft, and Cobham statesthat it can be easily integrated onother aircraft, such as the A-10.
Cobham has also fielded the
BRU-61/A for carrying SmallDiameter Bombs (SDBs) on the F-15E and the F-35. Cobham's BRU-61/A first saw service in Iraq inlate 2006. Designed around theBoeing Small Diameter Bomb (SDB),each BRU-61/A can carry four of the250-pound smart weapons. EachSDB has its own MilStd-1760interface. Compressed air for thesystem is supplied by a small, highlyeffective compressor containedwithin the BRU-61/A unit. Ordnancepersonnel we spoke with areenthusiastic about the systembecause of the greatly reducedamount of maintenance and the fastaircraft re-arm and turn times theBRU-61/A allows.

and uses a compressed-gascartridge. Dubbed the Self-Contained Ejector PneumaticPower Supply (SCEPPS), the gascartridge keeps down thecomplexity and weight of the unit,which tips the scales at a dainty19.4 pounds.
LOOKING AHEADClearly, the future for bomb racksis pneumatic. But that future mightbe a bit slow in coming for anumber of reasons.
First and foremost, there is theproblem of compressed-gassourcing. A physically large unitsuch as the BRU-61/A can actuallycontain a compressor (and thereare two companies currentlymaking small high-pressurecompressors for exactly thisapplication: Marotta Controls andUltra Electronics); however, smallerunits pose problems. The Exelissolution of using a compressed-gas cartridge solves the space
problem but adds recharging timeto the re-arming cycle. Othersolutions are in the works,including plumbing the aircraft sothat an on-board centralcompressed-gas source can supplyeach wing station.
Another problem is makingthese units compatible with olderaircraft. Many combat aircraft canonly supply limited current to aweapons station. For example,some models of the F-16 can onlysupply 10 amps, and that is notenough to power a compressor.Upgrading the power generationof such aircraft may not makefinancial sense; adding plumbingand valving to use engine-bleedair as a pneumatic source islikewise far too expensive.
Nevertheless, BRU designersare looking ahead to the day whenpyrotechnics are bygone. Exelis isworking on its SPECTERpneumatic unit that will be a directreplacement for the MAU-46
ejector units currently flying on theU.S. Air Force's TER-9/A. Cobhamcertainly has more pneumaticdesigns in the works. And otheraftermarket companiesundoubtedly are working toresolve the same issues. The daywill soon come when you can usepneumatics to drop just abouteverything.

Need to get moreperformance out of ahelicopter? Consider
converting it to an unmannedaerial vehicle (UAV). This andfollow-on changes can nearly triplea helicopter's flight time as well asprovide added capabilities. Use ofunmanned helicopters also can
facilitate the increased use ofmanned helicopters in thosesituations where landing facilitiesare limited, such as on a ship.
To see how this is possible,consider the Fire Scout, amanned-to-unmanned helicopterconversion from aerospace anddefense technology giant
Northrop Grumman,headquartered in Falls Church,Virginia. A vertical takeoff andlanding tactical UAV systemdesigned for use aboard U.S. Navyships, the Fire Scout comes in twoversions. The first version, the MQ-8B, was based on theSchweizer Aircraft helicopter, a

3,000-pound gross weight at takeoffcommercial airframe that has beendiscontinued. The latest Fire Scout,the MQ-8C, is created by modifyinga Bell 407 helicopter, a 6,000-poundgross weight at takeoff model.
TRANSFORMATION TOUNMANNEDThe modifications to transform theBell 407 into a UAV involve removinglive pilot-specific equipment andreplacing it with added electronicsand actuators to autonomouslycontrol the helicopter. The spaceand weight savings allow for theinstallation of an additional 400-plus-gallon fuel tank, which substantiallyups the aircraft's flight time.
"You take a standard 4-hour Bellhelicopter and [give it enough fuel
to fly for] 12 to 14 hours," says TomTwomey, Northrop Grumman'sManager of Business Developmentfor the Fire Scout.
Other parts of the unmanned
package include an improved GPSreceiver and inertial navigationsystem. Additional sensors, radar,and even weapons may be installed.
Because the Fire Scout will bedeployed on ships, the aircraft willbe flying through some powerfulradar beams. To prevent the beams
from playing havoc with the FireScout's computer system and othersensitive equipment, the electronicsare installed inside a Faraday cage,also known as a Faraday shield. This
enclosure is made of metallic meshwith rectangles sized so that theystop radar and other long-wavelength electromagneticinterference while still letting in air.

autonomous aircraft on a shippresents particular challenges:there is not much space, and thetouchdown site may be pitchingand rolling. While human pilotslearn how to adjust for theseconditions, the unmanned aircrafthas the advantage of a highlysophisticated control system. "Itsenses inputs thousands of times asecond and can make an updatefaster than a pilot can," Twomeyexplains.
In its various versions, the FireScout has logged thousands ofhours of flight time and has landedrepeatedly on simulated andactual ships. Data from these testsshows that this unmannedhelicopter consistently touchesdown within 18 inches of thedesignated spot.
The actuators used tomanipulate the controls are similarto those found in NorthropGrumman's RQ-4 Global Hawk
unmanned surveillance vehicle,according to Twomey. The twoaircraft are operated in a similarfashion, with a flight plan loadedinto the UAV's system beforetakeoff. Once airborne, that flightplan is often modified, forexample, to accommodaterequests from warfighters togather data about areas or items
of interest. Generally, the UAV isgiven instructions to fly to aspecific point; the destination isset by a human but the actualflying is automatic.
While the actuators andoperation are basically the same,the controlling software differs,
because flying a fixed-wingaircraft, such as the Global Hawk,is different from flying a rotary-wing aircraft, such as the FireScout. With a fixed-wing aircraft,thrust is provided by the enginesand lift by the wings; in a rotary-wing aircraft, the rotors supplyboth lift and thrust. Pilots havecommented that a helicopter is
more challenging to fly than anairplane. Twomey, who has flownboth, agrees.

manned ones. In a 12-hour mission,for example, a manned helicopterwould have to return to a ship threetimes, so at least two aircraft wouldbe needed, along with theaccompanying crew. In comparison,one unmanned MQ-8C cancomplete the same mission.
That force multiplier shows up inanother area. U.S. Navy ships oftencarry two helicopters but only flyone at a time in order to protectagainst a sudden and unexpectedlanding tying up the only spot to setdown. With an unmanned aircraft,the need for this safety factor iseliminated, as the UAV can remainin the air longer and is moreexpendable than a manned vehicle.This means that both the UAV and amanned helicopter may bedeployed at once.
The Fire Scout MQ-8C iscurrently undergoing flight testing,
which should wrap up in 2015.Based on the demonstrated successof a prototype and the performanceof the Fire Scout MQ-8B, NorthropGrumman has a contract with theU.S. Navy for nineteen of the 8Cmodels. There also has beensubstantial interest in the Fire Scoutfrom outside the United Statesbased on what the unmannedvehicle offers.
As Twomey points out, "Theycan get more surveillance at acheaper price and not have to trainpilots at a million and a half a popto do this. They can train somebodyin a month to fly this helicopter."
Thus, the unmanned air vehicleconserves resources both in the airand on the ground. That's a formulathat could cause unmannedhelicopter use to take off.

In the past, training maintenancepersonnel to perform the myriadtasks necessary to keep a
sophisticated jet airborne involvedremoving valuable aircraft fromactive service. Not only did thisreduce operational readiness ofaircraft, it also increased thepotential for unexpectedperformance issues due to errorsmade by inexperiencedmaintainers. To compound theseproblems, our forces are serving
with increasingly aged fleets with acorresponding increase in aircrafton the ground due to main-tenance, overhaul, and repairissues. Therefore, it is more crucialthan ever that maintenancetraining, however essential, not tieup mission-capable aircraft.
The good news is that thetraining devices used for aircraftmaintenance personnel in thetwenty-first century have caughtup with the current capabilities of
video gaming and simulation,allowing for more comprehensivetraining scenarios and enhancinglearning. Advanced companieshave created computer-basedtrainers - involving whole aircraft,selected systems, and/or virtualrepresentations of either - thatrealistically teach future main-tainers how to do their jobs.
VIRTUAL RENDERINGThe DiSTI Corporation of Orlando,Florida, has been a leader invirtual rendering, creating complextraining programs that replicateaircraft systems. In the majority ofcases, DiSTI builds its virtualtrainers to meet the specificationsof a government contract. Forexample, the company created theF-18C virtual maintenance trainer(VMT) according to the U.S. Navy'srequirements.
The F-18C VMT can be used toperform over 500 maintenanceprocedures in a virtual environ-ment, allowing maintenancetrainees to learn just about everytask they need to know. Thisincludes maintenance of theelectrical, hydraulic, powerplant,

and fuel systems. All flightlineinspections, including preflight,postflight, and "thru-flight"inspections can be taught, includingthe launch sequence and aircraftmarshaling.
Let's say you are an electricalspecialist. As an instructor, the VMTgives you a full wiring diagram fromwhich you can choose a specificwire, anywhere in the aircraft, to be"virtually" broken or shorted. Thestudent is instructed to startdiagnosing and troubleshooting theproblem. This is done by tracingwiring on a full 3-D aircraftpresented on a computer screen, allthe while referring to theappropriate technical manuals.
The investigation is done in realtime, as if the student was walkingaround an actual aircraft. In mostcases, he or she will have to open upaccess panels. If a particular accesspanel has sixty screws or fastenersthat have to be removed, a novicewill be tasked with locating andunfastening every one, using his orher "equipment" (tools from a virtual
toolbox). The instructor can allowmore experienced students (whoalready know where the panel is andhow to open it) to skip this step;they can just click on the panel, andit will open.
Once the access panel is open,the student sees the variouscomponents, cabling, and hosinginside, just as it would look in anactual aircraft. The next step isfinding the specific cable that needsto be removed.
Once the cable is located, thestudent is typically presented with a2-D overlay of the face of that cableand can select the male or femaleside of the connector; clicking onthe chosen end causes it to unscrew.A multimeter is selected from thevirtual toolbox, the probe on thereceiving side of the meter and theleads are connected, and the leadsare dragged and dropped,connecting to the virtual pins.
Turning on the multimeter with aclick, the student can adjust it tocheck for voltage, resistance, orcontinuity. (The multimeter is exactly
like the real one that would be used,because DiSTI has made virtualreplicas of the many types in use bythe various services.) After checkingthe readings, he or she worksthrough the problem, following thesame steps as on a live flightline.
DEVELOPING THE MODELDiSTI has photographed everyaircraft and system represented inthe VMT, using technical manuals tosupply the maintenance data foreach aircraft. Because the F-18C isan earlier-made trainer, it usespaper-based technical orders, whilenewer models, such as the F-35, useelectronic maintenance manuals.
The state-of-the-art F-35 featuresan onboard computer system knownas the Autonomic LogisticsInformation System (ALIS), and it isthe heart and brains of the fifthgeneration aircraft. (Whenconnected, ALIS works the same,whether dealing with a virtualmaintenance trainer or an actual F-35.) Because ALIS tells themaintainer what is broken, there are
F-16 VMT by DiSTI Corporation of Orlando, FL demonstrating airflow around,and from within the aircraft using virtual streamers.
Students troubleshooting electrical problems with the DiSTI Corporation VMTwill use virtual multimeters of the same brand and type in use at their actual
aircraft maintenance units.

less troubleshooting steps;instead, more time is spent onlearning specific procedures to fixdiagnosed problems.
There are three ways to get thedata for developing the virtualenvironment. In the case of thelater F-18E models, DiSTI workedwith Boeing, which provided theCAD (computer-aided design)data. Since the 3-D CAD functionaldata is primarily about how tobuild the aircraft, DiSTI had torepurpose the data it received forits purposes. Additionally, the CADreference points and graphicscome to the virtual trainingprogram renderers in limited, basiccolors; this data is integrated withphotographs to create a full-colorvirtual environment.
The second method ofobtaining the data for the virtualtrainer is to use 3-D scanningtechnology. This involves scanningevery part of the aircraft and usingthat data to produce the 3-Dvirtual environment.
The third way, the old "triedand true method" is handmodeling. Beginning with a bunchof photographs and a ruler, thecreators of the virtual trainer gothrough and build the virtualenvironment piece by piece.
Scott Ariotti, Director of GlobalMarketing for DiSTI states, "At theend of the day, when you comparethe time it takes to do each of themethods, it is hard to tell whichwas the original source used toproduce the final environment.When you get the geometry fromCAD data, there is a lot of cleanupfrom the other side. While handmodeling is more labor-intensive,you are building it to run in a real-time environment straight up."
INCREASED INTERACTIVITYMEANS INCREASED LEARNINGA division of Boeing located in St.Louis, Missouri, uses DiSTI virtualenvironments to create its VMTs.
These devices reach a pinnacle ofrealism, utilizing the aircraftOperational Processing Facilitiesand Mission Computers forresponses and indications identicalto those of the actual aircraft.Utilizing avatars as part of thesimulation and training experienceas well as support for joint trainingscenarios is a current capability.
Boeing's robust VMT devicesprovide "free play" capabilitiesversus solely scripted scenarios.This enables the instructor tomanipulate the virtual aircraft asneeded and not have to follow ascript line by line. Students alsocan free play and work on modulesout of sequence.
Boeing's VMT is built on afoundation of actual missionsystems software and engineeringmodels. Like the DiSTI trainers,Boeing's devices support allmaintenance tasks, major systems,and subsystems, as well ashundreds of diagnostic tasks andprocedures across the completespectrum of maintenance training.The VMT systems can be tailoredaccording to customerrequirements and specific trainingneeds.
Each aircraft system module(avionics, flight controls,hydraulics, fuel, powerplants,environmental control, landinggear, and armaments) includes aselection of simulated faults and
tasks for the instructor to choosefrom. Faults are identified by levelof complexity, ranging from"initial" faults addressed in basictraining to uncommon "career"faults that are complex in nature todiagnose and repair. Tasks rangefrom general servicing andaddressing routine failure items toin-depth troubleshooting of theless common faults - all based onfleet experiences.
The maintainer will use thesame F/A-18 technical manuals inboth the training and squadronenvironment to performoperational testing and faultisolation on the selected aircraftsystem. Additionally, all of therequired aircraft supportequipment needed to completethe assigned task is simulated.
INTELLIGENT TUTORING ANDCONTENT MANAGEMENTBoeing's Intelligent TutoringSystem (ITS) streamlines theauthoring and deploymentprocess using standardizedcognitive task analysis, Web-basedtechnologies, and intuitive toolsfor subject matter experts andinstructors. To enhance learning,the ITS maintains a dynamic recordof each student's performance toenable remediation and adaptsimulation experience based onperformance.
Boeing's content management
The Boeing VMT is designed to represent realistic flightline maintenance activities. When utilizing the VMT theend-users (instructors and students) interface with 3-D

processes and tools enableconfiguration management andtraceability to the authoritative data.Content management in this contextis the ability to store, organize,configure/manage, and control theavailable information, as well as torecover, display, and publish vastamounts of digital training contentwith direct lineage to platformdesign systems. The companymanages the assets, software logic,and instructional content, as well asthe overall training system.
SCALABILITY AND MOBILITY Depending upon the requirementsdetermined through the task andmedia analysis, the Boeing VMT hasbeen demonstrated to be usable onplatforms as small as mobile phones;it also can be used on tablets andlarger devices. Systems consisting oflarge touch-screen monitors, whichoften include integrated aircrewstation hardware for specific types oftraining that require increased spaceand power, are less mobile and moresuited for a situated classroom.
The VMT may be self-containedon a device or delivered over theInternet. It may be configured forone student or multiple students on
the same device or on multipledevices. Additionally, the instructorcan remotely configure, monitor,administer, and control the student'sVMT.
Boeing's trainers come in manyshapes and sizes. The largest wouldbe full-up aircraft, such as theApache L7: an entire Apache L7 isinstalled with specialized aircraftwiring to insert faults. Theconfiguration may include a specialair-conditioning unit and instructorstation.
Component trainers may bedesigned to teach maintenance of aspecific section of an aircraft orsubsystems, such as landing gears.Customers can choose to have a fullsection of the aircraft or just thelanding gear mounted on a metalframe.
Fully virtual training systems takethe actual components out of theloop. These systems may includemultiple touch screens, an instructorstation, and a support equipmentcabinet. Some systems may bedownsized for a desktopenvironment, though the supportequipment cabinet still may beneeded to host operational flightprograms or other mission-unique
emulations.Power requirements vary
depending on the device. Full VMTsgenerally have a 60-amp 110-voltplug that runs everything; the samerequirements as when theapplications are run on a desktopcomputer. Power needs for trainerswith real aircraft hardware dependon the type of hardware, which,again, can run the full gamut.
A LEAP FORWARDIn summation, virtual maintenancetrainers represent a leap forward inthe training of military aviationmaintainers. The interactivity ofthese systems allows for deeperlearning because, unlike the oldmethods, they can be reviewed andrevised as much as needed toensure the future maintainer mastersthe task at hand. And if in theprocess of this instruction, aninexperienced maintainer makes amistake on a training system, thatmistake will not keep an actualaircraft on the ground.

It may seem like waste to shoot aperfectly operable fighter jetout of the sky for target
practice. But it's the law.In accordance with Title 10,
Section 2366 of the U.S. Code, amissile system must undergolethality testing against a combat-configured Full Scale Aerial Target(FSAT) before the production
program is approved. For air-to-airor surface-to-air missiles, thattarget must have the flightcharacteristics, radar and infraredsignatures, and performanceenvelope - including supersonicflight at altitudes up to and above50,000 feet - of a fighter jet. Giventhose requirements, for this typeof testing, there is no substitute
for the real thing. "When it gets out there with
combat troops, we don't want toput anyone in harm's way with aweapons system that doesn'twork," says Paul Cejas, ChiefEngineer on the Boeing programthat is bringing this testingcapability into the twenty-firstcentury. As part of the program,Boeing is currently developingwhat the U.S. Air Force is calling"the next generation" FSAT: TheQF-16 Viper.
CREATING THE QF-16Since the early 1990s, the QF-4Phantom has fulfilled the Title 10testing mission. (The "Q" in thename is the U.S. Air Forcedesignator for FSATs, morecommonly called drones,unmanned aerial vehicles, orUAVs.) But with the inventory ofsalvageable F-4s dwindling andthe gap between its performanceand that of modern platformswidening, the Air Force began

evaluating replacement options latein the last decade.
In 2010, the service awarded theBoeing Corporation of Chicago a$69.7 million contract to convert sixmothballed F-16s into FSATs. This isPhase 1 of a program to convert upto 126 of the aircraft under the QF-16 Air Superiority Targetprogram. Ultimately, the drones willserve in the U.S. Air Force's WeaponSystem Evaluation Programs astargets, in accordance with Title 10requirements. Secondarily, the FSATswill give pilots valuable air-to-airshoot-and-kill experience beforethey enter combat.
The air-to-air evaluation program,known as Combat Archer, isconducted by the 53rd WeaponsEvaluation Group (WEG) at Florida'sTyndall Air Force Base and NewMexico's Holloman Air Force Baseand is directed from Eglin Air ForceBase, also in Florida. The WEG's fivesquadrons include the 81st RangeControl Squadron, the 82nd AerialTargets Squadron (ATS), and the
83rd Fighter Weapons Squadron atTyndall Air Force Base, andDetachment 1 of the 82nd ATS atHolloman Air Force Base. TheWEG's units provide all U.S. AirForce support for FSAT operations inFlorida's Gulf Range and the WhiteSands Missile Range in New Mexico.
Boeing set the challenging goalof proceeding from contract,through design and hardwarebuildup, to first flight of the Viperdrones in just 2 years. UnderBoeing's risk reduction strategy,engineers incorporated both reverseengineering and rapid prototypingprocesses in moving toward theirobjective. An "X-ray Backscatter NonLine of Sight Reverse EngineeringSystem" was employed to designrequired "Q" conversionmodifications.
Meanwhile, rapid prototypingsped development of the smoke-generation system (which addsverisimilitude to pilot combattraining), the scoring system (whichtallies "lethality" during training and
weapons testing), and thetermination system (for destroyingthe drone in the event ofmalfunction). Laser scan data wasused to generate 3-D models thatenabled engineers to determine theoptimum space for placement of therequired components and the morethan 3,000 wires added to connectthem.
Engineers also had to learn howto tap into the electrical systems anddisplays without affecting the F-16'sperformance. One of the greatestchallenges, Cejas says, wasdeveloping the flight software thatenables the aircraft to land safely.
Boeing exceeded its targettimeline by only 2 months, with thefirst prototype QF-16 Viper takingoff, with a pilot onboard, in May2012 from Boeing's facility at CecilField in Jacksonville, Florida. Jointtesting with the U.S. Air Force atTyndall Air Force Base began thefollowing January. The testingcontinued from Cecil Field andTyndall Air Force Base, with the QF-16 making its first pilotless flightin September 2013.
On that flight, the Viperperformed a series of maneuversand reached supersonic speedsbefore returning to Tyndall Air ForceBase and landing. Similar testsfollowed from Holloman Air ForceBase over the White Sands MissileRange. The full transformation of theaircraft from a stock LockheedMartin F-16 Fighting Falcon to theQF-16 Viper was completed a yearlater in September 2014 in the GulfRange over the Gulf of Mexico.
"We flew a full operationalmission and had the first air-to-airmissile shot," Cejas recounts. "Wehad a direct hit and blew up that firstairplane - a successful kill."
The mission marked theconclusion of the Viper's operationaland range qualification testing. Thatsame month, the U.S. Air Forceapproved commencement of low-rate production of the QF-16.

QF-16 DRONE
aad23.ps 1/9/15 4:18 AM Page 23
24 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15 WWW.ABDONLINE.COM
According to U.S. Air ForceLieutenant Colonel Ryan Inman,Commander of the 82nd ATS,"Now, we have a 9G-capable,highly sustainable aerial target."
FROM FALCON TO VIPERThe F-16s used in the program aremothballed Block 15/25/30airframes pulled from the"boneyard," the desert storagearea at the AerospaceMaintenance and RegenerationGroup (AMARG) located at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base inArizona. (AMARG was previouslynamed AMARC, the AerospaceMaintenance and RegenerationCenter.) "Regenerated" toflightworthy condition bypersonnel from the 508thSustainment Wing, headquarteredat Hill Air Force Base in Ogden,Utah, the F-16s are then ferried toCecil Field.
Once at Boeing's facility, theretired F-16s are stripped of theVulcan six-barrel, 20-millimetercannon and other unneeded parts.The flight controls are modifiedwith the assistance of BAESystems, of Endicott, New York,manufacturer of the F-16's originalflight controls system.
Unlike the F-4's mechanical
controls, the F-16's fly-by-wiresystem is digital. This enables theuse of plug-and-play hardware andsimplifies the conversion.Proprietary avionics that supportremote piloting, datalink, andother systems are installed. Eachairframe is allotted a specificnumber of allowable flying hours,ranging from 20 to 300, based onits condition.
Given their fate, nothing is doneto improve the cosmetics of thefaded, sun-bleached aircraft.However, the tail, wingtips, andhorizontal stabilizers are painted abright orange, the distinctive liveryof all Q models.
At the time of this writing in late2014, regenerated F-16s for thefirst two production lots have beenreceived from or are in the worksat AMARG. Thirteen QF-16s arescheduled to be completed in2015 and twenty-three are to becompleted in 2016, with thisportion of the contractrepresenting $62 million.Conversions have been taking 4 to5 months, and Boeing is aiming toreduce that time by an additionalmonth.
OPERATING THE QF-16Most people think of FSATs as
unmanned aircraft. But themajority of missions are flown witha pilot onboard to take commandin the event of a malfunction.
Even with a pilot onboard, theaircraft are usually controlledremotely, at Tyndall Air Force Baseby the Gulf Range Drone ControlSystem and at Holloman Air ForceBase by the WITS (White sandsIntegrated Target control System).The aircraft can be flown"manually" by the groundcontroller, using a joystick andkeyboard, but most flightsconducted to evaluate tactics andelectronic warfare andcountermeasure operations aresteered by computer for greaterprecision and repeatability ofmaneuvers. The programmedflight track typically includes anautomatic landing.
It is only when the aircraft goesNULLO that a human never againflies aboard the aircraft. Theacronym for "not under live localoperator," and Latin for "zero"(signifying the number of crewmembers onboard), NULLO is thedrone equivalent of being placedon death row. For the QF-16,conversion to NULLO status is asimple modification.
Cejas explains, "About the only
aad24.ps 1/9/15 4:18 AM Page 24
25WWW.ABDONLINE.COM AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15
thing we have to add is a couple ofactuators: one actuator to latch thecanopy when [there is] no pilot in[the cockpit], and one for emergencygear extension if [controllers] have toblow it down [should the landinggear fail to properly deploy]." Theoxygen bottle is also removed,replaced by the warhead of an AIM-9 missile, the active ingredient in theflight termination system. In event amalfunction renders the aircraftuncontrollable, the terminationsystem is used to destroy theaircraft.
DESTROYED FOR THE GREATERGOODWhether due to malfunction or atthe conclusion of a flawless mission,all FSATs share the same fate. Thesedrones are destined to be destroyedin this crucial test process so thattomorrow's U.S. and Alliedwarfighters can live.
Many of the contractors workingon the program are former militarypersonnel who flew or maintained F-16s in their service careers. "They'veenjoyed getting these old birds back
in the air and take a lot of pride [inthe refurbishments]," Cejas states.Yet he acknowledges that the vetsoften have mixed feelings about theprogram: "They hate to see theirairplanes get shot up, but also see itas a final tribute. These airplaneshave pretty much finished theiruseful lives."
For instance, Boeing test pilot andformer U.S. Air Force F-16 pilotJason Clements helped prepare thefirst test QF-16 for its final flight.Clements aptly refers to theexperience as "a little bitter sweet."
GOING OUT IN STYLEF-16 aficionados can take comfort inknowing the program also will helpextend the service life of latermodels of the Fighting Falcon.Having thoroughly explored theaircraft's avionics and electricalsystems, Boeing has developedconcepts for upgrading the avionicssystem in the current fleet; thecompany is talking to the U.S. AirForce about options for an avionicsmodification program.
"The [U.S.] Air Force is looking at
potential software and hardwareupgrades that can make [the F-16] amore capable, safer product downthe road," Cejas says. He cites anenhanced capability of dealing withloss of communication among thepotential improvements. "I thinkthere's a lot of [upgrade] potentialfor a lot of jets," the engineerpredicts.
In addition to the U.S. Air Force,the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps,and U.S. Navy also will use the QF-16 to evaluate their ownweapons systems. Meanwhile,Boeing hopes a follow-on contractwill boost total production up to 210QF-16s over the next 10 to 15 years.
As for his own role in the F-16transformation and its possibleoffshoots, Cejas comments, "This isthe epitome of my career, this is whyI became an engineer" He adds,perhaps all too appropriately, "To beable to take this airplane and figureit out and make it work, it's been justa blast."

Military radios areemployed both for voicecommunications and for
transmitting and receiving data.While a wide range of programsand waveforms are utilized inthese communications, militaryradios for rotorcraft have a numberof distinct design characteristics.Innovation in this realm is primarilybeing driven by the need toincrease the volume of voice anddata communications available tocrew members. It also is
expanding the use of relativelynew mediums, such as satellitecommunications (SATCOM), andnewer forms of CommunicationsSecurity (COMSEC).
Like most radio systemscurrently in use, both military andcivilian aircraft radios are now"software defined." That is, theradio automatically performs manykey functions, such as frequencytuning, previously requiringmanual adjustments by a radiooperator.
Military software-defined radiosemploy various programs
designed to optimizethe hardware toperform certainfunctions. Forinstance, thesoftware mayoptimize the radio'stransmission power,how it transmits itscommunicationstraffic and,
important for amilitary radio,
select theCOMSEC
cryptosecurity (signal encryption)that the radio will employ toprevent the aircraft's transmissionsfrom being intercepted byunauthorized parties.
In addition, different radios areset up to receive variouswaveforms available for air-to-airand air-to-groundcommunications. Today, state-of-the-art military helicopter radiosare available from a host ofsuppliers in Europe, Israel, and theUnited States.
EUROPEAN EFFORTSEuropean offerings include thoseof Rohde and Schwarz of Germany.This company offers the M3ARfamily of very high frequency (VHF)airborne radios, operating at 30 to174 megahertz, as well as ultrahigh frequency (UHF) models,operating at 225 to 400megahertz. Such radios utilize theHAVE QUICK-I/II and SATURNwaveforms.
The HAVE QUICK-I/II waveformemploys slow-frequency hopping:the radio changes its frequency ina pseudo-random sequenceseveral hundred times a second.The SATURN randomly changes itsfrequency several thousand timesa second. A decoding key isrequired to effectively listen totransmissions, but neitherwaveform is inherently encryptedand generally is used with anencryption device to increasesecurity. HAVE QUICK-I/II is usedextensively by the U.S. armedforces, particularly for air-to-ground communications as well asshort-range air-to-aircommunications. The NorthAtlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) makes extensive use ofthe SATURN waveform for bothair-to-air and air-to-groundcommunications.

standard waveforms, these radiosystems also can be programmedwith national equivalents, such asGermany's SECOS frequency-hopping waveform. SECOS can beused for data communications,transmitting at rates of up to 16kilobits per second for this purpose.The Rohde and Schwarz MR6000Rand MR6000L radios are intended forfixed-wing aircraft, and the MR6000Ais designed to equip militaryhelicopters. The latter model is usedon board the Airbus Helicopters EC-665UHT Tiger attack helicoptersoperated by the Heeresfliegertruppe(German Army Aviation).
Another company developingsuch equipment is French defenseelectronics specialists Thales, whichmakes its NextWave radio formilitary helicopter users. Like theM3AR family, NextWave supportsHAVE QUICK-I/II and SATURN,company-developed waveformssuch as GeoMUX, and otherwaveforms that may be used by non-NATO forces.
According to Christophe Dress,Communications, Navigation, andIdentification Marketing Director atThales, GeoMUX "cansimultaneously transmit voice anddata traffic, and has a Blue ForceTracking capability." (Blue ForceTracking refers to the cartographicpresentation of the positions offriendly troops on the helicopter'smap.)
Dress describes the company'sLX-16 waveform: "This can carry 250kilobits per second of data, althoughthis can be increased to 750."Operating in UHF, LX-16 cantransmit voice communications,typed messages, and also "trackdata," namely, depictions of friendlyand hostile aircraft on radar.NextWave outfits NH Industries'sNH-90TTH/NFH medium-lift utilityand maritime support helicoptersused by Belgium, France, theNetherlands, and Spain, amongothers.
Thales is currently working on the
next generation of military helicopterradios, which will supersedeNetxtWave. At the heart of its effortsis the CONTACT program, anoverarching modernization of theradio systems used by France acrossits Armée de Terre (French Army),Armée de l'Air (French Air Force),and Marine Nationale (French Navy)for communications. The CONTACTprogram commenced in 2011 withThales as the prime contractor; aspart of this contract, the firm isdeveloping a new airborne radio.
The CONTACT radio will carrythe new ESSOR (European Secure
SOftware defined Radio) waveformthat is being developed by Finland,France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, andSweden. ESSOR aims to develop awaveform all of its users can employfor ground-to-groundcommunication and air-to-groundcommunications. The goal is to
improve the ability of these nationsto operate together when deployedon combined military operations.The CONTACT radio and the ESSORwaveform are expected to becomeavailable by the end of the decade.
ISRAELI RADIOSWhile most radios surveyed in thisarticle can perform voice and datacommunications, Rafael AdvancedDefense Systems of Israel haschosen to prioritize datacommunications with its Global Linkmilitary helicopter radio. This isbased on the fact that the ability to
move data around battlefields isincreasingly important: armiesemploy unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) to take digital images, andthese images must be shared almostinstantaneously with air forces thatmay be tasked with defendingagainst or attacking hostile forces

depicted in the images.According to Ron R., Director
of Command, Control,Communications, and Intelligenceat Rafael Advanced DefenseSystems, the Global Link radio isable to handle data rates as fast as2 megabytes per second. (Rafaelhas a policy of not revealing thefull name of employees for securityreasons.) The ability to carry suchhigh data rates dramaticallyincreases the volume of dataavailable to helicopter pilots.
Ron stresses, "This is not avoice radio, although it couldperform some voice over Internetprotocol communications." Thiswould be done in a similar fashionto the civilian Skype Internettelephone service. At the time ofthis writing, Rafael was completingthe installation of Global Link onthe Colombian Army's SikorskyUH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
U.S. INNOVATIONSThe armed forces of the UnitedStates are in the process ofperforming an ongoingmodernization of their militaryradios, including those used bytheir helicopters. As part of thiseffort, Northrop Grumman andRaytheon have joined forces todevelop the AN/ZRC-2 Small
Airborne Radio.The AN/ZRC-2 is designed to
provide SATCOM, along withconventional UHF. Other usablewaveforms include the MobileUser Objective System (MUOS), anarrowband SATCOM waveformthat is being introduced across theU.S. military. The use of SATCOMwaveforms provides militarypersonnel on the ground and inthe air with the ability to performlong-range, over-the-horizon
communications. (VHF and UHFradio transmission are limited to aline-of-sight range, whereasSATCOM enables communicationsacross the globe.)
Other waveforms to be carriedby the AN/ZRC-2 include theWideband Networking Waveform(WNW) used to move largequantities of data around thebattlefield, and the Soldier RadioWaveform (SRW) used by troopson the ground for non-widebandcommunications. U.S. Army aircraftthat are expected to receive the
AN/ZRC-2 include the Boeing AH-64D/E Apache Longbow/Guardian attack helicopter and theBoeing CH-47D/F Chinook heavy-lift rotorcraft.
Another U.S.-based supplier ofradios for military helicopters isRockwell Collins. Its offeringsinclude the AN/ARC-210 andAN/ARC-220. Both of these radioscarry National Security Agency(NSA) Type-1 cryptography.Waveforms carried by theAN/ARC-210 include the SRW.According to Mike Jones, RockwellCollins's Vice President andGeneral Manager forCommunication and Navigation,the MUOS waveform also is beingintegrated into the radio.
Export versions of the AN/ARC-210 are available withoutType-1 cryptography in the form ofthe RT-8100 and 629-F23 radiofamilies. Each radio in these seriesdiffers in regard to the level ofsophistication.
In U.S. service, the
AN/ARC-210 and AN/ARC-220radios are carried by a number ofrotorcraft, including U.S. MarineCorps Sikorsky MH-60R/S medium-lift utility and MH-53L/K heavy-lifthelicopters and Bell-Boeing CV-22C Osprey tilt-rotor. The radioalso is used by the U.S. Air ForceHH-60G Pave Low combat searchand rescue helicopters and MV-22Osprey Special Forces aircraft.

AIRBORNE CAVALRY?
Take a circular metal frame the size ofa 55-gallon drum cover, bolt a four-cylinder, water-cooled 43-horsepowerMercury outboard motor on top, andadd a waist-height post to hold on to.Underneath, mount two belt-driven,counter-rotating 15-foot rotor blades;under that, rig buoyant bags to serve aslanding gear. Then, send a combat soldier, with no normal pilot training, upabove a battlefield to reconnoiter at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. Thiswas the plan behind the de Lackner HZ-1 Aerocycle, supported and studiedby the U.S. Army in 1954.
The designers believed that the nature of the platform would allow it tobe guided simply by tilting the soldier's body in the proper direction;minimal training (as little as 20 minutes) was supposedly needed to safelytake to the air. The craft was designed to lift the pilot and up to 120 poundsof cargo; auxiliary fuel tanks could extend the range to 50 miles. There waseven a scheme to carry slung loads beneath the landing gear. Someenthusiasts had dreams of a technological airborne cavalry.
Further testing dashed those dreams. The craft could not be reliablypiloted by minimally trained infantry. And problems developed with theunderslung blades kicking up debris and even inter-meshing and shattering.The project was abandoned.

Fire Scout
In January 2006, the newly developedFire Scout RQ-8A helicopter successfullyput down on the amphibious transportship Nashville off the coast of Maryland.The Fire Scout, an unmanned aerialvehicle (UAV), landed autonomously,without any pilot control, while the shipmaneuvered as fast as 17 mph. This wasthe first such landing, and it opened anew chapter in situation awareness for the U.S. Navy, particularly for spottingand tracking small boats.
The RQ-8A was succeeded by the MQ-8B. Originally championed by theU.S. Army as an agile weapons carrier, the MQ-8B was adopted by the U.S.Navy for ship-based reconnaissance and other duties. It has ably served in anti-piracy operations for the U.S. Africa Command and in diverse roles inAfghanistan and Libya. (You also may recall the rare case in 2010 when a FireScout became unresponsive to controls and wandered into restricted airspaceover Washington, D.C.)
The MQ-8B soon will be joined in service by the MQ-8C - designed forgreater endurance and larger payloads. The two UAVs share autonomouscontrol systems, software, avionics, and ship ancillary equipment as well assome sensor and weapons modules. A notable difference lies in endurance.The 8B can achieve 5.5 hours with a 300-pound payload; the faster 8C can stayin the air for an impressive 12 hours with the same payload, promises threetimes that lifting capacity, and has a higher operating ceiling.

Early Eyes in the Sky
In some cities, TV news helicopters have become nuisances, even interferingwith investigations. Back in 1931, in more innocent times, the Detroit Newscreated a sensation by buying and operating a Pitcairn PCA-2 autogyro - asuitable choice for news gathering because it could stay airborne at lowspeeds, could take off and land in small spaces, and could come close tohovering for short periods.
That same year, the U.S. Navy evaluated the PCA-2, but the design wasnever adopted for military use. It did achieve a military milestone: it landedon the deck of the USS Langley, becoming the first rotorcraft ever to land ona ship at sea. A derivative of the PCA-2, the PA-18, which boasted astrengthened structure, more power, and better handling, provided convoyescorts for the Australian Fleet Air Arm in 1940.
An autogyro consists of a conventional propeller-driven fuselage with afree-wheeling rotor mounted above. The propeller provides forward motion,and movement through the air turns the rotor, providing additional lift.Despite their simplicity and low cost, autogyros were soon replaced by"true" helicopters.

Rotorcraft Mini Me
Reconnaissance tactics have not yetreached "fly on the wall" status, butthey are getting close. The BritishBrigade Reconnaissance Force inAfghanistan has been using tinyhelicopter drones equipped with acamera that transmits full-motion videoand still images back to personnelmore than half a mile away.
This mini helicopter, the BlackHornet Nano, is part of an unmannedaircraft system developed by theNorwegian company Prox Dynamics.Measuring just 4 inches long and 1 inch high, the Black Hornet Nano spins a4-inch rotor; its mission-ready weight is 16 grams. To enhance stealth, itsdiminutive motor is nearly silent. It has GPS and is capable of autonomousflight. Despite its small size and apparent delicacy, the mini aircraft has beenruggedized to handle the shocks, dust, and winds of a combat theater.
The Black Hornet's greatest utility may stem from its personal nature. TheUAS is deployed as a small kit containing two helicopters and a controllersimilar to a game console pad. Numerous soldiers can have their own kits toflexibly meet reconnaissance needs.
Useful as they are, however, the Black Hornets are not cheap. A £20million (about $31.3 million) contract procured only 160 drones.

Attack Pioneer
Despite the widespread use of helicoptersduring the Korean War for medical transportand troop movement, the attack helicopterwas nowhere to be found. The French ArmyAir Corps (Aviation Légère de l'Armée deTerre, or ALAT) determined to change that.Experimenting with a Sud-Ouest (later SudAviation) S.O.1221 Djinn light helicopter, theCorps launched the first recorded missile strike from a helicopter in 1954.
The S.O 1221 was an unlikely candidate for an attack aircraft. With alargely transparent cabin holding two crew members, an empty weight ofonly 704 pounds, and a fuselage less than 18 feet long, it hardly looked thepart of a war machine. However, the weapon it fired, the Nord Aviationmanual command to line of sight (MCLOS) wire-guided anti-tank SS.10missile, meant business, accurately delivering its 11-pound hollow charge at80 meters (262 feet) per second.
The S.O.1221 Djinn had another distinction: the rotor was propelled notby a rotating shaft but by compressed air expelled from the rotor tips. The240-horsepower Turbomeca Palouste IV turbo-compressor engine providedno direct power. Instead, it served as the source of the compressed air forthe rotor jets.

Octodecacopter
Octodecacopter may never be acommon word, but there is atleast one device to which itproperly applies. For several yearse-volo, a German company thatcarries out experimental aircraftdesigns, has been working toscale up the quadrotor lifterdesign seen so often in hobbyistdrones. The result is the VC-200 Volocopter.
This strange but graceful craft is capable of carrying two people aloft,lifted by eighteen rotors, arranged in two concentric rings around alightweight fuselage. Multiple test flights of several minutes have beencarried out thus far; the proposed production version is predicted to have aflight duration of about an hour.
Flight control is achieved by changing motor thrust on appropriaterotors. Rear rotors are accelerated, creating more rear lift and tilting the craftforward. All rotors then add to forward propulsion.
E-volo views the Volocopter as an innovative experimental design as wellas potential practical transportation. Its all-electric propulsion isenvironmentally friendly, and the unique drive system makes it easier to pilotthan a conventional helicopter. Others apparently recognize this potential:after posting its maiden flight video last year, the company raised a crowd-funding investment of $1.64 million in less than 4 days on the GermanWebsite Seedmatch.
