Israel Offers Mini
Harpy, Loitering Munition to Countries in the Asia Pacific Region Such as India
Israel Aerospace
Industries (IAI) is offering its Mini Harpy, loitering munition to countries in
the Asia Pacific region.
The Mini Harpy
combines the capabilities of the company’s two flagship loitering missiles, the
Harop and the Harpy, offering detection of broadcast radiation with electro
optical capabilities. The Mini Harpy covers a broad area of interest and
responds to a broad range of threats and launching scenarios :
Neutralizing of
radiation emitting threats such as radars and additional systems
Electro Optical
Threat detection: high quality video footage for the operator
Launching from a
broad range of mobile land platforms as well as marine platforms
Multiple tools
per area unit
The Mini Harpy
is a tactical system designed for field or marine units. It can be launched
from land, marine and helicopter borne platforms, providing complete
independence in intelligence collection for an updated situational picture and
closing the attack circle at low cost.
The loitering
missiles are launched towards the target area. They loiter the sky until the
threat is detected. Upon detection, the systems locks in on the threat and
attacks it for a quick, lethal closure.
The system was
designed to provide operators with control up to the last moment.
This system is
electrically powered, it is extremely quiet, operates in mission range of 100 kilometers
for duration of two hours and is 45 kilogram in weight.
Russian new Stealth fighter among contemporaries like Tejas Mk2 and Gripen-E
The Sukhoi aircraft design bureau has started work on the
design and development of Single engined stealth fighter with a Maximum take of
weight of 18 tons that could put it little over India’s 17.5 tons Tejas Mk2 and
16.5 tons of the Saab’s Gripen-E creating the first stealth fighter jet in 20
tons fighter jet category that is often called as Medium weight.
Sukhoi plans to use one Izdeliye 30 engine that is developed
for the Sukhoi 57 program that means it will have a thrust class of around 180 kiloNewton.
Tejas Mk2 and Gripen E both are powered by General electric’s
F-414 variants that generate 98 kiloNewton
of thrust, which until now was the best in its class. Izdeliye 30 engine will
also come with thrust vector control nozzles, which also makes it first in
class.
Some of the leaked designs of the alleged Single engine
Stealth program belonging to Sukhoi shows that it will have a Smaller Internal
weapons bay and generally most of its heavier payloads will be required to be
equipped on its external pylons, thus compromising on its stealth aspects when
not on stealthy missions.
Unlike F-35 that has an Maximum take of weight 31 tons and a
bigger internal weapons bay that can carry a minimum of 4 Advanced Medium-Range
Air-to-Air Missile, it’s not clear if Sukhoi’s 18 tons Stealth aircraft will
have the same space luxury to carry 4 R-77 Beyond Visual Range.
On the other hand Gripen-E will be using its superior
electronic masking technology to reduce its radar signature and Tejas Mk2 will
use improved composite panels to reduce its frontal radar cross section.
Sukhoi seems to be targeting those customers who will be
retiring their Mig-29 and F-16s in the next few years, since even for India and
China, Sukhoi-57 was branded as expensive and thus their was a market for
cheaper single engined stealth aircraft.
