Raytheon Company: Raytheon Showcases Leading-Edge Technology​

Aero India, held in Bengaluru, India, this year offers a forum to showcase Raytheon’s leading-edge technology. Many of these capabilities, such as advanced sensors and combat-proven weapons, are well-aligned with current Indian priorities, including the Indian Air Force Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) competition.

Examples of technologies Raytheon will showcase at Aero India 2011 include:




Integrated Sensor Suite: Raytheon will feature the combat-proven APG-79 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, ALR-67(V)3 advanced radar warning receiver (RWR), ALE-50 towed decoy, and the ATFLIR targeting pod, which comprise baseline equipment on frontline Block II Super Hornets for the U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F and Royal Australia Air Force F/A-18F aircraft. For the F-16IN, Raytheon offers an advanced electronic warfare suite and towed decoy system.
Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface Weapons: Raytheon offers a suite of platform-independent, air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons including: Advance Medium Air-to-Air Missile, AIM-9X Sidewinder, High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile, Joint Standoff Weapon, Enhanced Paveway™ II and Maverick.

Maritime Surveillance Solutions: A subset of Raytheon’s platform-independent global ISR services, our maritime surveillance capabilities have already been sold to Indian customers, including the APY-10 radar for the P-8A, and growth opportunities include the SeaVue eXpanded Mission Capability radar and AAS-44C(V) multi-spectral targeting system for the Indian MH-60R.

Raytheon has delivered more than 1,900 maritime radars for a variety of platforms worldwide, including the P-8A Poseidon, P-3, B-350, the Predator unmanned aircraft, as well as a FLIR system for the MH-60R search-and-rescue helicopter. Raytheon’s maritime surveillance capabilities are available for use on India’s fixed-wing, rotary-wing, manned and unmanned systems.


Silent Guardian: For the first time in India, Raytheon will demonstrate the company’s non-lethal Silent Guardian directed energy solution. Silent Guardian emits a focused beam of millimeter wave energy that travels at the speed of light and produces an intolerable heating sensation that causes targeted individuals to flee, but causes no injury.
Raytheon is a global technology leader in the areas of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); integrated air & missile defense; missile systems; radar/sensor; command, control and communications (C3); and homeland/internal security (including coastal and maritime security).

Raytheon currently does business with more than 80 countries worldwide, and has had a presence in India for more than 25 years. As reported on a recent conference call with investors, in 2010, 23 percent of Raytheon’s sales were to international customers, and its international revenues increased by 10 percent over the past year. Raytheon's sales to international customers are the highest (in terms of percentage of total company sales) among larger aerospace and defense contractors.

Aero India: Indian Army takes delivery of more powerful Dhruvs​

February 11, 2011
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) officially handed over to the Indian Army Aviation Corps (AAC) the first Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH) powered by Shakti engines at Aero India in Bangalore on 10 February.
At a handover ceremony, Maj Gen P. K. Bharali, the additional director general of army aviation, received the first five of the twin-engine craft.
The Dhruv Mk.III is different from its predecessors by being powered by the new Shakti turboshaft engine co-developed by Turbomeca and HAL.
However, this is not the only change in the ALH. Dr. Prasad Sampath, general manager of HAL’s Rotary Wing Research and Design Centre, traced the progression of the Dhruv: ‘The Mk.I, powered by Turbomeca TM 333 2B2 engines, featured a conventional cockpit and minimal vibration control, while the Mk.II that appeared in 2007 had a glass cockpit and first-generation active vibration control. The latest Mk.III features second-generation active vibration control, Shakti engines and additions to the cockpit displays.’
Shakti engines mate a HAL gearbox and 1,032kW Turbomeca engine. The latest Dhruv Mk.III can carry a 200kg payload at an altitude of 6,000m. This compares with a payload of just 50-100kg for the incumbent 825kW engine. A high-altitude capacity is a critical requirement for the Indian Army.
The same Shakti engine powers the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) that made its public flying debut at Aero India 2011.
The powerful Shakti engine will also be a boon for Dhruv Weapon System Integrated (WSI) variants that carry a 20mm cannon, rockets and Mistral missiles on external pylons.
A Turbomeca spokesman said that the engines for the first five Dhruv Mk.IIIs were built in France, but that future units would be assembled in India from kits.

Namwar Cheubey, HAL Engine Division’s chief supervisor (customer services), revealed that HAL has already received 65 kits from France, although components will increasingly be built in India. Turbomeca will produce the engine as the Ardiden 1H1.

A total of 159 helicopters will eventually be inducted into the Indian armed forces, with all future production craft featuring Shakti engines.

By now the chief has talked about increasing the squadrons further by 4-5, its better to have a separate deal with Saab to fast induct it along with MRCA.
