India marketed its supersonic cruise missile BharMos at the Dubai Air Show, one of the largest and most important aerospace events, on Tuesday.
With an eye on the Middle East market, a stall at the air show pavilion has been telling inquisitive visitors about the superior qualities of the missile that has been jointly developed by India and Russia, reported The Times of India.
The missile is being promoted under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flagship ‘Make in India’ scheme.
“This is the only supersonic missile on display. It’s faster than the subsonic missiles from other countries that are on display. It superseded most popular subsonic missiles”, said BrahMos Aerospace general manager market promotion and export Praveen Pathak, told the TOI. Pathak said that BrahMos Aerospace was promoting all versions of the supersonic missile.
The BrahMos missile, with a range of 290 km and a Mach 2.8 speed, is capable of being launched from land, sea and sub-sea pads against sea and land targets. In March this year, India successfully tested an extended range version of the missile, whose reach was increased from 290 km to 400 km.
BrahMos is considered the only supersonic cruise missile in the world. The missile was first inducted in the India Navy in 2005.
India has carried out tests of the air-launched BrahMos missile from specially-modified Sukhoi-30 fighter jets. The missile’s land and naval variants – 500kg heavier than the air version – are already in service.

Emirati Light Attack Aircraft Breaks Cover
- November 13, 2017, 3:12 AM
With a pedigree tracing back to the Embraer EMB 312 Tucano, Calidus’s PT6A-powered B-250 is a brand-new light attack/training aircraft equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics. The company said it intends to begin manufacturing the type in the UAE.
Unveiled at the Dubai show this week, the Calidus B-250 is a light attack/trainer aircraft that has been developed in Brazil but which will be built in the UAE by Calidus (Chalet A34-35) as part of the Bader program. A facility is being completed in Al Ain to build the aircraft, which is intended for a range of duties, including ISR, counter-insurgency, close air support and training.
Developed under conditions of some secrecy in just 20 months, the B-250 has been designed by Novaer at São José dos Campos, near São Paulo, under the leadership of Joseph Kovács, who created the Embraer Tucano. The B-250 draws on Kovács’s work in producing the redesigned Golden Aircraft/US Aircraft Corporation A-67 Dragon, but incorporates significant elements of composite structure. It has a stepped tandem cockpit and is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68 that develops 1,600 shp.
The avionics are provided by Rockwell Collins in the form of the touchscreen Pro Line Fusion system, which supports a digital head-up display. Calidus is performing the missionization of the system and will handle further updates, drawing on Fusion’s open systems architecture.
For the ISR/light attack mission the B-250 is fitted with an electro-optic turret and can carry a range of weapons on its seven hardpoints. The example in the static display is being shown with GPS-guided bombs from Tawazun Dynamics, the LIG Nex1 LOGIR imaging infrared precision rocket and DS-16 smart munition. Avibras Skyfire-70 and Equipaer 70-mm rocket pods are also on show.
A second B-250 is taking part in the daily air display.
Alongside the B-250 is the T-Xc Sovi basic trainer aircraft, which is also a Novaer design, first flying in Brazil in 2015. The side-by-side aircraft has a pressurized cabin that permits a service ceiling of 25,000 feet, and it can be powered by either piston or turboprop powerplants. Novaer designed the aircraft with an aim of providing a successor to the Brazilian air force’s aging T-25 Universal and T-27 Tucano fleets.

...
With four GBU-58 Paveway II 250-lb laser-guided bombs, two self-defence Sidewinder AAMs and a drop tank, the B-250 is able to attack a target 560 naut miles (1,037 km) distant, flying at 250 kts. For surveillance only, with turret and three tanks, that increases to 1,180 naut miles (2,185 km) at 280 kts.
Ferry range is 2,400 naut miles (4,445 km); endurance 12 hrs; maximum level speed 301 kts (557 km/h) and payload, 3,960 lb (1,796 kg). Operational cost is said to be less than $1,200 per flight hour.
Calidus has complete ownership of the B-250’s intellectual property, so the scene is now set for production of the UAE’s first manned combat aircraft. The next Dubai Airshow starts on November 17, 2019; we may see more of the B-250 then.

UAE is Launch Customer for Multi-spectral Recon Pod
Nov 13, 2017 - 10:29 AM
UAE’s ministry of defense announced at the Dubai Airshow 2017 that it has ordered the MS-110 reconnaissance pod from UTC Aerospace Systems/Goodrich. The deal is worth $140 million and covers an unspecified number of pods. The UAE is the first customer for the multi-spectral derivative of Goodrich’s DB-110 dual-band sensor system that has been acquired by more than a dozen F-16 operators, as well as being operational on the F-15, Tornado and P-3 Orion. The UAE air force already operates the DB-110 on its F-16s.
The UAE air force’s other fighter community—which flies the Dassault Mirage 2000—is also benefiting from recent deals through the placing of a $120 million order for the P3 guided bomb from Tawazun Dynamics. This new weapon is being shown for the first time at the Dubai show, both on the Tawazun Dynamics stand and under the Calidus B-250 in the static park.
In other deals announced on the second day of the Dubai air show Global Aerospace Logistics was awarded a contract worth nearly $400 million to provide logistics and maintenance support for UAE Joint Aviation Command helicopters, while Advanced Integrated Systems received a $130 million contract to provide support services for an unspecified reconnaissance aircraft. Maximus Air received a follow-on contract to provide heavylift support for a further two years, while SCG was contracted for UAV services.

A look at the products of QinetiQ which signed an agreement with a UAE company for the transfer of technology and manufacturing of its products..
It is worth noting that the company is a member of the Taranis team..

DUBAI: The King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) presented its combat drone Saqr 1 at the Dubai Airshow 2017.
The drone is able to fly at an average altitude of 25,000 feet, with a flight time of up to 30 hours, automatic take-off and landing, a parachute in case of emergencies, and day and night cameras.
It can also be equipped with radar, technology for electronic warfare, jamming and eavesdropping, and bombs and rockets with a payload of up to 400 kg.
The director of the drone project, Dr. Khaled Al-Hossan, said Saqr 1 is in line with Vision 2030, which aims to increase local technical content.
“The techniques used in this drone make it one of the top international drones,” he told Arab News.
“It’s characterized by the ability to fly high or low, and to carry laser-guided rockets and bombs.”
The drone is made of carbon and glass fiber, with a light weight and low fuel consumption, Al-Hossan added.
“This drone can complete its tasks independently from take-off to landing, and is controlled from a ground station with high precision and stability in navigation in all aviation conditions,” he said, adding that it has been thoroughly tested.
Work on the drone began in 2000, and four types were produced in different sizes: Saqr 1, 2, 3 and 4, Al-Hossan said.
The production factory is Saudi-owned via the Taqnia Aeronautics Co., which is owned by the Public Investment Fund.
“The factory has a plan from 2019 to 2024 for the design and manufacture of aircraft spare parts. All necessary equipment has been purchased and is now installed,” said Mounir Bakhash, director of the factory.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Ayyash, director of the aircraft transport department at the Taqnia Aeronautics Co., said the Saudi-Ukrainian Antonov AN-132 aircraft is ready for manufacture and sale.
“The structure of the aircraft is designed by a Saudi-Ukrainian partnership,” he told Arab News.
“The aircraft devices are American, British, French and Canadian, but Saudi Arabia plans to manufacture the tires.”
The idea for the plane came out of a partnership between KACST and Ukraine’s Antonov State Co., Ayyash said. “The production line begins in Ukraine and ends in the Kingdom,” he added.
The Antonov AN-132 can be used for various purposes, including electronic warfare, reconnaissance, and transporting personnel and equipment. Before the Dubai Airshow 2017, the aircraft participated in the Paris Air Show 2017.
“Several countries have expressed interest in the plane, such as Turkey, which requested information to negotiate the purchase of nine Antonovs, as well as Malaysia, Peru, Mexico and the UAE,” Ayyash said.
