Indian Firm Develops Ejection System For Su-30MKI-Launched Brahmos Missile
http://www.defenseworld.net/news/18...u_30MKI_Launched_Brahmos_Missile#.WKfPVtJ950w
Tucked away in a corner of the stall displays is one of the most interesting products at Aero India 2017- a pneumatic ejection system for the Brahmos missile air version whose maiden test launch from an Indian Air Force (IAF) Sukhoi-30MKI jet is planned this year.
The nearly three feet long device is to be fitted inside the launcher developed by BrahMos Aerospace Thiruvananthapuram Limited (BATL), a subsidiary of BrahMos Aerospace. “Its job is to eject the missile on a command from the pilot”, explained an executive of Nucon Aerospace, a medium size Hyderabad-based firm specializing in aviation and missile sub-systems and parts which has developed the ejection system.
The pneumatic ejections system’s most important component is a canister holding air at a pressure of 30 bars, he explained adding that the system had been tested and certified by the Center for military airworthiness and certification (CEMILAC), based in Bangalore.
He said Brahmos Aerospace had ordered some 60 odd numbers of the ejection system indicating that the air-launched Brahmos program was in the full-steam-ahead mode. He however declined to give his name stating that he was not authorized to talk to the media.
However, an executive of Brahmos Aerospace admitted that Nucon Aerospace was building the pneumatic missile ejection system but could not confirm the numbers ordered. Pointing out to the launcher that was displayed at the Brahmos stand, he explained where the ejection system would be fitted and also added that the aircraft would have two different types of missile ejection systems- one main and another for back-up in case the first one fails.
