Indian Navy's Dornier Do 228 MSAs Proving to be Efficient and Reliable

Indian Navy's Dornier Do 228 MSA's​

Maritime surveillance and patrol variants of Do-228 modified by HAL to cater for a host of equipment demanded by the navy including surveillance radar, FLIR (forward looking infrared), ESM (electronic support measures), satellite communications,and data links are proving to be economical,reliable and highly effective in maritime reconnaissance role in Indian ocean .

Equipped with Elta’s EL/M 2022 V3 multimode radar, a retractable Elop CoMPASS electro-optical (EO) pod, ESM suite, tactical data links, Trigun AIS and SATCOM makes aircraft highly sophisticated avionics suites available to India navy .

Dornier’s are equipped with Elta’s EL/M 2022 V3 multimode search radar in a dark underbelly radome just ahead of the main wheels, the same radar is also currently incorporated in Naval Tu-142M, But Dornier’s bring in high availability in operational duties and economic which is turning out to be crucial aircraft for maritime reconnaissance role for Indian Navy without compromising on efficiency of reconnaissance.

Navy last year happy with performance of the aircrafts and its ESM suite has placed orders for 12 more Dornier Do-228 maritime surveillance and patrol aircraft (MSA) with HAL last year .

Anything Indian on that thing(Payload)

Anything Indian on that thing(Payload)

HAL and BEL together with IAI have integrated an Airborne Multi-Mission Optronic Stabilised Payload (AMOSP) on the fuselage in the forward starboard side fairing of the main landing gear. It houses three optical apertures - the larger one is a low light Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera, a second one is an IR camera and the third is for possible fitment of a Laser Range Finder. It is based on a full day and night imagery gathering concept with a down link to the ground station's intelligence system. The AMOSP can view targets of up to a range of 25 miles (40 km).

Apart from that EAGLE Electronic Support Measures (ESM) systems have been fitted on-board the MPA - The system is an indigenous development by the Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL).

Good Initiative but we need to do more
