COMBINED EFFECT MUNITION
Category : Arial Bombs
Manufacturer : GIDS
Detail
Introduction
Area denial of the enemy has always been the requirement of all Air Forces. The Combined Effects Munitions (CEM) combines this area denial effect with anti- armor shape charge effect. This capability allows imprinting multi-dimensional damage to a variety of targets.
Combined Effects Munitions (CEM) consisting of Tactical Munitions Dispenser (TMD) containing Combined Effects Bomblets (CEBs) and Safety and Arming (S&A) device. CEM has multiple target kill capabilities.
Upon impact CEM detonation activates three kill mechanisms:
1. Anti-Personnel
Mild steel bomblet body having a warhead containing 150 steel balls for fragmentation.
2. Anti-Armor
Copper cone based shaped charge for armor penetration.
Operational Features
Upon release from the aircraft, CEM falls away from the launch aircraft to a safe separation distance. Initiation of the nose fuze detonator detonates linear shaped charge that splits the dispenser open along its full length on each side. The Combined Effects Bomblets (CEBs) are dispersed in a stabilized nose down form over the pre-planned coverage area. Ram air causes the vane of S&A to rotate at high rpm (approx.15, 500), which results in arming of CEBs. Upon impact, the detonation wave is transmitted to the booster pellet, which finally explodes the main charge of the CEB.

RPB-1 RUNWAY PENETRATION BOMB
Category : Arial Bombs
Manufacturer : GIDS
Detail
1. Target penetration bomb used to neutralize concrete targets like runways, bunkers etc.
2. The effect of destruction is obtained by high speed penetration and then upheaval of hard targets by exploding the warhead with minimum risk to the delivering aircraft.
3. The bomb can be released at high speeds and low altitude to avoid enemy defenses.
4. Upon delivery, the bomb decelerates to a very low speed to obtain the penetration angle and to increase the safety distance between the bomb and the releasing aircraft. Subsequently the firing of the rocket motor accelerates the bomb to a very high speed for penetration into the hard target.
Release envelope
1. 450 < IAS < 600 Knots
2. Z > 200 feet
���� Consists of four main sub-assemblies:-
3. The Warhead: located at the front and weighs approximately 100 kg
4. The Sequence Assembly: located immediately behind the warhead and controls the sequence of operations
5. The Parachute Section: attaches to the rear skirt of the booster by a jettison able clamp ring and contains two drag chutes (deceleration and main)
6. The Rocket Motor: double base propellant, burns for 0.45 seconds and provides a thrust of 10 tons
7. Can be carried on NATO standard suspension systems
Safety
1. No electrical ignition
2. Drag chutes are not locked during captive flight
3. The rocket motor does not fire if drag chutes are not deployed for sufficient time
4. The warhead fuze pyrotechnical train stays out of line before firing of rocket motor.
Operation
1. Stored in a special sealed container, allowing installation on the aircraft directly from the container without any pre-installation assembly or adjustment.
Retarded phase:
1. Deployment of the first drag chute
2. Ejection of the first drag chute and deployment of the main chute
3. Measurement of the acceleration/time conditions
Acceleration phase:
1. Ejection of the main chute and ignition of the rocket motor
2. Accelerates to 280 m/s in 0.45seconds
3. Impact and explosion after penetration
In case of emergency jettisoning, bomb drops completely inert.

C4I AND AIR DEFENCE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
Category : C4-1 Air Defence Automation System
Manufacturer : GIDS
Detail
The Air Defense Automation System has been indigenously developed by Air Weapons Complex (AERO). The designed system collects information from all Air Defense sensors and radars, processes it, converts it into a standard format and displays it in real time at any desired location. The system architecture is independent of space, time and communication medium. The Command and Control System provides an environment for multiple functions to operate on the same hardware platform and share data via a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN).
The System allows the Commander to a view a fused picture of his complete Area Of Responsibility (AOR). It is a compilation of data from all Air Defense sensors, combined with battle plan, projection overlays, and any other data that is available, including:
current locations and planned movement operations of ground, maritime and air units of friendly, neutral, and enemy forces generated features and projections (e.g. battle plans, operating zones).
Our engineers work closely with the customers to provide them customized, open, flexible and cost-effective solutions to their Air Defense Automation System requirements. AERO provides comprehensive Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) throughout the life cycle of the System.
SALIENT FEATURES
1. Seamless integration with C4I systems.
2. Network centric design allowing self-forming and self-healing network (user can enter or leave the network dynamically).

MULTIPLE RADAR TRACKER
Multi Radar Tracker (MRT) uses state-of-the-art tracking algorithms to detect and track all modern, fast and highly maneuverable targets, hence forming an integral part of C4I and Air Defense Automation System. It works effectively in high clutter environments and displays real time information for any command & control function. It can handle 2000 plots and 1000 tracks. This capability can be further enhanced due to scalable design of the Tracker. It can be integrated simultaneously with homogenous and heterogeneous radars.
The Tracker automatically initiates and reliably tracks maneuvering targets. The tracks initiation and maneuvering detection is enhanced with multiple sensors. The trackers update the display information at a high rate to form a true, accurate and complete Air Situation Display (ASD) for all air-defense and air-traffic control operations.
The main functions of the MRT algorithm include:
1. Inferring the presence of valid targets from a series of plots and tracks received from different radars.
2. Calculating optimally by the sensor the true trajectories of the target in presence of uncertainties imposed by the sensor as well as aircraft dynamics.
3. Recognizing and rejecting false targets.
4. Successfully tracking and predicting the optimal estimates of the target in the presence of clutter and false alarms.
5. Displaying target tracking information.
6. Forming correct association between tracks and observation from radars in different environment.
7. Successfully tracking the target during extreme conditions of fast maneuver, formations, miss detection, cross-overs etc.
8. Fusing information from multiple radars of different ranges, resolutions, scan times and other radars parameters.
9. Analyzing the influence of sensor modeling, radar processor design, and change of other system parameters on algorithm design.
