Rafale Consortium presents technical details of your aircraft at LAAD Security 2012
In a presentation to the media specialist, the Rafale International consortium led by French companies Dassault Aviation, Thales and Snecma, presented yesterday afternoon (04/11/2012) during LAAD 2012 Security technologies and solutions that are part of the proposal share offered to the Brazilian government in the F-X2 fighter acquisition of new fab.
A video presentation of technical and operational stress allowed some innovative features of the Rafale. Moreover, reaping the technical details is possible to understand their operational capacity, has recently proven in combat in Afghanistan and Libya.
It was emphasized that the French fighter from the beginning is designed for all missions, and also replace all types of aircraft in service with French forces. Being really, since its origin, OMNIROLE a game, unlike a multipurpose game and can play in a single mission all the functions of:
- Air defense and air policing;
- Aerial reconnaissance;
- Air-ground attacks, air-sea;
- Deterrence.
Interface HOTAS
The home-machine interface in the Rafale is based on the concept HOTAS - Hands on Throttle and Stick - along with touch-sensitive screens, plus a great tactical display. Making the Rafale fighter easy to learn, ride and give the pilot total situational awareness.
Spectra and AESA Radar
Spectra shield against electronic threats, is an electronic warfare system totally enclosed in the Rafale, which makes available all external stations for weapons, fuel tanks or bores.
The Rafale's AESA radar delivers superior range for detection and acquisition, with the scanning electron agility and ability to track targets within or outside the aerial search, and soil mapping modes with ultra-high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
The AESA radar for the Rafale is the most advanced for this class of fighters. It also allows the Rafale flight at low altitude over land is not mapped in modes with autopilot engaged in low or no visibility.
With a full load of weapons and fuel the Rafale takes off with two and a half times its empty weight - more than any other game in its class can.
According to the French, now the Rafale combat aircraft is a mature and at the same time, the starting point for an evolution toward a variant exclusive designs by Brazilian industry through technological and industrial cooperation.
The transfer of technology will provide the source code FAB total autonomy to meet future needs.
