The standard F3.4 + Rafale will soon be operational in the course of 2015. A flight test campaign was held from October 6 to 17 on the last BA 125 Istres, with personal the Integrated Test Team Istres (EIEV) flight and the team brand gust EHIC.

The intermediate standard includes such " software upgrades "and improving the human-machine interface that either at the entry geographical coordinates NATO standard, better consideration of " delusions "by integrating a" reticle attitude "or the alarm that will not add not exceed the maximum brake energy of the airplane during takeoff. " In the field of tracking field, F3.4 + offers a new real-time control for transitions between radar mode and digital file , "according to Commander Matthew Rigg, team commander brand Rafale antenna EIEV.

The test campaign consisted of twenty flight hours. The final experimental phase will take place on the BA 118 Mont-de-Marsan, the operational service of Rafale F3.4 + standard should take place in early 2015.

Title F3.4 +, this new standard Rafale, being developed by the industry under the responsibility of the Directorate General of Armaments (DGA), is part of the continuous improvement of the weapon system. It takes into account the feedback from the business and the continued strengthening of the flight safety.

Experts and EIEV EHIC form the core of the first users and accompany the deployment of the new system. " For two weeks we conducted a flight test campaign, said Captain Matthew Rigg, commander of the antenna brand team Rafale EIEV. The device will then be deployed in final testing phase in Mont -of-Marsan before operational implementation. "

The F3.4 + version includes many software developments, for example, improving the capture and conversion of geographical coordinates standard NATO (MGRS format) which will be a very significant time savings for crews. In the area of security, a new reticle "attitude" will allow pilots to better understand delusions and warned of an unusual position. In addition, taking off, an alarm will not exceed the maximum acceptable power by the brakes of the aircraft, which is a valuable aid in the management of interruption at takeoff. Finally, " in the field of tracking field, F3.4 + offers a new real-time control for transitions between radar mode and digital file, " added the commander Rigg.

Throughout the assessment, representing a twenty-hour flight, the pilots of the EHIC EIEV and have attempted to define the boundaries of employment areas of the system before writing the instructions for use operational. The new standard F3.4 + Rafale should be deployed in early 2015 forces.

Zoom on the integrated test team in Istres flight

The integrated flight test team, stationed at Istres, is composed of seven state members (pilots, flight engineers and test engineers) of the EHIC (Air Force), the practical testing center and reception Naval Aviation (Navy) and the DGA Flight Test. In close relationship with manufacturers, Airmen EIEV techniques are referents of Staff of the Air Force at the Broad program. In addition to a strong aerospace and operational experience, they followed a one-year internship at the School of personnel for testing and approval (EPNER) of the DGA. They ensure the implementation of new systems and their impacts on human / system interface.

Awaiting for this beast in Indian colors. Would love to see Rafale flying over our skies. The potential it gives to our capability is multifold. Hope our GOI signs the deal quick.

It's the best plane but if the new estimated costs are true then still not a good deal.

The cockpit is dynamic, flexibility and anticipation, the eyes focused far ahead of the aircraft to draw the possible less jagged trajectory in order to preserve energy and pilot.
