It's Complicated I just returned from a remarkable "people to people" cultural tour of Cuba. Our group met people from all walks of life - craftsmen, artists, musicians, dancers, scholars, teachers, students, authors, architects, preservationists, medical professionals, engineers, mechanics, taxi and bus drivers, horsemen, farmers, entrepreneurs, and government personnel. We were invited to get up and dance by incredibly outgoing small children, graced with words of wisdom by grandmothers and grandfathers who have lived through decades of turbulent transitions, and drawn into conversation by welcoming adults eager to discuss our varied viewpoints and their hopes for increased prosperity in the years to come. Like us, we found Cubans to be fiercely proud of their nationality and homeland. But they tend to be more circumspect in answering probing questions. A common reply was, "It's complicated," accompanied by a shrug and a half smile. One of the things that struck me was something we American's have long been proud of. When asked about how they get things done, Cubans say, "We find a way." They apply their solid education, inherent ingenuity, and indomitable spirit to making the best use of what they have. They are masters of improvising and fixing just about everything - from the still ubiquitous horse-drawn wagons and jerry-rigged bicycles to countless 1950s classic sedans, modern-day compacts, mopeds and motorcycles, buses, trucks, and tractors, and just about every other type of electrical, mechanical, and physical device imaginable. Ours has become a society rich in brand-new and perfectly refurbished components, the right tools, and the exact spare parts needed in virtually any situation. Yet, at the core of our nation is still the ingenuity and innovation that made our country great. Reduced budgets? We find a way to collaborate, develop efficient processes, and keep man hours and material costs down. Limited resources? We do what it takes to extend the lifecycles of valuable aircraft, keeping legacy resources fully functional and mission ready. A need for more parts and services? We develop synergies between big and small businesses, and expand our aftermarket to fill in the gaps. A particularly poignant lesson I brought home from Cuba came from a visit to the Bay of Pigs. Nationality, ideology, and intentions aside, one exhibit there struck the same note as a visit to any battlefield museum in the United States. Below photos of handsome and earnest looking young men was a display of hats, shirts, pants, watches, boots, and more that they had been wearing or carrying at the time of their death. These remnants, like similar displays all over the world, remind us that warfighters' lives were cut short. As has happened throughout time, those who loved them were left behind to miss them and mourn them. When it comes to military materiels, the justification behind the efforts of so many applying themselves to the challenges at hand - our planners and decision makers, our engineers and innovators, those working in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair, and everyone serving in the field - is indeed complicated. It is easy to get lost in the rhetoric related to the reasons to invest in state-of-the-art preparedness and strength. The bottom line is that we need to do what we can, on the home front and abroad, to reduce the number of lives lost.

U.S. Picks Northrop Grumman to Build Next Long-Range Bomber Northrop Grumman, maker of the stealth B-2 bomber, beat out a Boeing and Lockheed Martin team to develop and build a nextgeneration long-range strike bomber. The announcement ended months of anticipation and marked the biggest contract award by the Pentagon in over a decade, a deal analysts have said could be valued at up to $80 billion if the U.S. Air Force buys all 100 stealth bombers now planned. U.S. Air Force Assistant Secretary Bill LaPlante told reporters that the service hoped to beat independent estimates, which forecast that it will cost $23.5 billion in fiscal 2016 dollars to develop the new bomber. The aircraft, costing an average of $564 million to build, will be able to deliver both conventional and nuclear weapons. "Building this bomber is a strategic investment in the next 50 years," U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter told reporters. "It demonstrates our commitment to our allies and our determination to potential adversaries, making it crystal clear that the United States will continue to retain the ability to project power throughout the globe long into the future." Northrop Grumman Chief Executive Wes Bush states that his company has "the resources in place to execute this important program, and we're ready to get to work." The bomber is slated to be ready for initial combat use by 2025. The award marks the U.S. Air Force's second drive in recent years to begin replacing its aging B-52 and B-1 bombers. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates canceled the first program in 2010 because he thought it was too ambitious and expensive. Gates relaunched the classified program a year later with a strict cost cap. The new bomber is expected to use some components that were already in use in other projects to help keep the program on track. Rolls-Royce Supplying Engine Improvement Kits to U.S. Air Force Rolls-Royce is supplying the U.S. Air Force with kits to improve the engines of C-130 transports. The T56 Series 3.5 engine upgrade kits, being supplied under a $36 million contract, enable T56 engines to operate at much lower temperatures, resulting in a 22 percent life extension for engine parts, as well as improved reliability. The kits can be added to the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Air National Guard planes during regular overhauls and require no changes to the aircraft or its controls. According to Rolls-Royce, the kits have already been installed on WP-3D aircraft of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and have resulted in more than a 12 percent reduction in fuel costs. "The T56 Series 3.5 technology has proven itself in challenging hurricane flight operations on NOAA aircraft, and we are excited to launch the upgrades into the U.S. Air Force C-130 fleet so they can achieve the same benefits," said Phil Burkholder, President of Rolls-Royce Defense Aerospace North America. "The improved fuel economy and enhanced performance demonstrate the value from the Series 3.5 upgrade - operators will benefit from lower operating costs and improved reliability." 2

U.S. Army Contracts Raytheon for FMS Aircraft Communications Support The U.S. Army awarded Raytheon a 5-year Foreign Military Sales (FMS) systems communications contract with a ceiling value of $80 million. Under this contract, Raytheon will provide support for communication systems as well as training for aircraft sold through the FMS process. The contract covers the production, support, and training for the ACR-164 and ARC-231 radio systems, which are fitted on several rotorcraft platforms, including CH-47 Chinooks, UH-72A Lakotas, UH-60M Blackhawks, and AH-64E Apaches. The ARC-164 communications system allows for anti-jam ultra-high frequency voice communication. The ARC-231 system also has an anti-jam feature preventing interference in communications and is designed for interoperability across tactical environments. The communications systems will be manufactured in Raytheon's facility in Largo, Florida. Scott Whatmough, Vice President of Integrated Communications Systems for Raytheon's Space and Airborne Systems business, notes that his company has been supporting tactical communication systems to warfighters around the world for more than 50 years. "We are committed to building on that proud legacy through our enduring partnership with the U.S. Army and allied forces around the world."

NEWS BRIEFS Airod Wins Contract to Service U.S. Navy Aircraft The Malaysian aerospace firm Airod Sdn Bhd has received a $25 million contract to service U.S. KC-130J aircraft. The 5-year contract was awarded to Airod (Aircraft Inspection, Repair & Overhaul Depot Sdn Bhd) by the U.S. Navy's Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka. According to an official statement, "The agreement represents a significant U.S. government direct investment in the Malaysian aerospace defense industry and demonstrates strengthened U.S.-Malaysia defense trade ties following President (Barack) Obama's April 2014 announcement of a comprehensive partnership between the two nations." Airod will employ twenty-five engineers and technicians to service the thirteen aircraft of the U.S. Marine Corps Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron stationed in Japan. The agreement also includes potential in-service repairs during the life of the contract, such as component/part repairs, corrosion control, rework, drop-in repairs, manufacturing parts, and other similar work for forward deployed U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps C-130s. An authorized Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules Service Center, Airod provided services to the U.S. Air Force under a previous U.S. government contract. French Air Force's Helicopter Completes First Operational In-Flight Refueling The French Air Force has achieved a milestone when a U.S. Marine Corps C-130 Hercules transport refueled an Airbus Helicopter Caracal EC725 that belonged to the 1/67 Pyrenees squadron in Africa. According to French Air Force officials, the long distances across the Sahel desert forms a logistical challenge for the airmobile force supporting troops deployed in combat operations on the ground. In-flight refueling of helicopters overcomes many of these limitations and is expected to open up new possibilities for planning and conducting operations. The EC725 is a long-range tactical transport helicopter designed for troop transport, casualty evacuation, combat search and rescue, maritime surveillance, humanitarian support, medical evacuation, and shipborne missions. The helicopter is equipped with a modern digital cockpit, a four-axis autopilot, and a Fenestron shrouded tail rotor for landings and takeoffs in confined landing sites and loading/unloading on the ground while the rotor is turning. The Barkhane Force's airmobile component operates a total of seventeen helicopters that are based in Gao, N'Djamena, and Madama. The mission, aimed at supporting the deployment of combat forces throughout the Sahel-Saharan strip, has completed more than 5,000 flight hours at the time of this writing.

Australia Receives Final C-17 The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) received into service its eighth and final Boeing C-17 Globemaster III airlifter with the arrival of aircraft A41-212. This is the second of two additional airframes that the Australian government signed for earlier this year, augmenting the six it was already operating. The two aircraft, plus associated equipment and support, were procured at a cost of AU $1 billion (US $713 million). Some AU $303 million of this investment is going toward upgrading the facilities at RAAF Amberley in Queensland, with a dedicated maintenance hangar and increased apron and taxi-way space being built to cater for the C-17 and Airbus KC-30 MultiRole Tanker Transport (MRTT) fleet. The RAAF received its first C-17 in December 2006. Since that time, the transports have seen operational service throughout the world, notably in support of Australian and international forces serving in Iraq and Syria, in recovering bodies from the Malaysian Airlines MH17 airliner that was shot down over eastern Ukraine, and in the Queensland flood relief effort. Australia's C-17 procurements are part of a wider revamp of the RAAF's airlift capabilities.

Japan to Receive New U.S. Military Aircraft by 2020 Beating out its main European competitor Airbus, Boeing has secured the first overseas sale of its new KC-46 Pegasus tanker aircraft. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force, according to media reports, will procure three KC-46s by 2020 at an estimated price of about $172.8 million per plane. According to official statements, one of the reasons why the KC-46 Pegasus was selected over a tanker offered by Airbus (based on that company's A330 commercial jet) is easier interoperability with U.S. aircraft. The KC-46, which can carry up to 212,000 pounds of fuel, also is well suited to refuel Japan's future fleet of Bell-Boeing MV-22 Ospreys. The Pegasus made its first flight on September 25 at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. The plane is an improved variant of the Boeing KC-767 air tanker, four of which are currently in service with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. According to the manufacturer, the KC-46 multirole tanker is compatible with international aerial refueling procedures and designed to "detect, avoid, defeat and survive threats using multiple layers of protection, which will enable it to operate safely in medium-threat environments."

THE CH-47 C

The F Model of Boeing's Legendary Lifter Prepares for its Second Act. BY JAMES WYNBRANDT

he tagline "A Century of Progress" is often associated with the history of aviation, but rarely with a single aircraft, let alone a military platform. But with its upgrade path clear, Boeing's CH-47 Chinook helicopter is now on course to operate into the 2060s, making it what the U.S. Army projects will be its first 100-year old airframe. This robust platform remains in demand for a wide range of roles by military forces around the globe. The current F model is undergoing continuous improvements, even as plans for the next major phase of its development proceed. "There are some things our forefathers in the aviation community just got right, and the Chinook falls

into that category," says Randy Rotte, Boeing's Director, Business Development, Cargo Helicopters, and a former CH-47 pilot. Summing up a common view, Sofia Bledsoe, U.S. Army Public Affairs Officer with the Aviation Program Executive Office, calls the CH-47F "arguably the world's best heavy-lift helicopter, delivering unmatched multi-mission versatility." With its tandem rotor configuration, the iconic Chinook the U.S. Army's only heavy-lift rotary wing asset - is instantly recognizable, and the model's design partly explains its utility and versatility. "You get a big cabin for a relatively small footprint. There's no tail boom," says Rotte. "You can load cargo and

people all the way from front to back." Wherever it operates, Rotte says, "We've determined it is the most in-demand asset in theater." The versatile CH-47 is used for hauling troops and cargo, firefighting, search and rescue, humanitarian disaster relief, and many other missions. High-altitude operations in Afghanistan have further burnished its reputation, as its six rotor blades combined are capable of hoisting payloads up to 20,000 feet.

DEVELOPING THE F MODEL In the mid-1990s, the U.S. Army and Boeing began discussing an upgrade to the predecessor D model, which entered service in 1982. (The CH-47E was a Special Operations variant, and it has been replaced by the CH-47G, the new Special Ops platform.) According to Rotte, "The challenge was to make sure what's inside the aircraft keeps it relevant for all our warfighters," while also reducing maintenance and lifecycle costs. Initial performance requirements were firmed in 1999 and updated in 2004. In addition to upgraded powerplants, the F model features a machined airframe, replacing the previous sheet metal structure, and a digital glass cockpit. The U.S. Army took delivery of the first CH-47F in 2006. The following year, the 7th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, became the first unit equipped with the new Chinooks.

between cargo and transport configurations, was incorporated into the helicopter. The proud heritage of the Chinook notwithstanding, there is no comparison between the F and earlier models. "The CH-47F is a brand-new aircraft, and we don't do comparisons with other Chinook models," Rotte says. "It's completely different." Powered by Honeywell's FADEC (full authority digital engine control) T55-GA-714A turbines, the CH-47F's two engines each develop 4,868 shaft horsepower. They also provide improved fuel efficiency and lift performance over the T55-L-712 engines in the D model. The machined airframe is more robust, has improved corrosion resistance, and is vibration tuned, resulting in less of a tendency to crack, fewer inspections, and reduced crew fatigue and avionics wear. A new anti-corrosion coating expands inspection intervals and further reduces lifecycle costs. WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

COOLS is now incorporated into the production models, and the U.S. Army's entire CH-47F fleet has been retrofitted with the system. TRAINING AND FMS SUPPORT In the training environment, Boeing has improved readiness and reduced lifecycle costs for the Chinook. This is a direct outgrowth of the company's newly organized "service business" model, which aims to partner with customers while "collaborating and leveraging best practices across all of Boeing," says Raymond Haddad, Cargo Helicopter Sustainment, Global Services & Support. Rather than transporting active units to a central training location as has traditionally been done, Boeing provides maintenance and technical support to the units at their home bases for transition training. This has allowed crews, many of whom have gone directly from training into combat, to stay

on home station, saving costs and improving morale. Currently, all active U.S. Army units have completed transition training, and Boeing is supporting the U.S. Army in completing training of its Reserve units. The updated platform also has proven popular with Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. Six

CH-47, Block II is scheduled for introduction in 2020. A major goal of Block II is "to 'buy back' performance that has eroded over time due to the addition of mission equipment packages since system fielding in 2007," says Bledsoe. "New mission equipment developed for the aircraft has added an average of some 100 pounds per year to its empty weight in recent years." The target is to increase the maximum gross weight of the CH-47F from 50,000 to 54,000 pounds, with a payload of 22,000 pounds. Those figures were chosen, in part, to ensure that the aircraft can carry the military's Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, the replacement for the AM General Humvee, which the U.S. Army expects will achieve Operational Capability in 2019. Performance improvements will come from multiple avenues. Honeywell T55-715 engines will deliver 20 percent more power than the current T55-GA-714As. The composite-based advanced Chinook rotor blade (ACRB), evolved from the canceled RAH-66 Comanche, will increase lift and reduce weight as compared to current blades. WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

Engineering changes will boost the efficiency of the rotor hub and drive train. A new fuel system will combine the three fuel cells currently in each sponson into one larger fuel cell. This will increase capacity and eliminate intra-cell fuel transfer hardware, effectively reducing the system's weight by 200 pounds. The DAFCS also will be enhanced along the way with the integration of the active parallel actuator system (APAS), which provides an exact torque split between the rotors for greater efficiency. By design, the improvements will reduce sustainment costs and increase aircrew safety margins. To meet the expected ongoing demand, Chicagobased Boeing recently completed a 7-year, $130 million renovation of its Boeing Rotorcraft Systems production facility in Philadelphia's Ridley Park.

horsepower-class engine, with boosted power capacity from the transmission and drive train. Such powerplants are being developed under the U.S. Army's Future Affordable Turbine Engine (FATE) program. Meanwhile, the armed service plans to begin replacing its rotorcraft fleet in the mid-2030s under its Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program, though that program initially will focus on medium-left helicopters. According to the current schedule, by the time the heavy-lift fleet is replaced with such next generation platforms, the Chinook will have been in operation more than 100 years. And Boeing will have been supporting it for just as long. "That's how we work with the U.S. Army and our other customers," concludes Rotte. "We're not only modernizing, but providing the right support throughout the lifecycle."

RESELLING MILITARY ROTORCRAFT When Military Helicopters are no Longer Required, They can be Sold to Foreign Governments for Further use, or as Civil Aircraft, Although the Process is Not as Simple as You Might Think. BY ANDREW DRWIEGA

ne of the most obvious outcomes that the budget enforced sequestration has had on the U.S. military has been the immediate reduction in materiel across all branches of the Armed Forces. The required reduction as a percentage of budget across every item is an expensive method of cutting each segment. In terms of unit costs, particularly for new equipment and aircraft, this increases prices for the remaining numbers in any acquisition. However, some have reacted to tackle proposed cuts in a proactive way. U.S. Army Aviation is one such

branch that proposed its own Aviation Restructuring Initiative (ARI) in 2014. The reasoning behind this measure, according to Colonel John Lindsey, director of army aviation's operations plans and policy, speaking in December 2014, was to moderate the substantial financial cuts by keeping the newest equipment and thus not "salami slice" the whole force. A result of ARI was that two stalwarts of the U.S. Army fleet - the Bell Helicopter OH-58D Kiowa Warrior and the TH-67 Creek training aircraft - would be cut in their entirety. This represented a total of

12 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2015/16

652 helicopters of both types that would be retired from service between Fiscal Year 2014 and Fiscal Year 2017. This was actually the opportunity the U.S. Army had been waiting for, as the OH-58D had been slated for replacement for many years, although lobbying to retain it had been strong. Bell Helicopter, with its ARH-70 Arapaho, and, earlier, Boeing/Sikorsky, with the RAH-66 Comanche, had tried to fill the reconnaissance role, but both projects ultimately ran over budget and were cancelled.

The end of the Kiowa in U.S. Army service is drawing near. The 10th Mountain Division's 6th Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, a longtime user of the scout chopper, began their goodbye to their OH-58 force by flying a mass launch of all 30 of their aircraft at once.

being taken out of service, U.S. Army spokesperson Sofia Bledsoe, based within the U.S. Army Aviation Program Executive Office, says that there are "approximately 308 flyable aircraft (that) have been declared as Excess Defense Articles (EDA) and are available in support of Security Assistance opportunities." The government subsequently found uses for 119 of the retiring aircraft. The U.S. Department of Justice would be allocated sixty TH-67s, which would be sent to Columbia to support U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) operations there. A further twenty-five were being shared between the U.S. Army's combat training center (twenty) and the U.S. Navy's test pilot school (five). The U.S. Department of Defense has a specified procedure for retiring its old military aircraft and removing them from its inventory. This is bound within the Instruction 4160.21-M (Material Disposition) manual. As Bledsoe explained, "In accordance with the divestment screening process, a worldwide EDA survey was issued through the U.S. Security Assistance Command (USASAC) in first quarter Fiscal Year 2015." As part of this process, countries that have an interest in acquiring the OH-58D helicopters for military use must submit a Letter of Request (LOR). (As the OH-58D are in a category "C" combat configured status, they are considered unsuitable for civil use, either nationally or for foreign customers.) These LORs can be presented either as a request for Pricing and Availability or as a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA). Such requests are then considered by the Non-Standard Rotary Wing Aircraft (NSRWA) group within the U.S. Army's Program Management office, together with the Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Security Assistance Management Division (SAMD). Their findings are reported back to the USASAC, which compiles a total package for each potential customer country. According to Bledsoe, this process resulted in interest from fourteen countries for up to a maximum of 242 helicopters. For instance, Croatia expressed an interest in acquiring sixteen

OH-58Ds. The Croatian government is also trying to secure additional funds to modernize and upgrade the ex-U.S. Army machines to be a viable replacement for their own out-of-service Russian Mi-24/35s. WHAT DO THEY GET? So what do potential customers get when buying an ex-U.S. Army OH-58D? According to the EDA regulations, each helicopter is sold on an "as is" basis that comprises the basic aircraft "less components that are not part of the basic end item (U.S. Army specific military systems)." So helicopters are in a category that shows they have been intensively managed and are Class VII major end items in their own right (other examples include launchers, tanks, mobile machine shops, other vehicles, and so on). The export potential of a specific aircraft is determined on a countryby-country basis. One of the problems in finding potential users for these helicopters is that they are older airframes with single engines and are still filled with analogue rather than more modern digital avionics. This raises the question: Would it be possible for a potential export customer to request equipment and supporting systems/avionics/weapons to be supplied through the Foreign Military Sale (FMS) process? This is less clear, and again comes down to a country-by-country decision process. As Bledsoe explained: "the OH-58D EDA/FMS would be executed under the 'total package approach' which ensures (that) applicable components, spare parts, training and sustainment are provided via an FMS agreement." RESALE VERSES NEW Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as Bell Helicopter, are not necessarily happy with prospective resales of their older helicopters. During the Paris Airshow in June, Bell's CEO John Garrison commented that he wanted the U.S.

government to limit sales of ex-Army Kiowa Warriors to foreign customers. One of the reasons for this is that Bell is currently fielding new versions of its AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter and UH-1Y utility helicopter to the U.S. Marine Corps as part of the UH-1 upgrade program. The two aircraft share common design traits, including a common tail boom, engines, rotor system, drive train, avionics architecture, software, and controls with around 84 percent identical components. Although it appears that Pakistan will take fifteen AH-1Zs through an FMS arrangement, Bell would like to attract even more customers, having invested time and resources in bringing the H-1 aircraft up to a modern configuration. One major point for potential customers to note was Garrison's statement that Bell would not offer to upgrade the OH-58Ds to the standard that was previously proposed to the U.S. Army for the aircraft's upgrade pre-sequestration. This would have brought the rotorcraft to the OH-58F standard, which would have included a nosemounted sensor (rather than the distinctive mast-mounted position in the existing configuration), a new control and display subsystem 5 (CDS5), Integrated Common Missile Warning System (CMWS), dual channel FADEC, and Integrated Level II MUM-O (Manned-UnManned Operations) for teaming with unmanned aerial systems, such as the U.S. Army's MQ-1C Grey Eagle and smaller AAI RQ-7 Shadow. At the same time, Garrison was not completely against the principle, as any sale of OH-58Ds would largely provide their owner with a stopgap capability. An option to upgrade to newer models such as the Bell 407GT, itself an improvement on the ARH-70 Arapaho, would be attractive business to the company, which would still like to recoup time and investment that was put into development.

surplus materiel, from ammunition and vehicles to fast jets and even C-130J Hercules aircraft, and the concern of the Disposal Services Authority (DSA). The breadth of the DSA's work can be witnessed by an examination of its published receipts for Fiscal Year 2014 to Fiscal Year 2015, which totaled ÂŁ29.21 million. Reported activities included the sale of tracked reconnaissance vehicles to Latvia, the sales of ammunition to Estonia and New Zealand, and the recycling of the destroyers HMS Liverpool and Manchester, which were sold for scrap to a Turkish company, as well as the disposal of more recent types of equipment, resulting from the drawdown in Afghanistan.

types have just been decommissioned. The DSA will be responsible for the disposal of the helicopters, although the exact number has not as yet been made public. The Sea King's served with both the U.K.'s Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, operating military and civil search and rescue tasks on the mainland and around Britain's coastline for over 74 years. Their origins can be traced back to high-speed rescue launches, plucking downed fighter pilots in the Battle of Britain and beyond. But this came to an end on Sunday, October 4, 2015, when the last mission was flown from Chivenor air station. The service will now be provided by civilian contractor Bristow. Robin Clegg, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence's (MOD's) Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) explained that the DSA initially considers selling capital assets, such as WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

aircraft and ships, to foreign governments that would intend to continue operating them. The reasoning is that such sales strengthen international relationships and "can also provide U.K. industry with opportunities to undertake some of the regeneration work." If a government-to-government sale does not materialize, however, then the equipment is offered for commercial sale to be used for non-military purposes or ultimately for recycling (scrapping). A number of specialist contractors are usually used for smaller surplus equipment; they are made responsible for the collection, storage, marketing, and selling of stock on the DSA's behalf. Regarding the future of aircraft and helicopters, Clegg explained: "When an aircraft is nearing the end of its service life, the MOD will consider the optimum use which included use for

training purposes, breaking down to support the existing fleet or disposal by sale. In the event that an aircraft is disposed of by sale, the MOD will recover any material not releasable into the civil market. The DSA will also consider the potential for sale to a third party for future military use. Continued supportability would be taken into account during such considerations." Finally, the factors that are taken into account before any sale or disposal include the condition of each aircraft, the number to be disposed of, and, most important, the need to maximize the financial return to the UK taxpayer. Sometimes scrapping is the most lucrative option. AAD

HELICOPTER TECHNOLOGY BY HANK HOGAN

ll helicopters have to land. And that is when challenges can occur. Some are due to the terrain being landed on or the act of landing itself. Fortunately, there is a new technology that promises a solution. Traditionally, lower-end helicopters have had landing skids that sit rigidly below the aircraft body. It is what TV or movie heroes or heroines cling to precariously in those do or die scenes. 16

Skid landing gear is simple, inexpensive, and works well - in many situations. However, it requires that the landing surface not be pitched too steeply and the rate of descent not be too great. Otherwise, the helicopter can topple over, sending the spinning rotor into the ground. So, landing on a steep hillside is out. Similarly, safely landing on a ship pitching back and forth due to wave action also can be a big

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2015/16

no-no. Even coming down hard on a flat, unmoving surface can be problematic. For the military, that means a lot of missions are out of reach for widely available helicopters. "The landing gear for helicopters is essentially the same as it was when the vehicles were first invented," says Mark Costello, a professor who investigates autonomous systems at the Georgia Institute of Technology. WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

AAD17.ps

Costello and a team at Georgia Tech, another name for the Atlantabased school, have come up with a viable solution: replacing the rigid skids with four, articulated "legs." When deployed on the ground, these make a helicopter look like a really big insect, resembling something out of a sci-fi movie. The impression is enhanced when the helicopter is airborne with the legs pulled in close; that configuration cuts down on drag, Costello says. The researchers used a clever approach to create landing gear that can handle uneven surfaces, doing so without resorting to a complicated control scheme. Each of the legs has an electric motor at its hip and knee joints. The bottom of each foot has a force sensor. As the helicopter lands, the sensor picks up on the force of landing, and the motors pull the foot back a bit. When all four legs report having touched down, they lock in place, much like a parking brake on a car. "That very simple method has worked very well in simulation and also in flight tests," Costello says. He adds that there is a failsafe mechanism, something that the researchers spent some time developing. If power to the landing system fails, the legs move and lock in a fixed position. When they do so, they form a four-point array that functions much like skid landing gear. This ensures there will not be a case of a helicopter in the air being unable to land because its legs are flopping around. The increased capability to land WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

TECH COLUMN

on uneven surfaces does come at a cost: the articulated legs weigh more than skids. Calculations on an optimized design for a 3,000-pound MH-6 Little Bird helicopter, used by U.S. Army Special Operations forces, put the penalty at about 7 percent of payload. Hence, there will be some reduction in the helicopter's payload, range, or flight time. On the other hand, there also could be an increase in speed, because when the legs are fully retracted, they offer less drag than skids. Costello does point out that most helicopters with skid gear have a mission profile where speeds are low and there is a lot of hovering. Consequently, drag is not usually much of a concern. The Georgia Tech researchers contacted the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) a few years ago with a proposal about this innovative landing gear. Costello reports that DARPA was enthusiastic about the idea and provided funding. After extensive simulation, the Georgia Tech team built a prototype by modifying an unmanned Rotor Buzz helicopter. Built by UAV Research Lab and originally intended

for agricultural uses, the helicopter weighs about 250 pounds when empty and has a 10.5 foot main rotor. The researchers removed the skid landing gear and attached a set of articulated legs. Then, they conducted flight tests. The altered helicopter performed well, eventually starring in movies put out by DARPA. It did well enough to attract the attention of a major helicopter manufacturer, which is having the design work done to put the new technology to use in a deployed system. Such a system could be in flight testing soon, Costello says. An important point is that the new landing gear is not an all-or-nothing solution. Skids can be removed and legs bolted on as needed. A version also could be applied to helicopters that use something other than skids. Thus, once an effective design is ironed out, the legs could be deployed when and where they make sense. In talking about this, Costello says, "There's a lot of potential with this technology for retrofit." AAD

viability of an aircraft, consider this: ASTM International, which until 2001 was known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. Beginning in 1974, ASTM International formed a dedicated team of over 210 members who established seventy-seven individual standards for F-16-type fasteners alone, including part specifications, testing methods, recommended practices, classifications, and definitions of fasteners and related products. These comprehensive standards were established to ensure that these most basic, but extremely important, aircraft parts do not fail under stress.

ilitary aircraft are comprised of millions of parts, many of them extremely small. But even the smallest parts can have an impact on the survivability of the aircraft and its crew, as well as in the ability of the aircraft to fulfill its design requirements and specific mission. From the initial aircraft design that specifies the types and locations of metals, alloys, and composites, it all comes down to the fact that it is the little things that hold it all together. Did you know that half of the 6 million parts used to fabricate a Boeing 747-800 aircraft come under the heading of "fasteners"? These include rivets and other types of mechanisms that hold pieces of the aircraft to the structural frame. To illustrate how important rivets and fasteners are to the continued

In addition to connecting all the different parts of the aircraft together in primary structures, secondary structures, and within both pressurized and nonpressurized areas, rivets and fasteners also serve a function in smoothly transmitting the forces of gravity, lift, drag, and thrust throughout the aircraft. For example, aircraft fasteners must be able to transfer the load from the engine to the pylon, the pylon to the wing, and the wing to the fuselage. Any area of the aircraft structure that experiences interruptions in the flow of these stress forces is more likely to fail eventually due to repeated buildup of stresses, causing metal fatigue or fracturing - to name just two of the potential problems that can be caused by this type of non-flow condition.

THE SMALL PARTS We often tend to look at military aircraft from the aspect of their design and mission. However, sleek airframes and awesome capabilities still rely upon the integrity of the small parts that keep it all together. For instance, it is remarkable that a miniscule corrosion problem led to the crashes of at least six F-16 aircraft. David Horne is a NACE-trained Corrosion Specialist and F-16 Fuel System Engineer in the F-16 Structures Branch at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. (NACE, founded in 1943 as the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, is a worldwide WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

authority on corrosion.) He discovered that a tin-plated electrical connector pin had been mated with gold-plated socket, resulting in a type of corrosion known as "fretting." This undetectable-to-human eye corrosion set off a chain of events that culminated with the uncommanded closure of the main fuel shutoff valve, resulting in the loss of aircraft. Remedies for this condition included the application of a corrosion inhibiting spray, MIL-L-87177A Grade B. This measure resulted in a 16 per cent improved mission-capable rate. In addition, millions of dollars have been saved

by also treating the aircraft and aircraft ground equipment (AGE) connectors with the same anti-corrosive spray. It is notable that the extensive training David Horne had received from NACE International enabled him to identify the otherwise undetectable fretting-type corrosion, thus preventing the loss of more F-16s and possibly aircrews. DANGER DOES NOT NECESSARILY COME FROM WITHIN But not all small-scale dangers lurk within or as part of the aircraft itself. In fact, it often is the little things

The Yakovlev Yak-130 is a subsonic two-seat advanced jet trainer/light attack aircraft or lead-in fighter trainer, originally developed by Yakovlev and Aermacchi. In the image shown, note the engine screen over the number 2 engine. The Russian aircraft is equipped with shields that close the air intakes for FOD prevention. The system is intended to enable the Irkut-built Yak-130 to operate from unpaved/unprepared runways. An amusing episode occurred during the Yakovlev Yak-130 combat trainer's first flight at the Farnborough Airshow in 2012. "You cannot taxi because the air intakes are closed," Farnborough air traffic controllers told the Yak-130 aircrew. Even after the crew explained that the engine shields were a normal feature of the plane, the tower still questioned whether they were sure they would be able to take off with the closed intakes.

found outside the aircraft but within its environment that have a major impact on its ability to remain fully functional. There is even a special, cumulative name for the result of such dangers lurking in aircraft operational areas: foreign object damage, or FOD. "FOD is the destroyer of planes," stated an anti-FOD campaign slogan at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas. Examples of objects causing FOD are sand, rocks, bolts, tools, pieces of wire, other aircraft parts, insects, birds the list goes on and on. Basically, any foreign body that does not belong in or around the aircraft is considered FOD. Jet engines are especially prone to FOD damage, and the price tag can be very high indeed. One stone ingested by an operational jet engine can easily cost over $3.8 billion in a single incident. Not only do the parts in highly susceptible jet engines cost a lot to repair or replace, this cost is increased by the time lost from service, the

22 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2015/16

number of man hours involved in a repair, and the rest of what is needed to bring the aircraft back to mission ready. At Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, a Code 1 aircraft was taxiing out of the hanger en route to beginning its mission, when "BAM!" The number two engine exploded, sending pieces of metal in all directions. The cause? The ingestion of an aircraft screw into the engine. According to reports on record, this incident and other FOD cost the aviation industry as much as $13 billion per year in direct and indirect costs. Even worse, it has been determined that many cases of FOD damage are preventable and caused by oversight, lack of attention to detail, and poor judgment. One way to lessen the damaging effects of FOD on aircraft engines is to make the turbine blades as strong as possible. The Federal Aviation Administration requires that all WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

engine types pass a test that includes firing a fresh chicken (dead, but not frozen) into a running jet engine from a small cannon. The engine does not have to remain functional after the test, but the result of the impact must not cause significant damage to the rest of the aircraft. The test is meant to ensure that if a bird strike causes an engine to "throw a blade" (break apart in a way where parts fly off at high speed) doing so will not cause loss of the aircraft. Controlling FOD is a multi-billion dollar industry and has many different business aspects. For example, one of the biggest investments is in training personnel, because it is people who can do the most to stop FOD in its tracks," according to a well-known FOD slogan. Products invented to combat FOD include ramp sweepers, rumble strips, FOD catchers, personnel bags, FOD-specific cans, tool organizers and itemizers, specific gear for support services, such as the delivery of fuel, uniform considerations and modifications, and much more.

Perhaps the most famous of FOD accidents, Air France flight 4590 crashed in July 2000. During takeoff, the Concorde ran over a piece of metal on the runway that had dropped off of an aircraft taking off earlier. The piece of metal caused a tire to fail while pieces of the flying tire ruptured the fuel tank, ignited the fuel, resulting in the loss of the aircraft and 113 lives.

THE GRIT Considering the Contribution of Helicopter Engine Intake Filters BY TRACY MARTIN

ilitary helicopters are required to operate in all kinds of environments, including those with excessive sand and dust. The risk of foreign particle ingestion often is caused or at least substantially increased -

by an operational situation known as brownout, in which a helicopter flies through the dust cloud generated by its own rotor wake when landing or taking off. In fact, this problem is so serious that the U.S. Air Force Central Command

24 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2015/16

published the statement: "Helicopter Brownout is a $100 million per year problem, leading to significant hardware loss, injuries, and fatalities." Because the engines may be operating close to their maximum power output during these conditions, as much as 2 pounds of dirt can enter the engine for every cubic meter of air. This can, and does, cause irrevocable engine damage to compressor blades such as blunted or eroded leading edges, sharpened trailing edges, and increased pressure surface roughness. Smaller particles of contamination also can damage turbine blades and combustor walls. This type of damage reduces overall airflow through the engine and results in a loss of power.

increases downtime and maintenance costs. According to Matthew Fortuna, General Manager of Donaldson Aerospace and Defense, "The Middle East's routine high temperatures and intense dust and sand conditions demand highly effective means of protecting helicopter engines from severe failure and performance degradation." Helicopters operating in these dirty environments are protected from engine contamination in two primary ways: using mechanical particle separators or, more commonly, intake barrier filters. CREATING A VORTEX Vortex-type particle separators are designed to keep contaminants from entering turbine engines. These devices remove dirt by inducing a vortex airflow into the incoming engine intake air. Because dust and dirt are heavier than air, these WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

particles are thrown outward and discharged from the aircraft, leaving the center of the airflow pattern relatively clean before it passes into the engine. A good example of this type of filtration system is the PUREair Vortex Tube, made by Pall Aerospace and used in Sikorsky SH-3 and S-61 Sea King helicopters. The advantage of this system is that there is no filter to clean or change, since the system is self-cleaning. In addition, a nonbypass system means that there is no degradation in filtration performance and no risk of in-flight filter blockage; it also provides protection against

pumping losses that reduce engine power. (Power loss is a problem common, to a larger or lesser degree, to filtration in general.) Finally, vortex filtration systems are not entirely maintenance-free. Grass, straw, and other organic matter can become lodged in the vortex tube, reducing the efficiency of the system, and must be removed. THE BARRIER APPROACH Intake barrier filters (IBFs) take a different approach. An IBF separates incoming air from particles by trapping debris in its air-permeable surface. The filter media is made from

enables military rotorcraft to increase operational time in dirty environments. In addition, because particulate laden air does not have to be mechanically removed from the aircraft, no bleed air is required, and the absence of a vortex at the engine inlet maintains smoother airflow into the engine. There are two types of filter media used in barrier filters: oil-wetted and dry. Dry filters significantly decrease maintenance burdens associated with cleaning, drying, and re-oiling conventional oil-wetted barrier filters. Dry filter media is generally preferred for high-tempo operations, while oil-wetted is ideal for aircraft flying in a more normal, less extreme environments. Overall, the dry media is preferred by the military, having been battle tested for years in such missions as U.S. Black Hawk helicopters serving in Iraq. Early IBF filter shapes were flat and difficult to adapt to the rounded contours of a typical helicopter cowling. Because a flat filter element's orientation directly affects its flow capacity, the flat design also resulted in less than optimum airflow. Another problem was that a filter that is oriented to maximize airflow when the aircraft is moving forward does not have the same capacity when the WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

KEEPING OUT THE GRIT

BARRIER FILTER MAINTENANCE While it was thought that IBFs would be a high-maintenance item when they were first introduced, Engineering Director Tom Newman, of Donaldson Aerospace and Defense, related, "Filters can last much longer in a severely erosive environment than people think. In the earlier days of barrier filters, it was anticipated that cleaning would have to occur after a very short period of operation. But we have shown that in the worst of environments, barrier filters can sometimes operate in the vicinity of 200 hours between cleanings." Still, IBFs do require maintenance when a certain amount of dirt and dust accumulates in the filter media. As the filters become clogged with debris, the pressure will drop at the engine's intake. Thus pressure drop monitoring is required to ensure that the benefit of protection to the engine is not outweighed by the loss in engine performance. And, after some number of cleanings, IBFs eventually have to be replaced. IBF filter maintenance is straightforward. In general, filter elements are serviced at practical intervals that can be tailored to individual maintenance cycles, typically 100 to 300 flight hours or as required. Element life is generally "oncondition," not limited to time or cleaning cycles. At each service, filters assemblies are visually inspected for filter media tears, punctures, and uneven or damaged pleats; seals are checked for tears/damage; and frame components are checked for corrosion, cracks, and missing or damaged fasteners. Usually, the filter is first brushed WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

cleaned, using a soft bristle brush similar to a paintbrush, to remove as much dirt as possible. Some IBFs then have to be cleaned with a special solution; most have to be cleaned with an approved spray cleaner. Next, the filter is rinsed in the opposite direction of airflow (clean side to dirty side), using low-pressure water, until all of the debris and oil is removed. After air drying, dry filters can be reinstalled. Oil-wetted filters have to be soaked with a specified filter oil that is a unique blend of mineral and organic oil base stocks with added polymers. When the right amount of oil is applied, the lubricant forms an efficient "tack barrier" to trap dirt and dust. THE RUNDOWN With substantial concentrations of dust during desert landings and other grit-laden conditions, maintainers face a substantial challenge in keeping helicopter engines and systems up and running. While not all particulates can be prevented from entering the aircraft, properly applied and maintained filtration can make a big difference in keeping it mission-ready. AAD

flight direction of the helicopter is sideways. These issues have been largely solved, as IBFs shapes now match the contours of the helicopter they are designed for. Where flat filters are used, they often are installed in multiple locations near the engine's intake ducting-some pointing forward and others facing to the sides.

he potential military usefulness of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability has long been obvious to engineers and pilots alike. U.S. military planners first made use of the unique advantages of VTOL when they deployed the Sikorsky R4 helicopter for search and rescue operations during World War II. Shortly after the end of the war, they began the first in a long series

of research and development initiatives designed to combine the vertical takeoff and landing capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of fixed-wing aircraft. The quest for a crossover aircraft initially resulted in a series of exotic-looking prototypes whose development failed to progress beyond the experimental stage.

Rockwell's prototype XFV-12 is shown at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, in 1978. The innovative XFV-12 was designed to use a thrust augmentation system to achieve the vertical takeoff and landing portion of its role as a hybrid supersonic attack aircraft for the U.S. Navy. However, lab results for the thrust augmentation system could not be duplicated in the finished aircraft.

flight conversion from rotary-wing to fixed-wing mode - and back upon landing. The 1970s successor to the long-running XV-3 program was the Bell XV-15. This model provided vital data and test flight experience that helped solve the problems of control and performance, which had long WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

The hybrid concept reached its ultimate expression in 2007, when the U.S. Marine Corps made its first combat deployment of the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey the linear descendent of the XV-3 and XV-15. The versatile V-22 Osprey is also used by the U.S. Air Force for long-range special operations transport missions.

When the U.S. Navy sought proposals for a supersonic V/STOL attack aircraft in the early 1970s, engineers at Rockwell International came up with an approach that would ultimately become one of the era's most fascinating experiments in aircraft design: the XFV-12. To achieve vertical takeoff and landing, the designers of the XFV-12 envisioned an innovative thrust augmentation scheme that would redirect the aircraft's exhaust to hypermixing nozzles in its wings and canards. By doing so, they hoped to achieve a thrust-to-weight ratio of less than 1. A prototype XFV-12 was completed in 1977. The vehicle's Pratt & Whitney F401PW-400 turbofan engine was fitted with an afterburner that enabled it to achieve a thrust of 30,000 foot pounds, which proved suitable for achieving the supersonic speed specified for the aircraft during conventional flight. In laboratory tests of the augmentation concept, the thrust had also appeared sufficient for providing the XFV-12 with its vertical takeoff capability. In practice, however, the expected boost faded as it passed through the system of ducts that fed the exhaust to the wings and canards, ultimately increasing the thrust-to-weight ratio to 1.5. As a result, the XFV-12 ended up as a hybrid that was missing a crucial piece of its envisioned dual-use capabilities. The U.S. Navy abandoned further development of the project in 1981. Had it worked as expected, the XFV-12 would have been the first aircraft to achieve vertical lift through the use of thrust augmentation. Its legacy as an ambitious but ultimately flawed concept vehicle marks it as an emblematic reminder of its era.

THE JUMP JET Pursuing a parallel but separate course during the post-World War II period, British aircraft research in the 1960s produced the Hawker Siddeley Harrier - the nowlegendary "Harrier Jump Jet" of popular depiction. The first-generation Harrier addressed the VTOL issues of stability and control via a vectored thrust turbofan engine. Its blend of conventional fighter capabilities and vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) made it appealing to the U.S. Marine Corps, which first employed the AV-8A Harrier in the 1970s. For its subsequent incarnation as the AV-8B Harrier II, the initial

design was thoroughly overhauled by McDonnell Douglas in the 1980s. The U.S. Marine Corps first deployed the AV-8B in 1985, and more than 300 of the successful hybrid were produced, including a Plus version that involved the remanufacture of existing aircraft to add upgraded capabilities. Production of this model ended in 2003. Nevertheless, the AV-8B will continue to represent its generation of VTOL innovation for much of the next decade - that is, until its gradual replacement by the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II V/STOL variant is completed in 2025.

GPS JAMMING THREAT New Equipment and Techniques Keep Warfighters on Target. BY JOHN LIKAKIS

ince its inception back in 1978, the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation has provided reliable navigation signals. Steady improvements to both the satellites and the end-users' GPS receivers, coupled with some additional ground-based infrastructure, has led to the current incarnation of civilian GPS.

The civilian system provides navigational accuracy to within 15 feet of a given point and can provide accuracy to within inches when combined with some groundbased augmentation systems. The military uses a second set of signals from the GPS satellites that allows for even greater accuracy, based on the raw signals, and can achieve accuracy to within a few

It allows your average smartphone to let you navigate from home to Aunt Gertie's house; it allows Tightseat Airlines to fly direct between airports; it allows non-precision instrument approaches to be developed for small rural airports that otherwise would not have such capabilities; WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

GPS JAMMING

Raytheon has developed an electronically steered GPS antenna with an integrated inertial navigation unit for use on munitions, such as the PAVEWAY II guided bomb, shown here in tests against a small boat in the Gulf of Mexico.

Without accurate position information, routine flying becomes difficult, and some combat missions become impossible. Bringing together combat aircraft and aerial refuelers at a specific time and a specific point in space is one instance where precision navigation is vital.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become an indispensable part of both warfighting and day-to-day life. The U.S. military relies on GPS to guide everything from legacy aircraft, such as the F-16, to newest helicopters and ships such as the U.S.S. Independence littoral combat ship.

and, of course, it allows the military, as one U.S. Air Force wag told us, to "put warheads on foreheads" in combat. Indeed, GPS is so completely integrated into all aspects of the battlespace that commanders use GPS coordinates to designate targets, inbound fighters or bombers use GPS to navigate to the target, and many of the munitions the aircraft drop - such as the Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM ) - use GPS

for guidance to the target. This all works great - provided that the GPS signal is present and accurate. Unfortunately, GPS is not only easy to use, it is also pretty easy to jam or mislead. In fact, GPS jammers are so simple to make that anyone with a background in electronics can build a jammer using readily available off-the-shelf components. For those not so electronically inclined, GPS jammers

(called "personal privacy devices," or PPDs) can be purchased through any number of on-line retailers, despite such sales being illegal in the United States. Even the cheapest of these jammers can disrupt GPS navigation over a surprisingly wide area. In 2012, a truck driver was apprehended using a PPD and jamming GPS signals at Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey. Federal aviation officials have made

JAMMING AND SPOOFING

There are two ways to render GPS navigation useless: jamming and spoofing. Jamming consists of broadcasting noise at the same frequencies that the GPS satellites use to send positioning signals. The noise drowns out the satellites. Spoofing involves producing signals that mimic those sent by the GPS satellites. The fake GPS signals "fool" the GPS receiver so that it produces inaccurate position information. Done correctly, spoofing can be much harder to overcome than jamming, because a sophisticated GPS spoofing system will produce small GPS errors that can be difficult to detect. For example, it can mislead an aircraft so that it flies to a point half a mile from its intended waypoint - an error that can mean the difference between an unpropelled munition like a JDAM making it to its intended target or impacting 400 yards short. To counter spoofing, avionics manufacturers are incorporating "selective availability anti-spoofing modules" (SAASMs) in their GPS units. These modules use a variety of software techniques to overcome spoofing. Companies such as Rockwell Collins and Raytheon continually update their SAASMs to keep them current with evolving threats.

One method being used to combat GPS jamming is to use an electronically "steerable" multi-element antenna to receive GPS satellite signals. The circular Harris N-79 antenna, and its square companion, the N-100, both use this technology to focus on a GPS satellite while blocking the signals of GPS jammers.

TARGET THE JAMMER

Jamming GPS is easy: Just set up a transmitter that pumps out noise (or false signals) on the same frequencies that the GPS satellites use. The signals from the satellites are comparatively weak, so any GPS receiver in the area hears nothing but noise and thus cannot produce any kind of navigation information. But the jamming signal is also a key to countering jamming. Using the same principal behind anti-radar missiles, U.S. Air Force researchers have developed small units that home in on GPS jammers. Dubbed HOGJ (for Home On GPS Jam), the units are finishing preliminary tests mounted on JDAM and SDB bombs. Tactically, weapons equipped with HOG-J would only have to be released within striking range of a GPS jammer. The HOG-J bomb would then fly itself to the signal source and destroy the jammer.

modifications to the ground-based GPS augmentation system at Newark to minimize such jamming effects. Nonetheless, GPS interference continues to be a problem. With GPS jamming technology both ubiquitous and cheap, warfighters are confronted with the problem of their primary navigation system possibly being rendered useless by enemy forces. But combining other technologies has

produced multiple ways to ensure the warheads continue to fall on the right foreheads. DEAD RECKONING Jammed GPS signals represent a critical threat for many munitions systems. The JDAM and the Small Diameter Bomb (SBD) both have modes that use GPS for terminal guidance. A jammed or spoofed GPS signal can turn a JDAM back into an unguided iron bomb or send it to the wrong target. One of the oldest and simplest navigation methods is dead reckoning. Starting at Point A, you travel X amount of time in Y

direction at Z speed. Simple calculations then tell you exactly where you are. At least one solution to GPS jamming is to incorporate what amounts to miniature deadreckoning navigation units in the munition. These units consist of a combination of inertial measurement units (IMUs), solidstate gyros, and extremely accurate timers. Timed Inertial Measurement Units (TIMUs) take the last known

accurate position from the aircraft's navigation system and "track" the bomb's position based on simple dead-reckoning navigation. While not as accurate as full-capability GPS guidance, TIMU-assisted guidance can still deliver a bomb on target in an environment where GPS signals are badly degraded or completely unavailable. FOCUSED LISTENING The weakness of the navigation signals coming from the GPS satellites makes jamming or spoofing easy.

Even big bombs such as the MOAB, or Massive Ordnance Air Blast (also known as the Mother Of All Bombs) need guidance to hit the intended target. The MOAB relies on a combination of GPS and inertial guidance.

power on the ground can always overcome whatever signal strength the satellites can muster. However, it is possible to design GPS receiver antennas that do not "hear" the jamming or spoofing signals. In the simplest terms, jam-resistant GPS antennas focus most or all of their "listening" directly at a GPS satellite. These jam-resistant antennas use electronic steering to "point" their most sensitive elements toward the satellite, while using the "null" portions of the antenna to block out the unwanted jamming signal. As Harris Corporation's Pete Martin explains, Harris's jam-resistant GPS antennas work by "creating 'steerable holes' in the antenna's coverage. "There's a fixed amount of coverage area over which an antenna can receive signal," says Martin. "The approach taken with our anti-jam WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

antennas is to combine antenna elements, altering their coverage in order to change the area over which the antenna receives signal." He continues, "Imagine a balloon as the coverage area. Combining antenna elements is like pinching the balloon in multiple places, thus changing its shape and coverage profile. The result is 'nulls' in the coverage area (the pinch points), and the antenna does not receive signal at these pinch points." Harris offers several antennas for jam-resistant GPS reception. The N79, as one example, has seven antenna elements; this means that the unit can create six reception nulls that it can "point" at jamming sources to effectively block their signal. The N79-3 antenna is designed to work with all of the newest GPS receivers, as well as existing GAS-1 receivers.

Harris is looking into development of smaller units for munitions applications. The company is also involved in the development of eLORAN to supplement GPS for navigation (see the sidebar on page 36). RAYTHEON'S SUITE Raytheon Corporation has similar jam-resistant antennas, which the company calls the "Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA)." But Raytheon takes a more holistic approach in dealing with GPS jamming, working with all aspects of GPS-enabled navigation in a highnoise/jamming environment. For example, Raytheon has a number of GPS receivers that have been designed explicitly to deal with jamming. The company's Digital Antijam Receiver (DAR) is designed for use in all military aircraft, from

THE RETURN OF LORAN?

Back in the 1980s, LORAN went from being primarily a maritime navigation system to becoming a recognized system that aircraft could use. Avionics firms competed to produce userfriendly LORAN units, and the U.S. Coast Guard worked with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to develop inland LORAN stations to fill in coverage gaps. Then, GPS technology began making appearances for civilian use. Fastforward to 2005 and LORAN had fallen into such disuse that the Coast Guard was actually directed to begin dismantling existing LORAN stations. But the ease of GPS jamming has led to the development of a new kind of LORAN to supplement GPS or even take over should GPS be rendered completely useless. Called eLORAN, the new system adds a data channel to the signal. When combined with various refinements to signal mapping, the deployment of differentialLORAN reference stations, and improved software for signal processing, eLORAN can generate positions accurate to within 30 feet or so. There are a series of eLORAN experimental stations currently operating in Europe. In the United States, an eLORAN test station went on the air on June 19, 2015. Located at the former U.S. Coast Guard LORAN facility in Wildwood, New Jersey, the new eLORAN station was developed by Harris and UrsaNav, working in conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and other federal agencies.

fighters to bombers to transports. The DAR contains a "selective availability anti-spoofing module" to help keep the aircraft on track in the face of false position signals, and it uses digital signal analysis to counter jamming. In an effort to help control lifecycle costs, Raytheon created "an upgrade roadmap" for the DAR so that it can keep up with GPS modernization updates, including M-code and the joint precision approach and landing system (JPALS) currently under development. The problem of GPS-guided munitions has not escaped Raytheon's attention. The company's Anti-jam GPS Receiver (AGR) is in use on the Tactical Tomahawk cruise missile. The AGR uses both the L1 (civilian) and L2

(military) GPS frequencies. According to Raytheon, "when configured with a multi-element CRPA, the AGR's post-correlation nulling techniques allow continued satellite track in the presence of high levels of hostile jamming." For smaller munitions, Raytheon is working on the Advanced GPS Inertial Navigation Technology (AGINT). Still in the development stage, the latest prototype AGINT unit has proved able "to provide 120dB of jamming protection against multiple broadband and narrowband jammers, and can provide beamsteering to four separate GPS satellites," according to the company's Web site. Similarly, Raytheon's GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (GAINS) is providing terminal guidance for a variety of munitions, including the WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

Enhanced PAVEWAY-II laser/GPSguided bomb, the PAVEWAY IV (Enhanced PAVEWAY II variant), and the Standard Missile-3 ballistic missile defense program. The GAINS system is also being incorporated into the Miniature Air-Launched Decoy. As the name implies, GAINS uses both GPS and miniaturized inertial units to maintain weapon accuracy in the face of GPS jamming or spoofing. The Raytheon Advanced Protection Technology Receiver (dubbed "RAPTOR-III") is designed as a common weapon GPS receiver. The RAPTOR-III has twenty-four channels of simultaneous L1 and L2 satellite tracking, GPS/INS coupling, an anti-spoofing system, and ultrafast satellite acquisition, along with other features. As a munitionmounted unit, the RAPTOR-III promises excellent accuracy under most conditions.

ROCKWELL COLLINS WEIGHS IN Other defense electronics manufacturers are also keeping up with the GPS jamming threat. Rockwell Collins has its own line of jam-resistant avionics and receivers. For example, there's the Rockwell Collins Digital Integrated GPS Antijam Receiver. Designated as "DIGAR," the units boast advanced beam forming and high-performance signal processing. Coupled with the company's direct-replacement jamresistant GPS antenna, the DIGAR offers highly accurate navigation performance in hostile electronic environments. For munitions applications, Rockwell Collins's Integrated GPS Anti-jam System features a receiver small enough to mount on a JDAM, yet powerful enough to have twentyfour-channel dual frequency (L1/L2) capability, along with the ability to use the signals from every GPS

satellite within its field of view. With a tightly coupled inertial unit, the Integrated GPS Anti-jam System makes it possible to precisely position munitions, despite intensive jamming and spoofing. It is also worth noting that Rockwell Collins produces the NavStorm anti-jam GPS system for GPS-guided missiles and artillery shells. OUT OF A JAM While GPS is relatively easy to jam, technologic advances are working to render jamming ineffective. Advances in hardware, software, and systems integration have all made it possible to keep warfighters on course and on target, no matter how hard the enemy is jamming. AAD

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2015/16

THE FLYING CRANE Hughes Aircraft began its first helicopter project when the company purchased designs and a partially built prototype for the XH-17 "Flying Crane" from Kellett Aircraft. The Kellett design was undertaken to fulfill a U.S. military request for a large helicopter capable of lifting up to 10,000 pounds and carrying it as far as 100 miles at speeds up to 64 miles per hour. The Flying Crane was a conventionally shaped helicopter. Its 53-footlong fuselage had an open-tube frame that stood on four "landing gears" so tall that eighteen-step ladders were attached for crew access. Cargo containers were to be mounted under the fuselage. On top, the helicopter had a colossal two-bladed rotor measuring 130 feet wide; each blade weighed 5,000 pounds and was a foot thick and nearly 6 feet wide. The propulsion system was innovative. Two outsized General Electric J35 turbojet engines, bolted on the sides of the aircraft, forced compressed air to the blade tips. The heated air was mixed with fuel, and the ignited mixture generated thrust. It also shot flames from the tips of the rotors. The helicopter's single test pilot, Gale Moore, managed to wrestle the ungainly craft through 10 hours of flight - the predicted life of the overstressed blades. Fuel consumption was ferocious and unsolvable. The project was dropped.

AN INTERRUPTED VACATION On beach vacations, bad weather, biting flies, and riptides can all spoil the fun. In 1956, vacationers on the Mediterranean beaches of Port Said in Egypt were confronted by bombs exploding on the beach, followed by a 45-minute naval barrage. Anyone who remained in the area was then surrounded by the first helicopter-borne assault landing in history. The attack was carried out by British and French troops attempting to enforce their rejection of Egypt's nationalization of the Suez Canal. The helicopter mission consisted of Royal Marine commandos from the British carriers Theseus and Ocean. Westland Whirlwind Mark 2s and a variety of smaller helicopters - twenty-two aircraft in all - transported 415 marines and 23 tons of stores. The same craft then brought reinforcements and supplies and carried casualties back to the ships for treatment. Innovative during the Suez Crisis, the mission and its effectiveness prompted the United States and other countries to begin testing and training for similar helicopter assaults.

LITTLE OSPREY There's potentially good news for aviation parts and maintenance service suppliers. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is developing a new tilt-rotor aircraft: a mini-Osprey with a 20-foot wingspan. The GL-10 "Greased Lightning" is envisioned as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for rapid delivery of limited payloads using vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) from unprepared surfaces, while providing the speed of conventional airplanes. Experiments under way using a 50 percent scale model have achieved largely reliable performance. Eight engines and rotors are arranged on the forward airplane-like main wing. The entire wing rotates from a vertical to a horizontal position to provide suitable lift for both takeoff and level flight. Two more powered rotors are affixed to the rear horizontal stabilizer, which also rotates. The full-scale model will have diesel-electric propulsion. The V-22 Osprey, the best-known tilt-rotor aircraft, is a capable performer. But its engineering complexity, maze-like hydraulics and control wiring, and super-braced fuselage make its initial cost and maintenance relatively expensive. Further testing will reveal whether the GL-10 will face similar challenges.

ROTORCRAFT BABY STEPS Military helicopter use was in its infancy throughout World War II. When Igor Sikorsky demonstrated the flight characteristics of the company's R-4 in 1943, including a precise auto-rotating landing, military planners were impressed. Their discussions identified uses for helicopters that included convoy duty, coastal and harbor patrol, observation and photography, liaison and communications, wire laying for communications, rescue missions and ambulance duties, laying smoke screens, fire control, and transport of personnel and light cargo between otherwise inaccessible locations. Despite helicopters' potential, for the remainder of the war, their use was limited. The R-4 became the first mass-produced rotorcraft, with 131 being manufactured by 1944. But, aside from scattered rescue missions, its most significant contribution took place in the South Pacific. In May 1944, six ships were dispatched to the contested area to become aviation repair units for U.S. combat aircraft. Each ship carried two R-4s to ferry repair inventory and maintenance crew between the dispersed ships. When free from that duty, the R-4s were used for rescue and medical evacuation missions.

STACKED AND PUSHED When the Sikorsky X-2 set a new speed record of 250 knots (290 mph) in September 2010, some reacted as if it were a stunt, based on novel technology and possibly going nowhere. The X-2 flew using two stacked, counter-rotating rigid rotors, with speed boosted by a forward-facing pusher propeller at the end of the rear boom. The counter-rotating rotors eliminate the dissymmetry of lift produced by a single rotor. They also eliminate the need for a counter-torque prop at the rear, allowing the addition of the pusher. The basic technology of the X-2 was first demonstrated in 1973. Sikorsky's S-69 (XH-59) Advancing Blade Concept craft first flew in that year, using the stacked blades and pusher concept. But even with further development, it produced too much noise and vibration to be practical. Decades later, active vibration suppression and refined rotor design have been used to solve these problems. Not only is Sikorsky implementing the technology in its S-97 Raider, which first flew in May of 2015, but it is also the basis for the company's SB-1 Defiant. The Defiant, under development with Boeing, is Sikorsky's successful candidate in the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) technology competition to provide new helicopters to replace as many as 4,000 existing helicopters across the U.S. military services. The other successful JMR candidate is the Bell V-280 Valor, which uses tilt-rotor propulsion. Extensive performance testing and evaluations are expected for both candidates through 2017.

TECHNICOLOR TARGETING By 1970, most U.S. households had color television sets, sometimes more than one. But the AH64E Apache attack helicopter is still fitted with black-andwhite visual displays and obsolescent laser range finders. That is about to change. The U.S. Army has awarded Lockheed Martin a contract to upgrade the Apache's targeting and piloting systems. One phase, already under way, will provide Modernized Laser Rangefinder Designator (M-LRFD) kits to improve the ability to identify and lock on targets. Additional work will replace the current inadequate video displays with high-resolution color displays capable of combining near infrared with natural color for visual recognition of targets and ground situations. An army official told Reuters that the new systems could help prevent incidents such as the 2007 attack in which two Apaches killed twelve people in Baghdad, including two Reuters news reporters. U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Steven Van Riper, the army's product manager for the Apache sensors, says of the Apache crew: "Now they can focus on [decision making] and not worry, 'Am I looking at the right thing?'" Sources: Lockheed Martin, www.lockheedmartin.com; Andrea Shalal-Esa, "Lockheed tech lets U.S. Apache helicopter pilots aim in color," February 19, 2014; www.reuters.com; Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org.
