ost conversations and news these days seem to revolve around technology and its impact on our lives. We talk about social media, mobile and cloud computing, data security, and the data supply chain, expect instantaneous communication and information, and take for granted such marvels as computer-aided design and manufacturing, real-time diagnostics, smart machines, and hybrid technologies.

In this vein, this issue spotlights technological advances of selected military aircraft systems. To start, John Likakis takes a historical look at the evolution of aerial weapons release, from manually dropping hand grenades and releasing hooks that let bombs fall away to sophisticated pneumatic ejector units providing controlled release of today's smart armaments.

Hank Hogan's technical briefing considers the setup, operation, and advantages of unmanned helicopters and their contribution to conserving fleet resources. James Wynbrandt discusses how legacy F-16s, converted into drones, serve as combat-configured aerial targets for lethality testing of weapons systems and air-to-air strike practice.

Our international correspondent, Thomas Withington, examines innovations in rotorcraft radios and the challenges of providing secure voice and data communications among aircraft crews and ground personnel. Finally, Donna Kelly reveals the way computer-based virtual training has transformed the process of preparing future maintainers to support ever-more sophisticated aircraft, without removing valuable equipment from active service.

In fact, most discussions of military aviation and the aftermarket focus on the application of technology to the challenges faced by our armed forces. In this age of widespread technology, it remains important to remind ourselves that the central element of any such equation - from building a company to succeeding on a global scale, from idea generation and invention to creation, from prototyping, manufacturing, and product application to supply chain management, maintenance, sustainment, and the making most of the resources at hand - are the people involved.

Therefore, in this first issue of 2015, we at Aviation Aftermarket Defense take our hats off to everyone involved in this industry: corporate leaders, strategic planners, and managers; scientists, engineers, and designers; system managers, computer programmers, data analysts, and keyboarders; documentation creators and hands-on instructors; prototypers, product testers, compliance experts, and quality controllers; customer service and field representatives; support desk and office personnel; manufacturers and parts producers; suppliers, distributors, supply chain managers, and inventory control teams; packagers, shippers, and transporters; machinists, mechanics, electricians, technicians, and craftsmen and women of all kinds; maintainers, repairers, overhaulers, and equipment support staff and service providers at every level; and everyone else who makes sure things get done so that essential missions can be accomplished.

In particular, we wish to thank all who serve and have served in the military, from the invaluable personnel supporting every aspect of our armed forces from the ground up to the warfighters who put their lives on the line. Thank you all for all you do.

DROP EVERYTHING AS BOMBS EVOLVE, SO DO BOMB RACKS

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15

n 1912, the airplane still was more of a novelty than a weapons system, but many enterprising minds saw its possibilities. Just before World War I erupted in Europe, the Bulgarians faced off against the Turks in what became known as the First Balkan War. Bulgarian Captain Simeon Petrov took the idea of dropping explosives on the enemy and developed the first objects that we might recognize as aerial bombs: streamlined, explosive-filled objects with fuses that detonated on impact.

During the opening stages of World War I, dropping explosives on the enemy consisted of the pilot WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

flying low over the enemy trenches, while his observer (whose primary task was reconnaissance) tossed hand grenades over the side.

Learning of Petrov's design, Germany purchased his plans and soon put the bombs into mass production in a variety of weights.

The first, small versions, weighing just a few pounds, still were heaved over the cockpit coaming by the observer. When it comes to explosions, bigger is better - and in fairly short order, bombs grew large enough that a single man could not muscle one out of the cockpit.

Soon, specialized aircraft and WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

equipment were fielded to drop bombs weighing up to 660 pounds.

These bigger weapons were suspended under the wings of the new bombers on specially designed racks that could hold the weapon during flight and release it on command. These first racks used cable-actuated releases.

FREE FALLING For those earliest bomb racks, getting the job done was a matter of simply releasing the weapon and

Lockheed P-3 Orion uses the BRU-14/A, manufactured by the Marvin Group, to carry and drop weapons weighing up to 2,200 pounds; the Navy's Sikorsky SH-60 LAMPS MK III Seahawk helicopter also uses the BRU-14/A. The BRU14/A (the letters stand for Bomb Release Unit) uses a linear electromechanical actuator (or LEMA) to operate the hooks that hold the weapon in place on the rack - when the hooks are released, the weapon just falls away.

The majority of combat aircraft use the tried-and-true pyrotechnic-powered bomb ejectors. Most current combat aircraft use ejector racks with one or two pyrotechnic cartridges.

BRU-15/A is used on the wings of the P-3 to carry Harpoon missiles.

It also lets the missile just fall away to a safe distance from the aircraft before its rocket motor fires to propel it to the target. (This contrasts with the rail system used by most externally carried aircraftlaunched missiles: Lugs on the missile ride in grooves on a rail.

When the missile motor fires, it propels the missile along the rail, enabling the missile to gain some speed before it comes completely free of the aircraft, stabilizing its initial flight.)

WHEN GRAVITY LETS YOU DOWN For relatively slow aircraft like the 8

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15

Orion or various helicopter models, gravity is enough to overcome aerodynamic forces acting on the weapon. As aircraft speed and maneuverability increase, however, so do the demands on bomb racks.

With the advent of jets, it became clear that simply releasing the weapon would not work. The high speeds of many modern aircraft create aerodynamic forces that can cause even a monster like the 2,000-pound Mk-84 bomb to "fly" back up into the aircraft after release. The problem becomes even more acute as the weapon becomes lighter and/or has more surfaces. For example, the 500pound laser-guided Paveway has

fins on the nose and tail, and it has been known to fly back up into an aircraft after release, causing severe damage.

The solution to the fly-back problem is to forcibly propel the ordnance away from the aircraft.

This led to the development of modern ejector bomb-release units.

Most bomb-release units in service today are of the ejectortype, and the majority of those units use pyrotechnic canisters to both unlatch the weapon-retention hooks and simultaneously force a pair of pistons (some use only one piston) down against the weapon.

The pistons propel the weapon away from the aircraft with enough WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

out. For example, an F/A-18 can be equipped with a pair of BRU-32 or BRU-32B/A ejector racks and carry a pair of weapons weighing as much as 4,400 pounds each. Or that same aircraft can be equipped with a pair of BRU-33A/A units mounted onto the BRU-32 parent racks and carry up to four 1,000-pound bombs (two on each rack).

SMART STRIKES Smart weapons have all but replaced the old "dumb" iron bombs.

Modern warfighters demand as much accuracy as possible so that targets are hit on the first pass with no need to restrike; this helps keep collateral damage and casualties to a minimum. But smart weapons need at least some information in order to perform, and that information has to come from the AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15

aircraft carrying the weapon.

The design standards for carrying smart weapons are laid out in the United Stated Department of Defense MilStd1760. As the Department notes in the preamble of the standard: Prior to this standard, an aircraft and the stores which it carried were typically developed independently of each other or were developed exclusively for each other. This usually resulted in unique aircraft/ store electrical interconnection requirements, the general proliferation of overall store interface designs, low levels of interoperability, and costly aircraft modifications to achieve required store utilization flexibility. Trends in store technology toward 10

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15

more complex store functions which require increasing amounts of avionics data and control information from aircraft systems were predicted to lead to insurmountable aircraft/store interfacing problems. The goal is to develop aircraft that are compatible with a wide variety of stores and stores that are compatible with a wide variety of aircraft. This standard supports this goal by defining a standard electrical (and fiber optic) interconnection system for aircraft and stores.

The majority of aircraft pylons and BRUs flying today are MilStd-1760 compliant. This means the pylon/ BRU combination has a "1760 cable" interface that carries data

from the aircraft's targeting system to the smart weapon. As a result, units such as the BRU-55/A (F/A-18) and the BRU-57/A (F-16) can carry a pair of 1,000-pound smart weapons. (The Joint Standoff Weapon, or JSOW, and the Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, are the two most common stores for these BRUs.) BYE-BYE PYROS As simple and reliable as modern BRUs are, the pyrotechnic charges used to actuate these devices can be problematic. They require all the special handling of any explosive device, which contributes to operating expenses.

And you have to store them along with other explosives, which means taking up precious magazine space onboard a ship or in explosives storage at a base.

This also means that your supply WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

LOOKING AHEAD Clearly, the future for bomb racks is pneumatic. But that future might be a bit slow in coming for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, there is the problem of compressed-gas sourcing. A physically large unit such as the BRU-61/A can actually contain a compressor (and there are two companies currently making small high-pressure compressors for exactly this application: Marotta Controls and Ultra Electronics); however, smaller units pose problems. The Exelis solution of using a compressedgas cartridge solves the space

problem but adds recharging time to the re-arming cycle. Other solutions are in the works, including plumbing the aircraft so that an on-board central compressed-gas source can supply each wing station.

Another problem is making these units compatible with older aircraft. Many combat aircraft can only supply limited current to a weapons station. For example, some models of the F-16 can only supply 10 amps, and that is not enough to power a compressor.

Upgrading the power generation of such aircraft may not make financial sense; adding plumbing and valving to use engine-bleed air as a pneumatic source is likewise far too expensive.

Nevertheless, BRU designers are looking ahead to the day when pyrotechnics are bygone. Exelis is working on its SPECTER pneumatic unit that will be a direct replacement for the MAU-46

and uses a compressed-gas cartridge. Dubbed the SelfContained Ejector Pneumatic Power Supply (SCEPPS), the gas cartridge keeps down the complexity and weight of the unit, which tips the scales at a dainty 19.4 pounds.

To see how this is possible, consider the Fire Scout, a manned-to-unmanned helicopter conversion from aerospace and defense technology giant

Northrop Grumman, headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia. A vertical takeoff and landing tactical UAV system designed for use aboard U.S. Navy ships, the Fire Scout comes in two versions. The first version, the MQ-8B, was based on the Schweizer Aircraft helicopter, a WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

The space and weight savings allow for the installation of an additional 400-plusgallon fuel tank, which substantially ups the aircraft's flight time.

autonomous aircraft on a ship presents particular challenges: there is not much space, and the touchdown site may be pitching and rolling. While human pilots learn how to adjust for these conditions, the unmanned aircraft has the advantage of a highly sophisticated control system. "It senses inputs thousands of times a second and can make an update faster than a pilot can," Twomey explains.

In its various versions, the Fire Scout has logged thousands of hours of flight time and has landed repeatedly on simulated and actual ships. Data from these tests shows that this unmanned helicopter consistently touches down within 18 inches of the designated spot.

manned ones. In a 12-hour mission, for example, a manned helicopter would have to return to a ship three times, so at least two aircraft would be needed, along with the accompanying crew. In comparison, one unmanned MQ-8C can complete the same mission.

That force multiplier shows up in another area. U.S. Navy ships often carry two helicopters but only fly one at a time in order to protect against a sudden and unexpected landing tying up the only spot to set down. With an unmanned aircraft, the need for this safety factor is eliminated, as the UAV can remain in the air longer and is more expendable than a manned vehicle.

This means that both the UAV and a manned helicopter may be deployed at once.

The Fire Scout MQ-8C is currently undergoing flight testing,

which should wrap up in 2015.

Based on the demonstrated success of a prototype and the performance of the Fire Scout MQ-8B, Northrop Grumman has a contract with the U.S. Navy for nineteen of the 8C models. There also has been substantial interest in the Fire Scout from outside the United States based on what the unmanned vehicle offers.

As Twomey points out, "They can get more surveillance at a cheaper price and not have to train pilots at a million and a half a pop to do this. They can train somebody in a month to fly this helicopter."

Thus, the unmanned air vehicle conserves resources both in the air and on the ground. That's a formula that could cause unmanned helicopter use to take off.

n the past, training maintenance personnel to perform the myriad tasks necessary to keep a sophisticated jet airborne involved removing valuable aircraft from active service. Not only did this reduce operational readiness of aircraft, it also increased the potential for unexpected performance issues due to errors made by inexperienced maintainers. To compound these problems, our forces are serving

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15

with increasingly aged fleets with a corresponding increase in aircraft on the ground due to maintenance, overhaul, and repair issues. Therefore, it is more crucial than ever that maintenance training, however essential, not tie up mission-capable aircraft.

The good news is that the training devices used for aircraft maintenance personnel in the twenty-first century have caught up with the current capabilities of

video gaming and simulation, allowing for more comprehensive training scenarios and enhancing learning. Advanced companies have created computer-based trainers - involving whole aircraft, selected systems, and/or virtual representations of either - that realistically teach future maintainers how to do their jobs.

VIRTUAL RENDERING The DiSTI Corporation of Orlando, Florida, has been a leader in virtual rendering, creating complex training programs that replicate aircraft systems. In the majority of cases, DiSTI builds its virtual trainers to meet the specifications of a government contract. For example, the company created the F-18C virtual maintenance trainer (VMT) according to the U.S. Navy's requirements.

The F-18C VMT can be used to perform over 500 maintenance procedures in a virtual environment, allowing maintenance trainees to learn just about every task they need to know. This includes maintenance of the electrical, hydraulic, powerplant, WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

and fuel systems. All flightline inspections, including preflight, postflight, and "thru-flight" inspections can be taught, including the launch sequence and aircraft marshaling.

Let's say you are an electrical specialist. As an instructor, the VMT gives you a full wiring diagram from which you can choose a specific wire, anywhere in the aircraft, to be "virtually" broken or shorted. The student is instructed to start diagnosing and troubleshooting the problem. This is done by tracing wiring on a full 3-D aircraft presented on a computer screen, all the while referring to the appropriate technical manuals.

The investigation is done in real time, as if the student was walking around an actual aircraft. In most cases, he or she will have to open up access panels. If a particular access panel has sixty screws or fasteners that have to be removed, a novice will be tasked with locating and unfastening every one, using his or her "equipment" (tools from a virtual WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

toolbox). The instructor can allow more experienced students (who already know where the panel is and how to open it) to skip this step; they can just click on the panel, and it will open.

Once the access panel is open, the student sees the various components, cabling, and hosing inside, just as it would look in an actual aircraft. The next step is finding the specific cable that needs to be removed.

Once the cable is located, the student is typically presented with a 2-D overlay of the face of that cable and can select the male or female side of the connector; clicking on the chosen end causes it to unscrew.

A multimeter is selected from the virtual toolbox, the probe on the receiving side of the meter and the leads are connected, and the leads are dragged and dropped, connecting to the virtual pins.

Turning on the multimeter with a click, the student can adjust it to check for voltage, resistance, or continuity. (The multimeter is exactly

like the real one that would be used, because DiSTI has made virtual replicas of the many types in use by the various services.) After checking the readings, he or she works through the problem, following the same steps as on a live flightline.

DEVELOPING THE MODEL DiSTI has photographed every aircraft and system represented in the VMT, using technical manuals to supply the maintenance data for each aircraft. Because the F-18C is an earlier-made trainer, it uses paper-based technical orders, while newer models, such as the F-35, use electronic maintenance manuals.

The state-of-the-art F-35 features an onboard computer system known as the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), and it is the heart and brains of the fifth generation aircraft. (When connected, ALIS works the same, whether dealing with a virtual maintenance trainer or an actual F-35.)

less troubleshooting steps; instead, more time is spent on learning specific procedures to fix diagnosed problems.

There are three ways to get the data for developing the virtual environment. In the case of the later F-18E models, DiSTI worked with Boeing, which provided the CAD (computer-aided design) data. Since the 3-D CAD functional data is primarily about how to build the aircraft, DiSTI had to repurpose the data it received for its purposes. Additionally, the CAD reference points and graphics come to the virtual training program renderers in limited, basic colors; this data is integrated with photographs to create a full-color virtual environment.

The second method of obtaining the data for the virtual trainer is to use 3-D scanning technology. This involves scanning every part of the aircraft and using that data to produce the 3-D virtual environment.

The third way, the old "tried and true method" is hand modeling. Beginning with a bunch of photographs and a ruler, the creators of the virtual trainer go through and build the virtual environment piece by piece.

Scott Ariotti, Director of Global Marketing for DiSTI states, "At the end of the day, when you compare the time it takes to do each of the methods, it is hard to tell which was the original source used to produce the final environment.

When you get the geometry from CAD data, there is a lot of cleanup from the other side. While hand modeling is more labor-intensive, you are building it to run in a realtime environment straight up."

INCREASED INTERACTIVITY MEANS INCREASED LEARNING A division of Boeing located in St. Louis, Missouri, uses DiSTI virtual environments to create its VMTs. 20

These devices reach a pinnacle of realism, utilizing the aircraft Operational Processing Facilities and Mission Computers for responses and indications identical to those of the actual aircraft.

Utilizing avatars as part of the simulation and training experience as well as support for joint training scenarios is a current capability.

Boeing's robust VMT devices provide "free play" capabilities versus solely scripted scenarios.

This enables the instructor to manipulate the virtual aircraft as needed and not have to follow a script line by line. Students also can free play and work on modules out of sequence.

Boeing's VMT is built on a foundation of actual mission systems software and engineering models. Like the DiSTI trainers, Boeing's devices support all maintenance tasks, major systems, and subsystems, as well as hundreds of diagnostic tasks and procedures across the complete spectrum of maintenance training.

The VMT systems can be tailored according to customer requirements and specific training needs.

Each aircraft system module (avionics, flight controls, hydraulics, fuel, powerplants, environmental control, landing gear, and armaments) includes a selection of simulated faults and

tasks for the instructor to choose from. Faults are identified by level of complexity, ranging from "initial" faults addressed in basic training to uncommon "career" faults that are complex in nature to diagnose and repair. Tasks range from general servicing and addressing routine failure items to in-depth troubleshooting of the less common faults - all based on fleet experiences.

The maintainer will use the same F/A-18 technical manuals in both the training and squadron environment to perform operational testing and fault isolation on the selected aircraft system. Additionally, all of the required aircraft support equipment needed to complete the assigned task is simulated.

INTELLIGENT TUTORING AND CONTENT MANAGEMENT Boeing's Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) streamlines the authoring and deployment process using standardized cognitive task analysis, Web-based technologies, and intuitive tools for subject matter experts and instructors. To enhance learning, the ITS maintains a dynamic record of each student's performance to enable remediation and adapt simulation experience based on performance.

processes and tools enable configuration management and traceability to the authoritative data.

Content management in this context is the ability to store, organize, configure/manage, and control the available information, as well as to recover, display, and publish vast amounts of digital training content with direct lineage to platform design systems. The company manages the assets, software logic, and instructional content, as well as the overall training system.

SCALABILITY AND MOBILITY Depending upon the requirements determined through the task and media analysis, the Boeing VMT has been demonstrated to be usable on platforms as small as mobile phones; it also can be used on tablets and larger devices. Systems consisting of large touch-screen monitors, which often include integrated aircrew station hardware for specific types of training that require increased space and power, are less mobile and more suited for a situated classroom.

The VMT may be self-contained on a device or delivered over the Internet. It may be configured for one student or multiple students on WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

the same device or on multiple devices. Additionally, the instructor can remotely configure, monitor, administer, and control the student's VMT. Boeing's trainers come in many shapes and sizes. The largest would be full-up aircraft, such as the Apache L7: an entire Apache L7 is installed with specialized aircraft wiring to insert faults. The configuration may include a special air-conditioning unit and instructor station.

Component trainers may be designed to teach maintenance of a specific section of an aircraft or subsystems, such as landing gears.

Customers can choose to have a full section of the aircraft or just the landing gear mounted on a metal frame.

Fully virtual training systems take the actual components out of the loop. These systems may include multiple touch screens, an instructor station, and a support equipment cabinet. Some systems may be downsized for a desktop environment, though the support equipment cabinet still may be needed to host operational flight programs or other mission-unique

emulations.

Power requirements vary depending on the device. Full VMTs generally have a 60-amp 110-volt plug that runs everything; the same requirements as when the applications are run on a desktop computer. Power needs for trainers with real aircraft hardware depend on the type of hardware, which, again, can run the full gamut.

A LEAP FORWARD In summation, virtual maintenance trainers represent a leap forward in the training of military aviation maintainers. The interactivity of these systems allows for deeper learning because, unlike the old methods, they can be reviewed and revised as much as needed to ensure the future maintainer masters the task at hand. And if in the process of this instruction, an inexperienced maintainer makes a mistake on a training system, that mistake will not keep an actual aircraft on the ground.

t may seem like waste to shoot a perfectly operable fighter jet out of the sky for target practice. But it's the law.

In accordance with Title 10, Section 2366 of the U.S. Code, a missile system must undergo lethality testing against a combatconfigured Full Scale Aerial Target (FSAT) before the production

program is approved. For air-to-air or surface-to-air missiles, that target must have the flight characteristics, radar and infrared signatures, and performance envelope - including supersonic flight at altitudes up to and above 50,000 feet - of a fighter jet. Given those requirements, for this type of testing, there is no substitute

for the real thing.

"When it gets out there with combat troops, we don't want to put anyone in harm's way with a weapons system that doesn't work," says Paul Cejas, Chief Engineer on the Boeing program that is bringing this testing capability into the twenty-first century. As part of the program, Boeing is currently developing what the U.S. Air Force is calling "the next generation" FSAT: The QF-16 Viper.

CREATING THE QF-16 Since the early 1990s, the QF-4 Phantom has fulfilled the Title 10 testing mission. (The "Q" in the name is the U.S. Air Force designator for FSATs, more commonly called drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs.) But with the inventory of salvageable F-4s dwindling and the gap between its performance and that of modern platforms widening, the Air Force began WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

QF-16 DRONE

evaluating replacement options late in the last decade.

In 2010, the service awarded the Boeing Corporation of Chicago a $69.7 million contract to convert six mothballed F-16s into FSATs. This is Phase 1 of a program to convert up to 126 of the aircraft under the QF-16 Air Superiority Target program. Ultimately, the drones will serve in the U.S. Air Force's Weapon System Evaluation Programs as targets, in accordance with Title 10 requirements. Secondarily, the FSATs will give pilots valuable air-to-air shoot-and-kill experience before they enter combat.

The air-to-air evaluation program, known as Combat Archer, is conducted by the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group (WEG) at Florida's Tyndall Air Force Base and New Mexico's Holloman Air Force Base and is directed from Eglin Air Force Base, also in Florida. The WEG's five squadrons include the 81st Range Control Squadron, the 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron (ATS), and the WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

83rd Fighter Weapons Squadron at Tyndall Air Force Base, and Detachment 1 of the 82nd ATS at Holloman Air Force Base. The WEG's units provide all U.S. Air Force support for FSAT operations in Florida's Gulf Range and the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

Boeing set the challenging goal of proceeding from contract, through design and hardware buildup, to first flight of the Viper drones in just 2 years. Under Boeing's risk reduction strategy, engineers incorporated both reverse engineering and rapid prototyping processes in moving toward their objective. An "X-ray Backscatter Non Line of Sight Reverse Engineering System" was employed to design required "Q" conversion modifications.

Meanwhile, rapid prototyping sped development of the smokegeneration system (which adds verisimilitude to pilot combat training), the scoring system (which tallies "lethality" during training and

weapons testing), and the termination system (for destroying the drone in the event of malfunction). Laser scan data was used to generate 3-D models that enabled engineers to determine the optimum space for placement of the required components and the more than 3,000 wires added to connect them.

Engineers also had to learn how to tap into the electrical systems and displays without affecting the F-16's performance. One of the greatest challenges, Cejas says, was developing the flight software that enables the aircraft to land safely.

Boeing exceeded its target timeline by only 2 months, with the first prototype QF-16 Viper taking off, with a pilot onboard, in May 2012 from Boeing's facility at Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida. Joint testing with the U.S. Air Force at Tyndall Air Force Base began the following January. The testing continued from Cecil Field and Tyndall Air Force Base, with the QF-16 making its first pilotless flight in September 2013.

On that flight, the Viper performed a series of maneuvers and reached supersonic speeds before returning to Tyndall Air Force Base and landing. Similar tests followed from Holloman Air Force Base over the White Sands Missile Range. The full transformation of the aircraft from a stock Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon to the QF-16 Viper was completed a year later in September 2014 in the Gulf Range over the Gulf of Mexico.

"We flew a full operational mission and had the first air-to-air missile shot," Cejas recounts. "We had a direct hit and blew up that first airplane - a successful kill."

The mission marked the conclusion of the Viper's operational and range qualification testing. That same month, the U.S. Air Force approved commencement of lowrate production of the QF-16.

controls, the F-16's fly-by-wire system is digital. This enables the use of plug-and-play hardware and simplifies the conversion.

Proprietary avionics that support remote piloting, datalink, and other systems are installed. Each airframe is allotted a specific number of allowable flying hours, ranging from 20 to 300, based on its condition.

Given their fate, nothing is done to improve the cosmetics of the faded, sun-bleached aircraft.

However, the tail, wingtips, and horizontal stabilizers are painted a bright orange, the distinctive livery of all Q models.

At the time of this writing in late 2014, regenerated F-16s for the first two production lots have been received from or are in the works at AMARG. Thirteen QF-16s are scheduled to be completed in 2015 and twenty-three are to be completed in 2016, with this portion of the contract representing $62 million.

Conversions have been taking 4 to 5 months, and Boeing is aiming to reduce that time by an additional month.

OPERATING THE QF-16 Most people think of FSATs as

unmanned aircraft. But the majority of missions are flown with a pilot onboard to take command in the event of a malfunction.

Even with a pilot onboard, the aircraft are usually controlled remotely, at Tyndall Air Force Base by the Gulf Range Drone Control System and at Holloman Air Force Base by the WITS (White sands Integrated Target control System).

The aircraft can be flown "manually" by the ground controller, using a joystick and keyboard, but most flights conducted to evaluate tactics and electronic warfare and countermeasure operations are steered by computer for greater precision and repeatability of maneuvers. The programmed flight track typically includes an automatic landing.

It is only when the aircraft goes NULLO that a human never again flies aboard the aircraft. The acronym for "not under live local operator," and Latin for "zero" (signifying the number of crew members onboard), NULLO is the drone equivalent of being placed on death row. For the QF-16, conversion to NULLO status is a simple modification.

in the air and take a lot of pride [in the refurbishments]," Cejas states.

Yet he acknowledges that the vets often have mixed feelings about the program: "They hate to see their airplanes get shot up, but also see it as a final tribute. These airplanes have pretty much finished their useful lives."

For instance, Boeing test pilot and former U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot Jason Clements helped prepare the first test QF-16 for its final flight.

Clements aptly refers to the experience as "a little bitter sweet."

DESTROYED FOR THE GREATER GOOD Whether due to malfunction or at the conclusion of a flawless mission, all FSATs share the same fate. These drones are destined to be destroyed in this crucial test process so that tomorrow's U.S. and Allied warfighters can live.

Many of the contractors working on the program are former military personnel who flew or maintained F16s in their service careers. "They've enjoyed getting these old birds back

GOING OUT IN STYLE F-16 aficionados can take comfort in knowing the program also will help extend the service life of later models of the Fighting Falcon.

Having thoroughly explored the aircraft's avionics and electrical systems, Boeing has developed concepts for upgrading the avionics system in the current fleet; the company is talking to the U.S. Air Force about options for an avionics modification program.

"The [U.S.] Air Force is looking at

potential software and hardware upgrades that can make [the F-16] a more capable, safer product down the road," Cejas says. He cites an enhanced capability of dealing with loss of communication among the potential improvements. "I think there's a lot of [upgrade] potential for a lot of jets," the engineer predicts.

In addition to the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy also will use the QF-16 to evaluate their own weapons systems. Meanwhile, Boeing hopes a follow-on contract will boost total production up to 210 QF-16s over the next 10 to 15 years.

As for his own role in the F-16 transformation and its possible offshoots, Cejas comments, "This is the epitome of my career, this is why I became an engineer" He adds, perhaps all too appropriately, "To be able to take this airplane and figure it out and make it work, it's been just a blast."

ROTARY RADIOS CREW MEMBERS ABOARD MILITARY HELICOPTERS WORK CLOSELY WITH OTHER AIRCRAFT CREWS AND WITH PERSONNEL ON THE GROUND. AND THE RADIOS THEY USE MUST HAVE SPECIFIC, STATE-OF-THE-ART DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS

ilitary radios are employed both for voice communications and for transmitting and receiving data.

While a wide range of programs and waveforms are utilized in these communications, military radios for rotorcraft have a number of distinct design characteristics.

Innovation in this realm is primarily being driven by the need to increase the volume of voice and data communications available to crew members. It also is

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15

expanding the use of relatively new mediums, such as satellite communications (SATCOM), and newer forms of Communications Security (COMSEC).

Like most radio systems currently in use, both military and civilian aircraft radios are now "software defined." That is, the radio automatically performs many key functions, such as frequency tuning, previously requiring manual adjustments by a radio operator.

Military software-defined radios employ various programs designed to optimize the hardware to perform certain functions. For instance, the software may optimize the radio's transmission power, how it transmits its communications traffic and, important for a military radio, select the COMSEC

cryptosecurity (signal encryption) that the radio will employ to prevent the aircraft's transmissions from being intercepted by unauthorized parties.

In addition, different radios are set up to receive various waveforms available for air-to-air and air-to-ground communications. Today, state-ofthe-art military helicopter radios are available from a host of suppliers in Europe, Israel, and the United States.

EUROPEAN EFFORTS European offerings include those of Rohde and Schwarz of Germany.

This company offers the M3AR family of very high frequency (VHF) airborne radios, operating at 30 to 174 megahertz, as well as ultra high frequency (UHF) models, operating at 225 to 400 megahertz. Such radios utilize the HAVE QUICK-I/II and SATURN waveforms.

The HAVE QUICK-I/II waveform employs slow-frequency hopping: the radio changes its frequency in a pseudo-random sequence several hundred times a second.

The SATURN randomly changes its frequency several thousand times a second. A decoding key is required to effectively listen to transmissions, but neither waveform is inherently encrypted and generally is used with an encryption device to increase security. HAVE QUICK-I/II is used extensively by the U.S. armed forces, particularly for air-toground communications as well as short-range air-to-air communications. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) makes extensive use of the SATURN waveform for both air-to-air and air-to-ground communications.

While the M3AR family of radios can host U.S. and NATO-

Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has developed the Global Link airborne radio specifically to handle data communications. It is capable of handling data rates of up to 2 megabits per second.

ROTARY RADIOS standard waveforms, these radio systems also can be programmed with national equivalents, such as Germany's SECOS frequencyhopping waveform. SECOS can be used for data communications, transmitting at rates of up to 16 kilobits per second for this purpose.

The Rohde and Schwarz MR6000R and MR6000L radios are intended for fixed-wing aircraft, and the MR6000A is designed to equip military helicopters. The latter model is used on board the Airbus Helicopters EC-665UHT Tiger attack helicopters operated by the Heeresfliegertruppe (German Army Aviation).

Another company developing such equipment is French defense electronics specialists Thales, which makes its NextWave radio for military helicopter users. Like the M3AR family, NextWave supports HAVE QUICK-I/II and SATURN, company-developed waveforms such as GeoMUX, and other waveforms that may be used by nonNATO forces.

According to Christophe Dress, Communications, Navigation, and Identification Marketing Director at Thales, GeoMUX "can simultaneously transmit voice and data traffic, and has a Blue Force Tracking capability." (Blue Force Tracking refers to the cartographic presentation of the positions of friendly troops on the helicopter's map.)

Dress describes the company's LX-16 waveform: "This can carry 250 kilobits per second of data, although this can be increased to 750."

Operating in UHF, LX-16 can transmit voice communications, typed messages, and also "track data," namely, depictions of friendly and hostile aircraft on radar.

NextWave outfits NH Industries's NH-90TTH/NFH medium-lift utility and maritime support helicopters used by Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Spain, among others.

At the heart of its efforts is the CONTACT program, an overarching modernization of the radio systems used by France across its ArmĂŠe de Terre (French Army), ArmĂŠe de l'Air (French Air Force), and Marine Nationale (French Navy) for communications. The CONTACT program commenced in 2011 with Thales as the prime contractor; as part of this contract, the firm is developing a new airborne radio.

depicted in the images.

According to Ron R., Director of Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the Global Link radio is able to handle data rates as fast as 2 megabytes per second. (Rafael has a policy of not revealing the full name of employees for security reasons.) The ability to carry such high data rates dramatically increases the volume of data available to helicopter pilots.

Ron stresses, "This is not a voice radio, although it could perform some voice over Internet protocol communications." This would be done in a similar fashion to the civilian Skype Internet telephone service. At the time of this writing, Rafael was completing the installation of Global Link on the Colombian Army's Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

U.S. INNOVATIONS The armed forces of the United States are in the process of performing an ongoing modernization of their military radios, including those used by their helicopters. As part of this effort, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon have joined forces to develop the AN/ZRC-2 Small 28

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | WINTER 2014/15

The AN/ZRC-2 is designed to provide SATCOM, along with conventional UHF. Other usable waveforms include the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), a narrowband SATCOM waveform that is being introduced across the U.S. military. The use of SATCOM waveforms provides military personnel on the ground and in the air with the ability to perform long-range, over-the-horizon

{

AN/ZRC-2 include the Boeing AH-64D/E Apache Longbow/ Guardian attack helicopter and the Boeing CH-47D/F Chinook heavylift rotorcraft.

Another U.S.-based supplier of radios for military helicopters is Rockwell Collins. Its offerings include the AN/ARC-210 and AN/ARC-220. Both of these radios carry National Security Agency (NSA) Type-1 cryptography.

Waveforms carried by the AN/ARC-210 include the SRW. According to Mike Jones, Rockwell Collins's Vice President and General Manager for Communication and Navigation, the MUOS waveform also is being integrated into the radio.

Export versions of the AN/ARC-210 are available without Type-1 cryptography in the form of the RT-8100 and 629-F23 radio families. Each radio in these series differs in regard to the level of sophistication.

Other waveforms to be carried by the AN/ZRC-2 include the Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) used to move large quantities of data around the battlefield, and the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) used by troops on the ground for non-wideband communications.

AIRBORNE CAVALRY? Take a circular metal frame the size of a 55-gallon drum cover, bolt a fourcylinder, water-cooled 43-horsepower Mercury outboard motor on top, and add a waist-height post to hold on to.

Underneath, mount two belt-driven, counter-rotating 15-foot rotor blades; under that, rig buoyant bags to serve as landing gear. Then, send a combat soldier, with no normal pilot training, up above a battlefield to reconnoiter at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. This was the plan behind the de Lackner HZ-1 Aerocycle, supported and studied by the U.S. Army in 1954.

The designers believed that the nature of the platform would allow it to be guided simply by tilting the soldier's body in the proper direction; minimal training (as little as 20 minutes) was supposedly needed to safely take to the air. The craft was designed to lift the pilot and up to 120 pounds of cargo; auxiliary fuel tanks could extend the range to 50 miles. There was even a scheme to carry slung loads beneath the landing gear. Some enthusiasts had dreams of a technological airborne cavalry.

Further testing dashed those dreams. The craft could not be reliably piloted by minimally trained infantry. And problems developed with the underslung blades kicking up debris and even inter-meshing and shattering.

The project was abandoned.

Fire Scout In January 2006, the newly developed Fire Scout RQ-8A helicopter successfully put down on the amphibious transport ship Nashville off the coast of Maryland.

The Fire Scout, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), landed autonomously, without any pilot control, while the ship maneuvered as fast as 17 mph. This was the first such landing, and it opened a new chapter in situation awareness for the U.S. Navy, particularly for spotting and tracking small boats.

The RQ-8A was succeeded by the MQ-8B. Originally championed by the U.S. Army as an agile weapons carrier, the MQ-8B was adopted by the U.S. Navy for ship-based reconnaissance and other duties. It has ably served in antipiracy operations for the U.S. Africa Command and in diverse roles in Afghanistan and Libya. (You also may recall the rare case in 2010 when a Fire Scout became unresponsive to controls and wandered into restricted airspace over Washington, D.C.) The MQ-8B soon will be joined in service by the MQ-8C - designed for greater endurance and larger payloads. The two UAVs share autonomous control systems, software, avionics, and ship ancillary equipment as well as some sensor and weapons modules. A notable difference lies in endurance.

The 8B can achieve 5.5 hours with a 300-pound payload; the faster 8C can stay in the air for an impressive 12 hours with the same payload, promises three times that lifting capacity, and has a higher operating ceiling.

Early Eyes in the Sky

& HOSE FITTINGS HOSE &HOSE HOSE FITTINGS

In some cities, TV news helicopters have become nuisances, even interfering with investigations. Back in 1931, in more innocent times, the Detroit News created a sensation by buying and operating a Pitcairn PCA-2 autogyro - a suitable choice for news gathering because it could stay airborne at low speeds, could take off and land in small spaces, and could come close to hovering for short periods.

That same year, the U.S. Navy evaluated the PCA-2, but the design was never adopted for military use. It did achieve a military milestone: it landed on the deck of the USS Langley, becoming the first rotorcraft ever to land on a ship at sea. A derivative of the PCA-2, the PA-18, which boasted a strengthened structure, more power, and better handling, provided convoy escorts for the Australian Fleet Air Arm in 1940.

An autogyro consists of a conventional propeller-driven fuselage with a free-wheeling rotor mounted above. The propeller provides forward motion, and movement through the air turns the rotor, providing additional lift.

Despite their simplicity and low cost, autogyros were soon replaced by "true" helicopters.

Rotorcraft Mini Me Reconnaissance tactics have not yet reached "fly on the wall" status, but they are getting close. The British Brigade Reconnaissance Force in Afghanistan has been using tiny helicopter drones equipped with a camera that transmits full-motion video and still images back to personnel more than half a mile away.

This mini helicopter, the Black Hornet Nano, is part of an unmanned aircraft system developed by the Norwegian company Prox Dynamics.

Measuring just 4 inches long and 1 inch high, the Black Hornet Nano spins a 4-inch rotor; its mission-ready weight is 16 grams. To enhance stealth, its diminutive motor is nearly silent. It has GPS and is capable of autonomous flight. Despite its small size and apparent delicacy, the mini aircraft has been ruggedized to handle the shocks, dust, and winds of a combat theater.

The Black Hornet's greatest utility may stem from its personal nature. The UAS is deployed as a small kit containing two helicopters and a controller similar to a game console pad. Numerous soldiers can have their own kits to flexibly meet reconnaissance needs.

Useful as they are, however, the Black Hornets are not cheap. A ÂŁ20 million (about $31.3 million) contract procured only 160 drones.

Attack Pioneer Despite the widespread use of helicopters during the Korean War for medical transport and troop movement, the attack helicopter was nowhere to be found. The French Army Air Corps (Aviation Légère de l'Armée de Terre, or ALAT) determined to change that.

Experimenting with a Sud-Ouest (later Sud Aviation) S.O.1221 Djinn light helicopter, the Corps launched the first recorded missile strike from a helicopter in 1954.

The S.O 1221 was an unlikely candidate for an attack aircraft. With a largely transparent cabin holding two crew members, an empty weight of only 704 pounds, and a fuselage less than 18 feet long, it hardly looked the part of a war machine. However, the weapon it fired, the Nord Aviation manual command to line of sight (MCLOS) wire-guided anti-tank SS.10 missile, meant business, accurately delivering its 11-pound hollow charge at 80 meters (262 feet) per second.

The S.O.1221 Djinn had another distinction: the rotor was propelled not by a rotating shaft but by compressed air expelled from the rotor tips. The 240-horsepower Turbomeca Palouste IV turbo-compressor engine provided no direct power. Instead, it served as the source of the compressed air for the rotor jets.

Octodecacopter Octodecacopter may never be a common word, but there is at least one device to which it properly applies. For several years e-volo, a German company that carries out experimental aircraft designs, has been working to scale up the quadrotor lifter design seen so often in hobbyist drones. The result is the VC-200 Volocopter.

This strange but graceful craft is capable of carrying two people aloft, lifted by eighteen rotors, arranged in two concentric rings around a lightweight fuselage. Multiple test flights of several minutes have been carried out thus far; the proposed production version is predicted to have a flight duration of about an hour.

Flight control is achieved by changing motor thrust on appropriate rotors. Rear rotors are accelerated, creating more rear lift and tilting the craft forward. All rotors then add to forward propulsion.

E-volo views the Volocopter as an innovative experimental design as well as potential practical transportation. Its all-electric propulsion is environmentally friendly, and the unique drive system makes it easier to pilot than a conventional helicopter. Others apparently recognize this potential: after posting its maiden flight video last year, the company raised a crowdfunding investment of $1.64 million in less than 4 days on the German Website Seedmatch.
