ATR72 too many crash ... seems un-safe plane ....

Saab unveils C-295 Erieye concept

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/...concept-315879/




but seem not practical, the radar mount too high, it create more balancing and resistance issue...
than u should know why AEW plane always like using plane wing mount in bottom of airframe, jike like in Saab 340&300/145 R-99A，also B373 AEW etc... because wing mount in top of airframe will close to radar and block radar down side scan up to 20~25%.
that why in picture they mount radar very high。

Panglima RMAF said before they prefer turbojet engine ....for AEW

AEW always best with long range turbojet plane (usually commercial jet retrofit)
that why best for Erieye AEW is install in A319LR/CJ, buy A319LR it have 10,000km range, 11 hrs endurance fly, have speed, small (small than B373-800), AA/MAS can service, parts easy, Erieye use alot Thales system, eazy for Thales to re-trofit in A319LR. event big space enough to install front/rear radar to cover 360%, suface search radar at bottom airframe， price A319LR about usd 90 million，all system install estimated USD 200 million, value enough for AEW&C.

also E2D no toilet ... means endurance hour is low, usually 2hrs+ fly hours.
it too small, only 2 operator.

Integration not much, bcos erieye system already use in may AEW jet,
it not re-develop entire system, just more like fit & finishing integration no new jet, all system move from existing move over to new A319 plane.
my estimation Erieye system cost about usd 50 million, usd 50 million for integration cost. so cost around usd 200 million after add A319LR cost. max also no more than usd 250 million.

technical is like that, but ....
tahan 6 hrs in plane? for all 4-5 crew
event us navy also usually 2~3 hrs fly only.

better give more better environment to crew ....

and than
" The unit cost of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is $179.36 million (flyaway cost in FY 2014)"
after add parts, maintenance , training, emulator, cost usd 220+- already.
for this price, i get Erieye system, at lease more comfort for crew.

they maybe no have simulator, only few unit they have, they can send pilot to oversea for training. event have also old version, went get new S-70S all old item dont want already.
for me, better S-70i SLEP/re-trofit wiht glass cockpit and engine, electronic first, than simulator buy on new cockpit .... if not soon still still need so slep/upgrade (already 15 year using)

70-2369 1997 M46-01: VIP transport helicopter without external fuel tanks.
70-2374 1997 M46-02: VIP transport helicopter with ESSS stub wings and external f+

this is release by Boeing early.

my simple PS photo ....ok ah...
Airbus A319 Erieye AEW&C

A319 Erieye just only one of solution ...other jet also can if meet spec.. and it taking many consideration, A319 best solution for Erieye..
ATR72 just like C-295, it have top wings than block much Erieye radar, than have to mount radar very high......
g650 and bombardier global express. have payload limitation, it only have 3 tons or less payload, event 340AEW also have 10% more payload than this 2 jet, if they hard to fit it, it maybe only can 2-3 console, means capability reduce. Saab2000/EMB145 have more than 5 tons payload.
Erieye radar it self already 1.3 tons weight and 9.7 meter length
unlike G550 just mount radar at airframe for 2 side. much lighter than Erieye Radar.

that 900kg is scaled down version of Saab's Erieye, only about close to 8 meter radar, it install in small plane ike Saab340 AEW.... detection range only 300km... offcouse it can install in G550/650/BGE. but we want more to full version with 9.7 meter radar so can get more detection range.
affcouse, it up to engineer to calculate the payload, fitting to airframe, power system and plane capability. if can fit, all welcome.
mindef just have come out AEW project, ask aircraft manufacture propose there product to fit Erieye (if Erieye is fix), set mini spec like endurance range and hours/fuel consumption/maintenance packages
finally still up to Mindef to think budget/operation/logistic detail.

no read news ah....
Mil-28 very danger, after firing missile, smoke from missile can cause Mi-28 crash.


Gas ingestion suspected as Russian army Mi-28N crashes
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/...crashes-329383/

than means mi-28 design no good/mistake ?

but seems like mindef will not get heavy attack helicopter ..... more like medium range.
so far only Tiger, T129 , AH-1z, WZ10 left only.

Attack Helicopter already long time want to get it by army...
Esscom just help them to get it more faster ...
ESSCOM just one of duty, attack helicopter can use around entire sabah/sarawak if mission needed, event can send to peninsular (using A400M) if any case needed. attach helicopter just strange our army capability.
than think more future, it no limited to esscom only, no so anti army to getting there anti-helicopter ....
those gunship no better performance/weapon than attack helicopter。。。。
