The tanks are emptied simultaneously, or one by one in a crew-selected sequence. Given an airfield-to-fire range of 100 km and an airfield to reservoir range of 10 km, the <u><b>Be-200</b></u> is capable of delivering up to 270 tons of water to the fire zone without refuelling. Its high climb rate is a most valuable characteristic for firefighting in mountainous terrain and water scooping/dumping near obstacles, such as trees or hills. If fitted with special dispersers, the<b> Be-200</b> can also be employed to put out burning fuel, extinguish ship fires, and disperse oil absorbers in operations to remove oil film from water surface.<br />

The IL-76P aircraft is capable of dumping 40,000 litres of water from an altitude of 50 m in four seconds. Dumped consecutively or simultaneously from two tanks at the airspeed of 280 km/h and the altitude of 80 m, water covers an area of 600x80 m with the density exceeding five litres per square metre in the centre and gradually decreasing towards the periphery. In about eight seconds all water can be dumped from both tanks.<br />

<br />
One IL-76P employed intermittently for three to four hours against a strong ground-level forest fire on an area of 50 hectares can reduce firefront expansion rate by two to three times. The most efficient technique consists in employing two to three IL-76P aircraft in turns to deliver the OS-5 extinguishing liquid. Firefighting operations can be started by new line unit crews after only a short training course.<br />

The <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/07/yak-130-combat-aircraft-trainer.html" rel="nofollow">Yak-130 aircraft trainer</a> is capable of providing sufficient pilot training to fly any fourth- or fifthgeneration jet fighter, including the Su-30 and MiG-29 family aircraft, as well as Mirage 2000, F-15, F-16, Eurofighter Typhoon, F-22, and F-35 warplanes. The Yak-130’s high versatility facilitates its integration into different national air forces, as far as its technical specifications and operational characteristics are concerned.<br />
<br />
The Yak-130 is fitted with a digital fly-by-wire system, which functions as an active flight safety<br />system and allows the instructor to adjust stability and controllability parameters to those of the aircraft being simulated. The Yak 130 aircraft cockpits are equipped with electronic displays completely identical in layout to those of fifth-generation aircraft. The aircraft can carry an integrated Osa or Kopyo radar, or an electro-optical station. If used jointly with the Pchela RPV, the Yak-130 can deliver standoff pinpoint strikes demonstrating increased combat efficiency, especially in mountainous areas.<br />

It can simultaneously track up to 10 air targets and attack up to four. The surveillance, tracking and attack envelope is limited by ± 70 deg in azimuth and +70…-60 deg in elevation. The radar can detect a target with a 19 sq.m radar cross section at 200 km. The WCS also includes an IR system providing concealed target acquisition and designation, and operation in severe ECM environment.<br />

The aircraft provides excellent interoperability within a group owing to the onboard radar and data transmission equipment ensuring automatic data exchange between four interceptors at a range of up to 200 km. The group leader assigns targets to his wingmen. A group of four MiG-31Es is capable of controlling an 800-900km-long frontline. The aircraft features EW assets operating both in the radar and IR frequency bands.<br />
<br />
The <span style="color: #e69138;"><u><b>MiG-31E Fighter interceptor</b></u></span> is designed to intercept and destroy air targets at low and<br />
high altitudes, in the forward and aft hemispheres, both in the lookup and lookdown modes, in all weather conditions, despite target manoeuvring and active/passive ECM. The aircraft can operate alone or within a group in the continuous or discrete field of control and guidance commands. It is capable of semiautonomous or fully autonomous operations against manoeuvring and ECM-protected targets.<br />

Recent modernization initiatives focused around rifles and ammunition are advancing the effectiveness of this proven cartridge. This <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/06/xm2010-sniper-rifle-us-army.html"><b>XM2010 sniper rifle</b></a> Employment Zone (WEZ) analysis is intended to quantify how the hit percentage of the 300 Winchester Magnum is improved thru these modernization efforts. Primarily the ballistic performance of various ammunition types will be evaluated. As part of the 300 Winchester Magnum modernization, rifles have been upgraded and ammunition improvements are being considered <b>XM2010 sniper rifle</b>. This WEZ analysis will focus on the existing ammo types being considered, as well as some additional variations allowing for newer bullet options that have not been included in any systematic analysis to date.<br />
<br />
For purposes of this analysis, the muzzle velocities from the 24" barreled (suppressed) <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/06/xm2010-sniper-rifle-us-army.html"><b>XM-2010</b></a> will be considered most relevant, and therefore used for all calculations. The A191 (MK248 Mod0) and Mod 1 rounds are fairly well known and have often been compared against each other. For purposes of the present analysis, an additional ammo type is proposed for comparison, namely 230 OTM. This proposed round will be considered in relation to the other familiar ammo types in several environments to see how the hit percentages compare.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUa89-vreNHLSLuYcmF4rECsZK65Phm5OCSO-VrojmCCQeypF4QqE64c0QZC0hXpBMIYemINF35uZAFcYOqDusgBXH2gZ-BvUADMyPzokD30AO-VVrDT_02ENzyDjLjBThYzExoF14ko/s1600/XM2010_Sniper_Rifle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUa89-vreNHLSLuYcmF4rECsZK65Phm5OCSO-VrojmCCQeypF4QqE64c0QZC0hXpBMIYemINF35uZAFcYOqDusgBXH2gZ-BvUADMyPzokD30AO-VVrDT_02ENzyDjLjBThYzExoF14ko/s400/XM2010_Sniper_Rifle.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It's clear from the dimensioned drawings that the 190 and 220 grain SMK's are very similar bullets, with the only major difference being the length of the bearing surface. The relatively blunt nose results in G7 form factors of around 1.06 for both of the SMK's. By stark contrast, the Berger 230 grain OTM has a much longer nose with a tighter meplat diameter and a optimal 7 degree boat tail. The G7 form factor of the Berger Hybrid OTM is 0.91, which indicates 15% less drag than the SMK design. This 15% drag reduction, in addition to being heavier than both of the SMK's results in the Berger Hybrid OTM having a dramatically higher Ballistic Coefficient (BC) and better ballistic performance. All of the bullets under consideration are fully stable when fired from 1:10" twist barrels.<br />
<br />
In order to conduct a complete WEZ analysis, the 3 bullet options will each be evaluated for hit percentage in various uncertainty environments. The intent of the different uncertainty environments is to determine how hit percentage is affected in relation to the variables commonly encountered in real world shooting. Atmospheric conditions will be modeled as ICAO standard sea level values1. Other uncertainties will be modeled in 3 confidence sets; high, medium and low.<br />
<br />
The high confidence uncertainty set is intended to model a highly trained shooter with a laser rangefinder, 1/2 MOA rifle, and ammunition loaded with 10 fps Standard Deviation (SD) in muzzle velocity. The medium confidence uncertainty set models a nominal shooter with an average ability to estimate wind speed, compromised use of laser rangefinder, average 1 MOA rifle with typical ammunition having 15 fps SD. Finally the low confidence uncertainty set represents poor wind estimation, MIL'ing targets for range, and below average rifle and ammunition. Detailed plots and tables of the hit percentage results for each uncertainty environment can be found in the Appendix.<br />

<br />
Of course any calculated hit percentage depends greatly on the size and shape of the target. The target that's modeled for this analysis is the standard IPSC silhouette target shown in Figure 2. Trajectories that intersect the target area are considered hits, those that don't are misses. There is no consideration made for where the bullet strikes the target. The benchmark Kinetic Energy (KE) indicated on the plots is 1000 Ft-lb. The importance of this metric is debatable, but it's shown on the plots as a reference for comparison. The benchmark Transonic (TS) speed is Mach 1.2, which equates to 1339 fps in ICAO standard conditions. The transonic speed is indicated on the WEZ plots with a TS, and all values in the hit percentage tables that correspond to velocities lower than transonic are printed in gray.<br />
<br />
The first element of the results analysis will be retained velocity for the 3 ammo types. Figure 3 shows a plot of velocity traces from muzzle to 1500 meters with numeric table values at; muzzle, 500 meters, 1000 meters, and 1500 meters. Since <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/06/xm2010-sniper-rifle-us-army.html"><b>A191 sniper rifle</b></a> is the lightest bullet, it starts out with the highest velocity. However the heavier 220 and 230 grain bullets quickly catch and surpass the 190 grain bullet in retained velocity. It only takes 162 meters for the 230 bullet to match the retained velocity (2585 fps) of the 220 grain bullet. The 220 grain bullet meets the 190 at 372 meters with a retained velocity of 2260 fps. At 262 meters, the 230 surpasses the 190 grain bullet in retained velocity (2456 fps). In summary, beyond 262 meters, the 230 grain OTM retains more velocity than both the <b><u>A191 Rifle</u> </b>and <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/06/xm2010-sniper-rifle-us-army.html"><b>MK248 Mod1 Rifle</b></a>.<br />
<br />
Retained velocity is an indicator of how flat a trajectory is. Flatness of a trajectory is related to danger space. Therefore we can say the 230 OTM has the greatest danger space on any sized target beyond 262 meters if all rounds are zeroed at the same range. In addition to relative retained velocity, it's also interesting to look at where the transonic zone falls for the three ammo types. The WEZ analysis uses Mach 1.2 (1339 fps) as a common transonic speed.<br />
<br />
However, it can be difficult to predict the exact velocity at which transonic stability effects begin. Figure 3 indicates the zone between Mach 1.2 and Mach 1.0. This is the zone in which one can reasonably expect the onset of transonic instability effects in a sea level environment. Figure 4 shows the ranges that correspond to the upper transonic speed zone (1339 fps to 1116 fps) for each ammo type. It's clear that the 230 OTM pushes the transonic zone much farther than either A191 or MK248 Mod1.<br />
<br />
Note that the specific levels of retained velocity are highly subject to atmospheric conditions. The above results are all for ICAO standard sea level conditions. In environments higher above sea level, the bullets will retain velocity much better and the ranges corresponding to transonic zones can be dramatically pushed out. For example, in a density altitude (DA) of 5000 feet, the range at which the 230 OTM encounters Mach 1.2 is extended from 1285 meters to beyond 1500 meters. In other words, the 230 OTM can remain comfortably supersonic to beyond 1500 meters at DA's of 5000 feet and higher. Ranges corresponding to Mach 1.2 for <b>A191</b> is increased from 982 to 1150 meters, and for <u><b>MK248 Mod1</b></u>, Mach 1.2 is extended from 1079 meters to 1260 meters.<br />
If the differences in retained velocity appear dramatic, one only needs to refer to Figure 1 which shows the 3 different bullets under consideration. The dramatic difference in bullet design is directly responsible for the dramatic difference in BC and retained velocity.Time Zerohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367109573475304821noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293861156569353623.post-42188855905208654982012-05-22T00:42:00.005+07:002012-05-22T00:46:23.035+07:00Sea King HAR Mk3 Helicopter RAF<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Westland<a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/05/sea-king-har-mk3-helicopter-raf.html"><b> Sea King HAR Mk3 Helicopter</b></a> entered RAF service in 1978 and the Mk3A in 1996; both marks of aircraft are used in the Search and Rescue (SAR) role. The aircraft are operated from six locations around the UK, with each location supporting two aircraft. There is also a detachment of two <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/05/sea-king-har-mk3-helicopter-raf.html"><b>Sea King HAR3s Helicopter</b></a> providing SAR cover in the Falkland Islands. The SAR squadrons provide 24-hour cover around the UK and the Falkland Islands throughout each year. Each squadron maintains a 15-minutes readiness state during daylight hours and a 45-minutes readiness state during the hours of darkness.<br />
<br />
For the search aspect of its role, the <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/05/sea-king-har-mk3-helicopter-raf.html"><b>Sea King Helicopter</b></a> is able to operate to precise navigational standards and is fitted with a multi-band homing system, satellite navigation systems, a search radar, a comprehensive avionics suite and a large selection of radios. For its rescue role, the aircraft is equipped with a hydraulically-operated main rescue hoist, an electrically-operated emergency rescue hoist and electrical connections suitable for powering medical equipment such as incubators.<br />
<br />
The SAR fleet of Sea Kings will shortly be fitted with a video/infrared detection pod, which is similar to the equipment used by police helicopters, to help search for casualties. All SAR crews are trained to operate using night-vision <a href="www://google.com" target="_blank"><u><b>goggles </b></u></a>over unfamiliar terrain. The standard SAR crew is made up of four members: two pilots, one of whom is the aircraft captain, a radar operator who acts as the winch operator at the rescue scene and a winchman, normally trained to paramedic standard, who will supply immediate first-aid and recovery services at the rescue site.<br />

No 33 Squadron, which is divided into two flights and the operational conversion flight, offers flexibility in its role in that the aircraft of one of the flights are fitted with desert warfare specialist equipment, while the aircraft of the other flight are fitted with arctic warfare specialist equipment.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/05/puma-and-puma-hc1-helicopter-force.html" target="_blank"><b>Puma Helicopter </b></a>are used as battlefield helicopters within the Joint Helicopter Command and provide tactical troop and load movement by day or by night. The aircraft can carry 16 fully equipped troops, or up to two tonnes of freight carried either internally or as an underslung load. The other major role is that of casualty or medical evacuation support, for which up to six stretchers can be fitted.<br />

<br />
Each aircraft is equipped with satellite-based global positioning system equipment and an instrument<br />
landing system, enabling the aircraft to be navigated accurately and to be landed at suitably equipped airfields in poor weather conditions. The normal crew of two pilots, or a pilot and a weapons systems officer, plus a crewman, is trained in procedural instrument flying and tactical low flying by day and by night using night-vision goggles. The aircrew and their supporting ground crew are also trained to operate from inhospitable areas in all conditions ranging from desert to arctic environments.<br />
<br />
For self defence, the <u style="color: #ffd966;"><b>Puma Helicopter</b></u> is being upgraded with a new defensive-aids suite. This suite includes an integrated radar warning receiver, an AAR47 missile-approachwarning system, an ALQ 144 Infrared jammer and automatic chaff and flare dispensing equipment. In addition, two cabin-mounted 7.62mm general purpose machine guns can be fitted for use by the crewmen.<br />

<br />
The <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/05/merlin-hc3-helicopter-raf.html" target="_blank"><b>Merlin HC3 Helicopter </b></a>is operated by No 28(AC) Squadron at RAF Benson and is the first of<br />
a new generation of advanced, medium support-helicopters for the <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/Search/Label/british%20Army" target="_blank"><b>RAF</b></a>. It is an all-weather, day<br />
and night, multi-role helicopter used in both tactical and strategic operational roles. The aircraft carries an impressive defensive-aids suite, which includes a Radar and Laser Warning Receiver, Missile Approach Warners and Directional Infrared Counter Measures equipment, all integrated with an automatic chaff and flare dispensing system. This is one of the most comprehensive defensive-aids suites fitted to any helicopter in the world.<br />
<br />
To ensure accurate navigation anywhere on the globe, the aircraft’s management computers take data<br />
from its laser-gyro, inertial-navigation platform and its doppler system and from air data sources, and combine the information with precise position data received from Global Positioning System satellites. Navigation at night is enhanced by the crew’s use of night vision goggles and by the aircraft’s multi-function turret, which can be fitted with forward-looking Infrared radar. To increase the aircraft’s range, the <a href="http://forcesmilitary.blogspot.com/2012/05/merlin-hc3-helicopter-raf.html"><b>Merlin Helicopter</b></a> is equipped with extended-range fuel tanks and is capable of air refuelling. Further range can be achieved by shutting down the third engine during the cruising phase of flight. It is also fitted with an active vibration-damping system, which reduces the level of noise and vibration inside the cabin to a level no greater than that of a turboprop aircraft. As a result, crew fatigue is much reduced during long transits and airframe life is increased.<br />
<br />
The <u style="color: #ffd966;"><b>Merlin Helicopter</b></u> is able to carry a diverse range of bulky cargo, either internally or under-slung. Cargo can include artillery, Landrovers or light-strike vehicles and over five tonnes of freight. The spacious cabin can also accommodate up to 24 fully equipped combat troops and, when required, will convert to carry 16 stretchers for casualty evacuation or during humanitarian and disaster relief operations. Designed to operate away from base workshops and in difficult terrain, the<u style="color: #ffd966;"><b> Merlin Helicopter</b></u> has state-of-the-art support technology and incorporates aircraft health-and-usage diagnostics and a self-test capability for ease of maintenance. The Merlin Helicopter is armed with two general purpose machine guns converted for the air role, although there is provision for additional weaponry to be fitted at a later date.<br />
