Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Israel Aircraft Industries Demonstrated Multi-Role Multi-Mission Helicopter at 2003 Aero India Exhibition
Feb 9, 2003
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) together with Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd. (IAI) presented at the 2003 Aero India exhibition the HAL Advanced Light Helicopter ('DHRUV') demonstrator, equipped with IAI's Integrated Avionics Package for helicopters.
The multi-role multi-mission helicopter together with the Advanced Modular Avionics System took part in the air show and demonstrated its capabilities both as an advanced helicopter for any mission, civil or military, and as an advanced avionics package that includes Glass Cockpit, Observation and targeting system and EW suite. This demonstrator for the export version of the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) flew during the air show and took potential customers for a demo flight, in order to get first hand experience in the helicopter and its systems.
IAI's Lahav Division has developed a Modular Avionics Package to answer important and ever growing requirements in the helicopter battle arena. The Modular Avionics Package, which is based on the same proven core avionics, successfully utilized by IAI/Lahav in most of its recent combat aircraft upgrade programs, enables helicopters to operate effectively and safely in modern battlefield conditions.
The Israel Defense Force's vast combat experience is incorporated into IAI/Lahav's Modular Avionics Package for helicopters. Its 'Glass Cockpit' concept, comprehensive Electronic Warfare Suite, Day and Night observation and targeting system, and flexible armament package have all been combat proven.
IAI/Lahav Modular Avionics Package for helicopters can be tailored to the exact customer needs and enables a common architecture to be achieved for assault, attack and multi-role helicopters. For example, versions are offered for both the Mi-17 and Ka-50-2 helicopters.
