What is Flight Termination System

  A Flight Termination System is a safety mechanism designed to terminate the flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or missile in the event of an emergency or a deviation from its intended trajectory. The primary purpose of an Flight Termination System is to prevent the vehicle from posing a threat to people, property, or other assets on the ground in case of a malfunction or loss of control. Here are the key components and functions of a Flight Termination System : Safety and Compliance: Flight Termination System is an essential component for compliance with safety regulations and standards in the aerospace industry. It ensures that unmanned vehicles can be safely operated in various environments, including controlled airspace. Remote Control: Flight Termination System is typically remotely controlled by a ground-based operator or a flight control center. This operator monitors the vehicle's performance and can initiate the termination process if necessary. Mon...

Pakistan's New Power: AKINCI TIHA

The AKINCI Attack Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TİHA) in the inventory of the Pakistan Air Force has been spotted for the first time. Pakistan had previously procured the Bayraktar TB2 UAV as well.


 

Defense industry relations between Turkey and Pakistan are growing stronger each day. We first informed our readers about Pakistan's order of the AKINCI TİHA and Bayraktar TB2 UAV on June 29, 2022. On October 21, 2022, the AKINCI trainees from Pakistan successfully completed their training and returned to their country.

After approximately one year, the first images of the Pakistani AKINCI TİHA were shared on social media. Images of the Pakistani Bayraktar TB2 UAV were also recently shared on social media. The exact number of AKINCI and Bayraktar TB2 UAVs that Pakistan will procure from Turkey remains uncertain. Additionally, it is known that the Pakistan Air Force is interested in munitions such as Miniature Bomb and MAM-T.

The AKINCI TİHA, with its high payload capacity, is capable of using almost all the munitions that an F-16 fighter jet can use. Thanks to this feature, BAYKAR has exported the AKINCI TİHA to six different countries so far. Furthermore, contracts for the procurement of Bayraktar TB2 UAVs have been signed with 30 countries.

Since 2014, BAYKAR has produced over 500 Bayraktar TB2 UAVs. These UAVs have been successfully used in various combat zones in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Karabakh, Ukraine, and different regions of Africa.

Anti-Jamming Antennas for the U.S. Military

Q & A with Peter Soar, Business Development Manager, Military and Defense, Hexagon | NovAtel. Read more from this cover story here.   What have been the advances since you began deliveries of the GAJT-710ML? The original signal plan for GAJT-710ML was GPS L1 and GPS L2 only, with specific capability to use civil, P(Y) and M-Codes. GAJT-710ML as delivered in 2019 addressed GPS L1, Galileo E1, QZSS L1, GPS L2, QZSS L2. The version delivered provides situational awareness by jammer power level – by automatic gain control (AGC), as well as jammer direction-finding to the most powerful jamming signal. We are in the process of improving GAJT-710ML to be able to give simultaneous directions to multiple jammers. Meanwhile, deployment of GAJT-410ML has started. This is a 4-element version of the same technology as GAJT-710ML but for smaller platforms. By using an internal junction box, the user can install this GAJT with just one small RF cable penetrating the vehicle...

Radar Altimeter : Playing a Vital Role in Safe Descent from Space to Earth

Image
 In today's aviation and space industry, radar altimeters play a critical role in ensuring safe landings and post-landing operations. These devices are used to measure and control the altitudes of various air and space vehicles, including airplanes, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and spacecraft. In this article, we will explore what radar altimeters are, how they work, and their applications in different fields. What Is a Radar Altimeter? A radar altimeter is a device that uses radar signals for altitude measurement. Essentially, it emits narrow radar signals downward towards the surface and measures the reflection of these signals from the surface. These reflections are used to calculate the altitude of the vehicle. Radar altimeters typically measure altitude above sea level, which is why they are also referred to as NOAA (Nadir-looking Operational Atmospheric Sounder). How Do They Work? Radar altimeters employ microwave radar signals for altitude measurement. The d...
