Experience In Upgrading WesternHelicopters Gives IAI’s TamamDivision Edge To Modernize RussianMi-24 Helicopters

Israel Aircraft Industries’ Tamam Division hasdeveloped into a world leader in upgradingWestern and Eastern helicopters.Recently, Tamam participated in an extensiveupgrading program for the Russian made Mi-24 helicopter, which has transformed the Mi-24 into a modern aircraft capable of meetingmany different types of missions. As a resultof Tamam’s capability in upgrading helicop-ters, it recently won a competition to upgradeMi-24 helicopters for a South Asian customer.In the Mi-24 upgrade project Tamam was to-tally responsive to the customer’s requirementadding additional applications to the helicop-ter’s already wide multi-mission capabilities.Tamam has been in the helicopter upgradingbusiness since 1985, but the major program thattransformed Tamam into a world leader in thisarea was the joint Israel Air Force (IAF) /United States Marine Corps’ Cobra upgradeprogram.Tamam was the prime contractor on the Cobraprogram, which gave the IAF and United StatesMarine Corps Cobras the capability to launchTOW and Hellfire missiles during nighttimemissions. More than 400 Cobras were upgradedwith a total contract value of approximately$500 million.“The IAF/U.S. Marine Corps Night TargetingSystem program transformed Tamam and al-lowed us to move into additional sophisticatedprograms,” said Dov Joels, Tamam’s Interna-tional Marketing Manager.“In addition to the Cobra and Mi-24, Tamam

has worked on upgrading and improving sys-tems on the Bell 407, the Gazelle, the MD-500,the Mi-17 and the Ka-50 helicopters,” addedJoels.Joels stressed that one of the most importantelements in a helicopter upgrading program isestablishing a solid understanding of what thecustomer truly needs. At the beginning of eachprogram, Tamam establishes with the customer,a joint team of experts including pilots and tech-nical staff, to interact during all important de-cision stages of the program.“Cooperative programs are all very important,”added Joels “We fully understand that in to-

Sikorsky Awards the Ramta DivisionContract for an All-CompositeFolding H-60 StabilatorSikorsky Aircraft Corpora-tion has awarded the IsraelAircraft Industries (IAI)Ramta Division a contract forthe design and development ofa composite folding stabilatorouter wings for the H-60 se-ries of Black Hawk andSeahawk helicopters. Serialproduction of the H-60 com-posite stabilator outer wingshas over $35 million in rev-enue potential to IAI-Ramtaover the next 20 years.Development efforts will in-clude flight-testing and willpave the way for U.S. Armyand Navy qualification. Pend-ing successful flight qualifica-tion, it will become a commonstabilator on all Black Hawkand Seahawk platforms withinfollow-on serial productioncontracts covering both new

production and retrofit pro-grams.The IAI-Ramta design isbased on a very advanced in-tegrally constructed carbonfiber aerostructure, which wasoptimized to provide signifi-cant weight and cost savingsrelative to the existingstabilator made of aluminumsheet metal construction. Ben-efits include increased pay-load and mission flexibility aswell as lower cost.The cost for the design, devel-

opment, and risk mitiga-tion testing of thecomposite H-60 stabilator isbeing shared betweenSikorsky and IAI-Ramta.Chanan Ben-Dov, Director ofMarketing and Business De-velopment for the IAI RamtaDivision said: “We wereawarded this contract follow-ing a very tough competitionagainst many other aerospacecompanies both domestic andinternational. We managed towin by proposing a very ad-vanced aerostructural designwhile simultaneously provid-ing the proof that it could beserially manufactured at com-petitive prices.”Sikorsky Aircraft Corporationis a subsidiary of United Tech-nologies Corporation ofHartford, Connecticut, USA,which provides a broad rangeof high-technology productsand support services to theaerospace and defense indus-try. Sikorsky is under contractto deliver 24 Black Hawktransport helicopters to theIsrael Air Force (IAF) in 2002under a Foreign Military Sales(FMS) contract with the Gov-ernment of Israel. The IAFBlack Hawk procurement hasset the stage for possible fu-ture cooperative agreementsbetween United Technologies,Inc. and IAI-Ramta as well asthe rest of the Israeli aero-space industry.

In order to respond rapidly to the changingrequirements of customers already operatingUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), designedand manufactured by Israel Aircraft Indus-tries Malat Division, the division has adoptedan engineering approach known as“adaptivity.”This design philosophy is also being appliedto new UAVs so that the customer, in the fu-ture, can make the changes required to meethis operational needs. For example, the sameUAV will be able to carry different payloads,without violating the weight and volume re-strictions.

“Adaptivity” Philosophy Allow IAI’SMALAT Division to Remain WorldLeader in UAV Design

Pioneer UAV currently in service with theU.S. Navy. It was first delivered to the U.S.Navy in 1985 and was planned for use until1994. Today, the Navy is extending its op-erational service until at least 2007 due tothe ability of the system to accept to moremodern payloads and other specializedequipment.“The Pioneer program is a testimony that the‘adaptivity’ philosophy works” said Chemla.The “adaptivity” approach applies to severalfields related to UAVs:1. Avionics Systems: Malat has developedtechnologies that enable integration of manydifferent payloads without requiring a changeto the aircraft’s computer. For example, theHunter UAV which was delivered to the U.S.Army in the early 1990s was equipped withan 8086 processor, which is today consideredvery slow. The U.S. Army succeeded in in-stalling 23 different payloads on the Hunterwithout the involvement of the manufacturer.2. Data Communication Systems: A spe-cial adaptation box is installed in the UAVand is capable of compressing many typesof signals such as telemetry, audio, video andSAR together and decompressing the infor-mation afterwards. The box is built in such amanner that it can be used for new applica-tions in the future.3. Ground Control Station: The GroundControl Station is built as a modular unit al-lowing for the changes in the software con-figuration. The software enables the use of avariety of payloads for different missions,without requiring significant changes to thestation. For example, Malat Division devel-oped an automatic take-off and landing sys-tem for the IAI designed Ranger UAV andintegrated it afterwards in the Hunter UAVwith only minimal changes to the software.“The bottom line for the ‘adaptivity’ philoso-phy,” conluded Chemla, “is that the approachreduces costs when making changes in theUAV system”.

“Actually, this ‘adaptivity’ design philosophyis not a new concept at Malat,” said JacquesChemla, Malat’s Deputy Director of Engineer-ing. “We knew the requirements would changeand that we had to plan in advance to installnew payloads without affecting the flight per-formance of the UAV. We wanted to make surethat if the customer wanted to install a differ-ent payload in the future, instead of the currentone, he could do so without technical person-nel or purchasing a larger UAV.”“Allowing for growth in payloads is a majorconsideration taken into account in the basicdesign of the UAV so that it will be possibleto adapt the new payload to the full missionsystem as well,” added Chemla.An example of this advanced planning is the

A lightweight Electro-Optical payload, de-signed and manufactured by Israel Aircraft In-dustries’ Tamam Division exhibited for the firsttime at the Airborne Law Enforcement Asso-ciation exhibition, held on July 17-20, 2002,in Tucson, Arizona.The Plug-in Optronic Payload (POP) is a modu-lar, compact, competitively priced gyro stabi-lized system. The POP is based on a uniquePlug-in slice concept. The “slice” contains theoptronic sensors which can be easily replacedin the field within minutes, without the needfor alignment or adjustment.POP-200’s state-of-the-art FLIR makes it thebest-cost/performance ratio system of its kindcomplying with the toughest current require-ments. The standard configuration also includesa color TV camera with powerful zoom lens, alaser pointer and an automatic video tracker. AVCR and a Data Link are optional.A single observer using a hand control unit andvideo monitor operates the system. The pay-load is able to host various “slices” such asFLIR, color CCD, Laser pointer and Laserrange finder. This “slice” concept allows foreasy upgrades whenever new sensor slices areintroduced.POP is designed as a day and night observa-

tion system with a standard configuration whichincludes a high performance Focal Plane Ar-ray thermal imager, color CCD, automaticvideo tracker and Laser pointer.The system’s electronics is contained within theturret thus allowing for easy installation andmaintenance.Installation on the helicopter is performed withthe standard dovetail mount. The total weightof the system is less than 16kg (35 lb.).POP is ideal for law enforcement missions. Thesystem has been flight-tested by various lawenforcement agencies and Tamam is expectingto conclude some new contracts this year.POP-200 is the third generation in a family ofwell-proven models with hundreds of systemsin service with numerous users in the U.S. mili-tary and in various services and law enforce-ment agencies worldwide.POP-200 systems have accumulated thousandsof flight hours. The system is in full produc-tion thus assuring short delivery schedules.IAI’s Tamam Division is a world leader indeveloping optronic sensors for use on alltypes of airborne platforms including thosein service with the U.S. military and otherarmed forces and security agencies through-out the world.

The Airborne Law Enforcement AssociationExhibition in Tucson, Arizona:

tries, and particularly those known as Vysegrad-four (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia andHungary), to provide their Air Forces with first-rate helicopters, at a low cost relative to newcombat helicopters. This has resulted in a com-bined effort and plan for upgrading, by theDefense Ministers of those countries, to issuea joint tender for upgrading their Mi-24 heli-copters.“Because of our proven experience in upgrad-ing both Western and Eastern helicopters,Tamam Division is strongly inclined to partici-pate in and hopefully win this tender,” DovJoels said. “I don’t think there is another com-pany in the world that knows how to do thisbetter than we do. The management of IAI sees

this project as part of an important process toestablish its position as the number one com-pany in the field of helicopter upgrading. There-fore, all divisions of IAI, including the LahavDivision, which deals with upgrading of the Mi-17 and Ka-50 helicopters, will be enlisted tocontribute to the success of the project. Ourcontingency plans discuss the transfer of up-grading manufacturing and assembly infra-structure to the requesting countries via knowl-edge transfer, in order to perform a significantportion of these projects in their own countries.This will enable the local industries to benefitfrom a project at the forefront of technology,while employing a significant number of work-ers,” Joels added.
