The upgraded Mi-28H will get a lightweight and more advanced onboard electronics

34
The weight of the onboard radio-electronic complex of the Night Hunter helicopter upgraded to the Mi-28HM variant will be less than that of its predecessor, reports MIC With reference to the general director of Ramensk instrument-making design bureau (included in KRET) Daniil Brenerman.



“We have achieved a reduction in the mass-dimensional characteristics of on-board radio-electronic equipment, as well as the addition of a target-tracking system to the system,” the general director said.

According to him, state tests of the modernized machine should be completed in 2016. The updated version will differ significantly from the base model.

“In particular, the Mi-28HM will receive a fundamentally new locator, which will provide the helicopter with a circular view, as well as a new control system. The new blades of the main rotor will increase the speed of the helicopter - now the Night Hunter can accelerate to 340 km / h, and the modification will improve this figure by 10 percent, ”explained Brenerman.

Help "MIC": “RPKB is the lead developer of avionics within the KRET concern and supplies on-board radio electronics for almost all combat aircraft and helicopters aviation. About 60 percent of the volume of production falls on the state defense order. ”

    The main thing is that this modernization should be in the army! For the first time I read about a modernized helicopter in the beautiful edition Arms of Russia in the year of commercials 99m. As a result, the Night Hunter with a sub-gun radar never appeared in the army ....

        It looks like this song will go on forever (about the radar) .. As for the speed, it turns out that with new blades it will develop 374 km / h? 340 + 10% = 374 .. Did you lie?
        rs: But there was an excellent helicopter with everything necessary, the tests confirmed all the characteristics, and in comparative tests the MI-28 was leaked to him in all disciplines ... But alas, a loafing resource, and greed for public money is more important than the benefit of the homeland ... ate "Black Shark" ..

          Not so clear.
          Firstly, we have a lot of Mi-24. Pilots with the Mi-24 are easier to retrain on the Mi-28 - succession high costs are minimal.

          Secondly, no one has canceled the possibility of lacing the rotors on the Ka-50

          In the third avionics ka-50 was not allowed to work at night. And even more so with modern complexes of aiming alone in any way. And the very concept of one pilot in an attack helicopter does not stand up. Since there is direct contact with ground forces. From this point of view, the Mi-28 is much safer.

          Fourth, a helicopter is not a fighter. His flight data does not define superiority unambiguously.

          The problems of the radar lay in the developers' flaws. The vibrations from the screw prevented it from functioning properly. And if on the "allikator" this problem was solved by placing it in the nose of the helicopter, then there was no place on the mi-28. here's the delays with the radar ...


          What prevents you from making your nose under the radar on the Mi-28?

          The radar does not occupy the whole place there, it is much narrower.



          Yes, and the sighting system can also be re-arranged



          And everything with the Mi-28 can look like Ka and the Ka-52.

          Here are just supra-muzzle radar allows you to survey in 360 degrees. What is much more important for a helicopter!

          And it helps to hide the car behind an obstacle, and search for goals. What also can not be done with the nose radar.

          On the Ka-52, this "problem" was not solved, it was bypassed by lowering the capabilities.

          Yes, and the Iraqi Air Force fly on the Mi-28 with installed sub-muzzle radars - already in serial

            Yes, it’s possible. But with such pilot angles that are strictly prohibited by instructions, you say that there are no such problems on MI .. of course! But in MI it is physically incapable of reaching these angles of piloting and will lose control much earlier! So this is a far-fetched problem, and it was on early helicopter samples, later the distance between the screws was increased and its (problem) was minimized ..

            Alas, MI-28 cannot work at night! This is what the article is about! What is there for those supplied to Iraq is unknown, maybe some kind of import system, and most likely an empty ball .. and promises to deliver the system when it is "finished" (something is not heard about MI-28 night operations in Iraq) The concept of one pilot is great passed the test in the 80s (fools did not sit in the USSR Ministry of Defense) and even more so with the current electronics! It’s just that the Millers couldn’t create an attack vehicle with one pilot, and fearing to lose the title of court supplier of land forces (and take off a LOT of money), they ate the Kamovites ..

              Mi - the second is not a pilot but an operator of weapons. Those. No one except Kamov was able to create an impact machine with one pilot, even after 20 years?

              those. UAVs autonomously refueling in the air could do,



              and no single helicopter?



              And you try not to watch movies, to fly around the terrain, to evade RPGs / MANPADS and still aim at ground targets.



              All percussionists do with the pilot and weapons operator. Even planes where you do not need to evade RPGs and fly at a height of several meters.


              Although a fully autonomous UAV that can take off and land without the participation of an operator can be created,

              where is the helicopter?

                All this is certainly good, but why then this article about the planned development of the station for MI-28? If we delivered helicopters to Iraq with a beautiful station, WHY do we not have it? But only development plans? What religion or party precepts do not allow us to use what we deliver to others? Or maybe everything is much simpler? There is no overhead radar there, and the Iraqis, as we are waiting for (discard at least some confirmation of the night use of these machines in Iraq) Yes, no one except Kamovtsev was able to solve the problem of one pilot, like many other things that our defense industry created, nobody could repeat in the world. About And you try not to watch movies, to fly around the terrain, to evade RPGs / MANPADS and still aim at ground targets. If you watched a movie, then the pilot piloting the KA-50 was just talking about the simplicity of piloting and the ability to simultaneously engage in fire damage, how does the helicopter work for us? Basically NURS and who should let them in. The pilot bringing the car to the target or the operator must catch the moment when the target coincides with the sight and try not to miss this moment, in the same way, working with the gun, the pilot brought the car to the target and gave the command to defeat (by the way, Ka-50, when compared with MI-28, the accuracy parameter is 4.6 times higher, proven in tests) how the operator will control the gun in motion is a riddle, the only possible operator's work is aiming a controlled weapon .. But think about how often it is used in real life? God forbid 2-3% of all combat work, and at the same time, the pilots who used URs with the KA-50 did not see any difficulties in this, and I will remind you of this at least 20 years ago! Yes, now there are problems with the production of UR "Whirlwind", which were originally planned for this machine, but this is the problem of our effective managers who have failed in technology and production, and according to the latest data, this problem is being solved .. And what is the result? Was the KA-50 more sophisticated than the MI-28? YES! Is the combat effectiveness higher? Proven by tests that again, yes! In the end, it is much cheaper than the MI-28 (this is only later, after the mythical demand for two pilots, the KA-52 began to cost more than the MI-28, and then doubts are raised especially if the radar station is finished and installed). Why, then, did they not accept this wonderful machine for MASS weapons? The answer is simple MIl's lobbying resource and undercover games associated with this (huge money, if simpler), and not such projects ruined, remember the story with "Sotka" when a finished car with unique characteristics of ready-made production was cut down and began to develop and produce technical specifications -160 which, years later, only approached the indicators of "weaving". So, nothing is new under the moon, and the merits of a particular technique do not always have a decisive factor.

                  Much easier. Acceptance system from a number of state tests; in Iraq, the acceptance system is simpler. The station did not graduate from all GSI according to the standards of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, but this does not mean that it does not exist.

                  You are completely wrong. And then NURSY, do you have a goal that is always in front of you?
                  The helicopter has an aiming system - the operator of which carries out "IN MANUAL" constant search and selection of targets. (We have no tips as in the EOTS F-35!)
                  The bombers / drums cockpit is built on the same principle.

                  Look - I think it’s immediately clear where the pilot is, where the operator



                  And on the ka-50, the pilot needs to constantly look at the LTPS screen. And there is nothing original and not achievable for competitors. Just plow for two.



                  If you still don’t understand, then try to drive while watching a movie on your phone continuously ...
