New outer wing hardpoints for increased payload. Engines: General Electric F110-GE-129 engines. These upgrades make the F-15EX a significantly more capable and versatile aircraft compared to its predecessors.

Missile facts 🚀 The AIM-9 Sidewinder is one of the most well-known and widely used air-to-air missiles in history. in this post we will discuss a brief overview of its development and operational history: 1950s The AIM-9 Sidewinder was developed by the United States Navy in the early 1950s. Its development began as a project to create a simple, reliable, and effective air-to-air missile that could be used by fighter aircraft. The Sidewinder was the first successful infrared homing missile, which means it could home in on the heat emitted by aircraft engines. - The missile's name, "Sidewinder," was inspired by the snake that detects its prey using infrared heat. - Upgrades and Variants : will be discussed later on in a different post. The AIM-9 Sidewinder has been responsible for destroying over 270 aircraft in combat. Which makes it the most deadly missile in dog fighting. The AIM-9 Sidewinder has several unique design features that have contributed to its long-standing success as an air-to-air missile. 1. Infrared Homing Seeker, at 1956!! (Heat-Seeking):The AIM-9 was the first successful missile to use an infrared homing seeker, allowing it to detect and lock onto the heat emitted by an enemy aircraft's engines. This technology enabled the missile to be fire-and-forget, meaning that once launched, it would autonomously guide itself to the target without further input from the pilot. 2. Rollerons:A distinctive and innovative feature of the AIM-9's design is the use of "rollerons." These are small, free-spinning wheels with fins on the missile's tail fins. As the missile spins in flight (a result of the gyroscopic effect), the rollerons help stabilize the missile and counteract any unwanted roll, improving its aerodynamic stability and accuracy.This simple but effective mechanism contributed to the missile's reliability and ease of use. 3. Proportional Navigation:The AIM-9 uses a guidance method known as proportional navigation, which calculates the interception point of the target by continuously adjusting its flight path. This method is more effective than earlier guidance techniques, enabling the missile to follow a more direct path to the target, increasing the likelihood of a successful hit.

The Bundeswehr has awarded Rheinmetall a substantial order for decoy flares for protecting aircraft. The German military can now procure over 470,000 decoys from Rheinmetall’s tried-and-tested Birdie product line. Covering the period December 2023 to December 2029, the contract is worth nearly €50 million. Birdie is an acronym standing for “Bispectral Infrared Decoy Improved Efficiency”. Marketed by Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH of Fronau, these infrared decoys, or ‘flares’, are ejected from helicopters, transport planes and jets to distract oncoming infrared-homing guided missiles. The flares simulate the heat signature of exhaust gases emitted by the aircraft engine. The current contract specifies delivery of two different Birdie products: IR-Birdie 118 BS and IR-Birdie 218 BS. Both are already in service with the Bundeswehr, which refers to them as “Decoy, Aircraft, DM189A1, PT” and “Decoy, Aircraft, DM169A1, PT”, respectively. Owing to the current security situation, aircraft self-defence has come sharply back into focus again. Decoys are one way of accomplishing this. Among other things, these include pyrotechnic flares, i.e., products designed to distract infrared search head-equipped surface-to-air missiles (SAM) and air-to-air missiles (AAM). Other techniques include chaff for thwarting enemy radar, and smoke-obscurant munitions such as Rheinmetall’s fast-acting ROSY smoke screen. https://lnkd.in/eB9f2n4H #Rheinmetall #Bundeswehr

The United States is developing an inexpensive and easy-to-manufacture high-precision aircraft munition with a range of more than 400 kilometers specifically for #Ukraine. This became known from a request from the United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Weapons Directorate. According to the request, the Air Force “seeks to fund the initial phase of development of a new aviation munition called ERAM”. The document states that it “will be key to enhancing Ukraine’s capabilities and should be an affordable weapon type adapted for mass production.” However, this is not the first mention of the #ERAM project itself. Back in January of this year, the United States Air Force released requirements for a new precision-guided munition. According to them, it had to be placed on an aircraft platform and reach a subsonic speed of 200 m/s, covering a distance of at least 250 nautical miles (463 km). The ERAM was to be equipped with a warhead weighing about 500 pounds (250 kg), which would have the proper penetrating and fragmentation effect. It should be equipped with a fuze with multiple modes of operation. The accuracy of the munition is determined by the сircular error probable of up to 10 meters. Particular attention is paid to the ability of the navigation system to operate in the face of active countermeasures by enemy electronic warfare systems. An important requirement for ERAM is the ability to rapidly scale up production: more than 1,000 munitions per year 24 months after the contract is signed. Applicants The U.S. Air Force Weapons Directorate has issued a request for proposals from companies, some of which already have ready-made proposals or prototypes and developments. In particular, the #ERAM requirements are met by Boeing’s #PJDAM munition, which consists of a 500-pound bomb, guidance system, fuselage and Kratos-TDI-J85 jet engine that transforms a conventional bomb into a cruise missile. Another alternative is the similar project JSOW-ER by Raytheon and Gray Wolf by Northrop Grumman. https://lnkd.in/df7-r3AB

🛩️ Exciting Update from the Aviation World! 🚀 Ever wondered how fighter jets evade incoming missiles? Let's dive into the fascinating world of aerial combat tactics! When a missile locks onto a fighter jet, pilots rely on a sophisticated arsenal of flares and countermeasures to outmaneuver the threat. These maneuvers are crucial in ensuring the safety of both the aircraft and its crew. Flares, small pyrotechnic devices, are deployed to distract infrared-guided missiles by creating a heat signature diversion. This diversion tricks the missile into targeting the flare instead of the aircraft, allowing the pilot precious seconds to execute evasive maneuvers. Additionally, fighter jets are equipped with advanced electronic countermeasures (ECM) systems, which disrupt enemy radar signals and missile guidance systems. These ECM systems play a vital role in confusing and neutralizing incoming threats, giving pilots the upper hand in aerial engagements. In the dynamic world of aerial combat, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. That's why continuous innovation and training are key pillars in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of our brave pilots. #Aviation #FighterJets #AerialCombat #MilitaryTechnology #Innovation #SafetyFirst #aviation #aerospace #aeroplane #aircraft #mechanicalengineering
