Self Propelled Air Defence System

The Buk M2E / SA-17 Grizzly 9A317 TELAR is equipped with the new NIIP 9S36 passive phased array engagement radar, which provides the capability to concurrently track and illuminate multiple targets for the four 9M317 Grizzly SAM rounds. The TELARs are typically each paired with a 9A316 TEL/Transloader. Note the electrooptical tracker above the antenna aperture

The unique antenna arrangement is inherited from the 3M9 / SA-6 Gainful series seekers (via Missiles.ru); right: Agat ARGS Slanets monopulse active radar homing seeker for the 9M317 Grizzly and 9M38M Gadfly missiles (Agat).

9A39M1 Transporter Erector Launcher/Transloader

The 9A39 Gadfly/Grizzly TEL / transloader follows the model established with the S-300V system, where the transloader can fire ready rounds but is dependent on a TELAR for tracking and illumination. Four ready rounds and four reloads are carried. Depicted an upgraded digital 9A39MB

9S36 Low Altitude Acquisition/Engagement Radar

Mast mounted 9S36 low altitude acquisition radar for the Buk M2E. This design supplements the Snow Drift and TELAR mounted 9S36 radars with low altitude coverage to an extended radar horizon.

9S470 Self Propelled Command Post

The fully mobile 9S470 series of battery command posts are integrated on the GM-579 series tracked chassis.

9T31M1 Self Propelled Crane

The 9T32M1 self-propelled crane is a late model of the standard loading crane used with 2K12 / SA-6 Gainful and 9K37M1 / SA-11 Gadfly batteries. The URAL-375 chassis is used. (Russian internet).


GNPO Agat 9K37MB Buk MB

Belarus systems integrator GNPO Agat displayed the 9K37MB Buk MB system at the Milex 2005 exhibition. The Buk MB is a digital systems retrofit performed on the 9K37-1/9K37M1 / SA-11 Gadfly, replacing the 1980s technology systems in the 9S470 command post, the 9A39 TEL/TL and 9A310 TELAR, and relifing other system components. The upgraded system components have been designated the 9S470MB, 9A39MB and 9A310MB. The Soviet era CRT displays have been replaced with LCD panels, a laser rangefinder has been added to the 9Sh38-3 EO system to provide range known firing solutions, and the fully digital command post has been more tightly integrated with the Agat 9S52M1RB Polyana DM sector command post.

Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor

Maj. John Teichert, USAF, of the 411th Flight Test Squadron performs the first supersonic release of the 1,000 lb GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munition over the Mojave test range, on the 14th July, 2005

The two most common misconceptions concerning the F-22A in Australia are the belief that the aircraft cannot carry external stores, and the belief that the aircraft cannot perform strike roles effectively. Both ideas are simply falsehoods without substance

The unsuccessful competitor in the Advanced Tactical Fighter bid was Northrop's YF-23A, which continues to set the benchmark for speed and low observables shaping in second generation stealth fighters. Note the low observable cooled exhaust troughs

Sukhoi T-10/Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker

The Su-27SKM is a second generation variant of the baseline Su-27S Flanker B, incorporating smart weapons interfaces for a wide range of air to air and air to surface munitions

Indian AF Su-30K during the Cope India exercise. The Flanker's soundly defeated US Air Force F-15Cs during this exercise, exploiting not only superior BVR radar/missile capabilities, but also the TKS-2 datalink, used to network flights of Flankers

Russian Navy Su-33 (formerly Su-27K) in operational service. The PLA-N has ordered its first Su-33s, aiming to acquire up to 50 to equip the Varyag CVA

An Su-27K prototype performs a dry hookup during buddy refuelling trials using the UPAZ-1A Sakhalin series centreline refuelling store. Most late build Flankers are equipped with a retractable aerial refuelling probe and floodlights

A derated AL-41F supersonic cruise engine has been trialled in an Su-27S since 2004.

ADA Defender - Are the F-111

By far the best recent example of bureaucratic incompetence and dishonesty in Australia's DoD is the completely arbitrary decision to prematurely retire Australia's F-111 fleet, which at full strength accounted for over 50 percent of Australia's striking capability

The F-111F was the most capable US Air Force variant, this example armed with four GBU-10 laser guided bombs and with its AVQ-26 Pave Tack electro-optical targeting pod deployed. The F-111 played a pivotal role in the destruction of Saddam's forces in 1991, as well as distinguishing itself during the Linebacker II campaign and El Dorado Canyon strikes. Around 70 F-111Fs, a large fraction with new Pacer Strike avionics, are mothballed now at AMARC

US Strategic Air Command FB-111A aircraft carried nuclear armed AGM-69 SRAM defence suppression missiles in the internal weapon bay, which all F-111s were built with. Australia's F-111 has played an important role as a test platform for clearing a wide range of new internally carried munitions being developed for the F-22A and later JSF

The U.S. Air Force prematurely mothballed its Electronic Attack force of 40 Grumman/GD EF-111A Ravens in 1999, after an acrimonious public debate. The lost capability is now being reconstituted using even older B-52H airframes, equipped with external jamming pods, unlike the compact internal variant of the ALQ-99 carried by the Ravens. The traditional defence penetration related roles performed by electronic attack aircraft are increasingly broadening to encompass communications and network jamming

The F-111 is an unusually versatile high performance aircraft, and has been used as a strike fighter, support jammer and also a testbed vehicle for carrying a long range SAR/GMTI radar in high threat environments. With over 200 mothballed airframes available in AMARC, the aircraft has the potential with upgrades to remain in service well past 2020, and fulfill a much wider range of roles than currently used for.

Boeing F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet

The F/A-18A is Australia's air combat fighter, acquired to provide an air superiority aircraft to replace the Mirage IIIO series. When acquired it was the most capable fighter in the region.

The acquisition of Russian designed Sukhoi Su-27SK and Su-30MK series fighters by most regional nations now presents an environment where the F/A-18A is outclassed in all key performance parameters. With the remaining fatigue life in Australia's F/A-18A fleet to expire over the next decade, a costly program to replace fuselage centre barrels has been initiated to stretch the life of these aircraft. Radar, electronic warfare, guided weapon and missile upgrades are now in progress.

This website will post a selection of relevant articles, submissions and papers covering F/A-18A-D Hornet and F/A-18E-G Super Hornet variants.

Joint Strike Fighter

In 2002 in a surprise decision the then Defence Minister announced that the planned AIR 6000 flyoff to choose Australia's future fighter aircraft was to be effectively stopped, with the developmental Joint Strike Fighter declared to be the preferred aircraft type.

The Joint Strike Fighter is not designed to perform air superiority roles, unlike the larger F-22A, and is not well adapted to performing the long range strike role now filled by the F-111. There has been considerable adverse press associated with JSF cost overruns and project delays.

The Joint Strike Fighter best compares in its roles and missions, sizing and relative capabilities to the Republic F-105D Thunderchief, the workhorse of the US bombing effort during the Vietnam conflict. What is remarkable is the extent to which a similar roles/missions requirement, defined almost four decades later, produced a combat aircraft of nearly identical size and weight. Like the F-105, the JSF is not designed to be a top end air superiority fighter, but is designed with was intended to be a robust self defence capability.
