Royal Thai Army to procure 9 more UH-60A Black Hawk helicopters
Aviation Defense News June 2022 aerospace air force industry
POSTED ON WEDNESDAY, 01 JUNE 2022 11:44
As reported by Defense Studies, the Department of Transportation of the Royal Thai Army on its website on May 27, 2022, announced it would purchase 9 Sikorsky UH-60A Black Hawk (Refurbished) helicopters under the general-purpose helicopter procurement project, Phase 2, along with other necessary components, and 2 aircraft hangars. This should be purchased in part for the Army Aviation Center which wants to replace retired aircraft.

Currently, the 9th Aviation Battalion of the Aviation Regiment is based at the Royal Thai Army Aviation Center located at Somdet Phra Srinagarindra Camp, Khao Phra Ngam Subdistrict, Mueang Lop Buri District. Lopburi. 15 UH-60L, 3 UH-60M, and 3 UH-60A (Refurbished) delivered in 2020.
In total, the Royal Thai Army Aviation Center will have 24 general-purpose helicopters, UH-60L/M/A.
The Royal Thai Army Aviation Center is the administrative organization in the Royal Thai Army responsible for the doctrine, personnel, and configuration of all army aviation units. It is based at Fort Princess Srinagarindra, in Mueang Lopburi District. Thai military aviation began in 1911 when three Siamese army officers were sent to France to learn to pilot aircraft. They returned to Siam in 1913 with four Nieuport monoplanes and four Breguet biplanes. An aerodrome was constructed at Don Mueang and the army aviation units moved there on 17 March 1914. On 27 March 1914, the unit became the Army Air Corps. Since then, 27 March has been observed as the birthday of the Royal Thai Air Force.
In 1918, the Army Air Corps gained the status of a division consisting of three wings. It remained under the army until December 1921 when it was renamed the Air Division and was placed directly under the Ministry of War. The Air Division's name changed again in 1935 to the Air Force Division. In 1937 it was proclaimed the Royal Thai Air Force. In 1967 the Army Aviation School was founded, and the Army Aviation Center was created on 20 September 1977.

La Royal Thaï Navy (RTN) a choisi son nouveau drone MALE avec l’Elbits Systems Hermes 900 a confirmé vendredi le vice-amiral Pokkrong Monthatphalin, porte-parole de RTN. Les drones seront déployés sur des bases navales côtières.
Il a déclaré que le secrétaire général permanent de la Défense, Warakiat Rattananont, avait signé hier une approbation pour l'offre gagnante et qu'un contrat formel pour l'acquisition des drones devrait être signé dans les 30 jours, entre la RTN et le représentant d'Elbit Systems en Thaïlande.
Le marché a été approuvé par le Département du contrôleur et une annonce publique officielle sera publiée après la signature officielle du contrat.
Cinq concurrents
Cinq entreprises, une de Turquie, de Chine et des États-Unis et deux d'Israël ont rejoint l'offre de RTN. Les fournisseurs de Chine et de Turquie ont proposé trois drones, tandis qu'Elbit Systems en a proposé sept et l'autre société israélienne, IAI, en a proposé cinq. Le soumissionnaire américain a échoué au test de sélection.
L'armée royale thaïlandaise dispose actuellement de quatre drones Hermes 450, stationnés au centre d'aviation de l'armée dans la province de Lop Buri.
Hermes 900 « StarLiner » design et caractéristiques
L'avion sans pilote Hermes 900 « StarLiner » a une envergure de 17 mètres et une masse maximale au décollage de 1’600 kg. La capacité de décollage et d'atterrissage automatiques (ATOL) de l'avion lui permet de décoller et d'atterrir dans des environnements de visibilité proche de zéro. Un système de dégivrage actif est installé pour éliminer la glace sur les surfaces afin d'assurer un fonctionnement sûr dans des conditions de givrage.
Le drone a une capacité d'éclairage directe et indirecte de cible et peut effectuer des missions, selon les règles de vol aux instruments (IFR) dans toutes les conditions météorologiques.
Le drone Hermes 900 « StarLiner » peut transporter une gamme de charges utiles multi-capteurs pesant jusqu'à 450 kg pour de multiples applications. Il est compatible avec les charges utiles électro-optiques multispectrales (EO) telles que SPECTRO XR, Wescam MX15/20, la vidéosurveillance aéroportée persistante à grande échelle SkEye (WAPS), le système d'imagerie aéroportée MIST-G et le marqueur laser.
Le système SPECTRO XR (ISTAR) est installé sous le cône de nez pour fournir des capacités de surveillance, de contrôle des tirs et de ciblage. Le SkEye WAPS monté sur le ventre est utilisé à des fins de collecte de renseignements, d'observation et de surveillance.
Les capteurs d'imagerie embarqués capturent des images / vidéos en temps réel et assurent une surveillance persistante sur une large zone de jour comme de nuit.
Il dispose d’un plafond pratique de 30’000 pieds et offre une autonomie de vol allant jusqu'à 36 heures.
Le véhicule aérien Hermes 900 « StarLiner » est équipé d'un système d'avertissement et d'évitement de terrain (TAWS) pour la prédiction et l'évitement des obstacles. Un système coopératif et non coopératif de détection et d'évitement (D&A) avec des capteurs radar air-air est installé pour détecter les aéronefs coopératifs et non coopératifs.
Une liaison de données redondante avec une large bande passante est installée sur le cône avant de l’avion pour fournir des communications en visibilité directe (LOS) et au-delà des communications en visibilité directe (BLOS).
Il peut être doté d'un radar à synthèse d'ouverture (SAR), d'un radar à indicateur de déplacement du sol (GMTI) et d'un radar de patrouille maritime pour détecter, localiser et acquérir des cibles. Il peut également transporter des charges utiles de guerre électronique pour fournir une capacité d'attaque électronique aéroportée.
L'Hermes 900 « StarLiner » est conforme à l'exigence 4671 de l'Accord de normalisation de l'OTAN (STANAG) d'opérer dans l'espace aérien civil aux côtés des aéronefs pilotés. Il a effectué une série de vols certifiés par l'autorité israélienne de l'aviation civile au cours de la période 2017-2018 et a été déployé en juillet 2018. Il est le premier drone doté d’un système unique au monde de type anticollision « Sens & Avoid ». Le drone doit en effet pouvoir être engagé dans tous les espaces aériens sans être escorté par un aéronef avec pilote. Si certains systèmes existent déjà en termes de protection d’abordage, ce nouveau système permet une totale identification des éventuelles menaces volantes. Le nouveau système qui équipe le drone Hermes 900 « StarLiner » permet grâce à des capteurs radars et électro-optique de repérer à 360° tous les aéronefs en rapprochement.

Defense Studies recalls that the RTAF selected a fleet of next-generation military training helicopters in February 2020, as part of its pilot training enhancement programme. Augmenting its current fleet of H225M helicopters, the new H135s will be dedicated to various training missions, including ab-initio training. “ We are happy that Thailand now joins ten other military operators across the globe, underscoring the H135 as the aircraft of choice for military pilot training”, said Pierre André, Head of Airbus in Thailand.
RTAF’s H135s are each configured with two external cameras, providing pilots with an unblocked 360-degree view of the external environment, Defense Studies reports. A suite of tactical systems and the Euronav7 moving map are installed onto the helicopters for enhanced situational awareness, at the same time offering the highest levels of functionality, interface capability, and flexibility to meet the air force’s rigorous missions. For enhanced crew comfort, the aircraft are fitted with conditioning systems, tinted windows and height-adjustable pilot seats.
RTAF’s H135 fleet is covered by Airbus’ highly adaptive HCare Smart full-by-the-hour support, and continuing airworthiness management organization digital services. As part of a customized support programme, a dedicated Technical Representative will be attached to RTAF’s operations for an initial two-year period to ensure the fleet’s high availability. Airbus will also deliver a Helionix advanced tool simulator to support RTAF’s ab-initio missions.
With over 130 units operated by military agencies worldwide for training missions, the 3-tonne-class H135 is a benchmark for training helicopters globally, having already achieved more than 400,000 military training flight hours. Well-equipped with the most advanced technologies available, including Airbus’ state-off-the-art Helionix avionics suite, the light twin-engine H135 offers optimal safety conditions for basic and advanced mission training, while providing a platform for easy and safe pilot transition to more advanced helicopters.

From the pictures published on the official Facebook page of DTI Thailand, the prototype of the CS/AH2 105mm light cannon is different from the CS/AH2A 105mm towed cannon that Norinco, China, had previously displayed at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition 2021 at Zhuhai, at several points.
As can be seen from the exterior, the Thai DTI CS/AH2 105mm prototype has a muzzle brake, a breech mechanism, and other components that look similar to a light cannon with a curved projectile BAE Systems M119 (L119), which is assembled in Thailand, totaling 22 units.
DTI's prototype CS/AH2 105mm, which was built with 2 guns, was also found to be equipped with a display on the gun. That looks similar to the 12 NEXTER LG1 Mk III 105mm light cannons that were recently delivered.
This makes it possible to consider that the CS/AH2 105mm light cannon should have a digital fire control system and a satellite coordinate system. The soil temperature measurement system drives the air current bullet and links with the Forward Observation Officer as well.
Light artillery, curved projectile M119, stationed in the 31st Artillery Battalion, King's Guard, 1st Artillery Regiment, King's Guard, 1st Division, King's Guard, and light artillery, curved projectile, LG1 Mk III, stationed In the 11th Artillery Battalion 1st Artillery Regiment, His Majesty's Guard, 1st Division, His Majesty's Guard.
The Royal Thai Army also needs new 105mm light cannons to replace a large number of old systems that have been in use for a long time and are outdated, such as 12 M425 towed light cannons and 32 M618A2 towed light cannons. Built in Thailand, etc.
