In the mid-70s a group of IAI (Israel Air Industries) engineers and IAF (Israeli Air Force) officers began a new project to develop an ultra modern Israeli fighter aircraft – a project that was supposed to take a quantum leap for aeronautics.

Designed to be the most advanced of its kind in the world by any standards, the Arie (Lion), would give the IAF a reliable option to the advanced US F-15 and F-16 types. Although it has never came through, the Arie became the cornerstone of another future and most ambitious project ever, an Israeli breakthrough to develop and produce the Lavi, the Israeli dream aircraft to outmatch the F-16.


Background

In response to the French embargo forced upon Israel after the Six-day warin 1967, a decision was made to strive for independence in the development of major weapons systems. Israel had already acquired the means to build good copies of the French Mirage, but wanted to be much more than just a clone maker.
The commander of the IAF (1982-1987), Gen. Amos Lapidot: said, “The essence was to create a technological infrastructure to develop and manufacture weapons systems in the three major weapons systems platforms – tanks, aircraft and ships. Behind that concept, were three basic rationales: First, Israel should not, and could not rely on foreign countries very volatile foreign policies. Secondly, the Israeli air force always strives to develop and use new war tactics and strategies, and was in constant need of new equipment to fulfill those operational objectives. Third, a national strategy to promote Israel 's and IAI's state-of-the-art technological accomplishments". This last point doesn't come over so well in English - by implication, these accomplishments would deter aggression, save money on expensive foreign weapon imports and maybe help Israeli exports.


Development

In 1974, an IAI team was set up to begin the Arie project. As no government approval had yet been received to produce it, the program was simply codenamed “R&D project”. Ovadia Harrari, who would later become head of the Lavi program, was to lead that endeavor.
The IAI decided to develop the Arie based on the technological knowhow acquired from the Kfir project, particularly from the Kfir-Canard program – the improved version. In fact, the first proposal which was put on hold by the Air Force, was to develop an aircraft to be named “Super Kfir” – a regular Kfir whose original J79 engine was replaced by an F100 model, the same as in early F-15/F-16s versions. That new engine would substantially increase the Super-Kfir's flying performance. However, due to the Air Force's strict specs requirements, a new draft was called for, in spite of the Kfir/Arie's visual similarities.
Over thirty different configurations were evaluated. The IAI tested several engine models, including the British Rolls- Royce RB-199, which powers the European Tornado aircraft. Soon, the options were reduced to just two. The F-100 single engine plane, or a twin-engine version.
The later, codenamed Light Weight Fighter-4 (LWF-4), was to be powered by two General-Electric F-404 engines as used in the F-18. “Looking at the different designs of the Arie, one can notice that it is an extensively modified Kfir” explains Harrari ,“ the aircraft is visually different, but its roots lay in the Kfir”.
The new future fighter aircraft, which was now codenamed “Hadish” (innovative), could be described as a single seat light fighter, capable of reaching 2.4 Mach speed, a 75,000 ft altitude ceiling, with a 480 km combat radius. Armament: would have been a 30-mm cannon and medium range air-to-air missiles. Avionics would include a radar, a helmet sight and an integral electronic warfare system. In addition, the aircraft would have low optical and radar signatures. Even the US F-15 and F-16 could not match these features at that time.
The outstanding question: An air-to-air fighter, or an air-to-ground attack aircraft?
During its initial design phases, the 1973Yom-Kippur war broke out, and the Israeli Air Force focused its attention on the battle proven air-to-air configuration concept, as air power and air superiority consist basically of air-to-air combat missions. Therefore, about 90 percent of the “Hadish” capabilities would be directed for air-to-air combat.


Technologies and Avionics


The Arie had several technological breakthroughs. It was designed to be the first Israeli aircraft to deploy digital fly-by-wire flight control system (at that time, cutting edge technology). This fly-by-wire concept, permitted the engineers to design an aerodynamically non-stable platform. Hence, they could achieve a small and highly maneuverable aircraft.
In the air-to-air version, to cope with enemy intruder aircraft, and keeping its air-superiority capabilities, the Arie would be equipped with advanced avionics and special ordnance systems: a highly sensitive Israeli radar capable of acquiring low-altitude flying targets. Advanced electro-optical systems would enable the Arie to locate ground targets at night.
Another breakthrough, was the pilot's option to use his helmet mounted sight, easing his combat workload. In the mid-70's these systems were nearly unheard of. It would take another ten years for the helmet mounted sight to become operational in any type of combat aircraft.
The Arie's cockpit resembles to a great extent that of the F-16's early versions. Besides the Head-up Display (HUD), a Monochromatic Display was mounted in the cockpit to display the radar's viewpoint.
The Pilot's view was close to 360º visibility– a life and death factor in air combats. This is now the normal design in both Western and Russian combat aircraft from the F-15 onwards.
The Arie's ordnance would include an improved 30-mm DAPA cannon, assorted air-to-air missiles, iron bombs, and precision guided ordnance. Max. military load is: 7 tons.
Although that aircraft was not meant to be a stealth aircraft, some basic stealth features were studied to give it the option to strike heavily fortified missile zones. This objective was based on the lessons learned during and after the 1973 Yom-Kippur war, when Israeli fighters had to face a huge number of SAMs. The Arie would also be equipped with an advanced Electronic-Warfare system produced by Israel , giving the pilot an early warning signal to lock on to enemy threats and jam them.
Studies were made to drastically reduce its radar signature, making it extremely difficult to be detected by enemy radar. For example, its bomb load was to be stowed inside a conformal ventral capsule, to reduce its radar cross section.


A Paper's Lion

According to the program timetable, the Arie's initial development phase should have been completed by mid 1979. Until then, the IAI would have to complete flight tests, select and define all the contractors.
By that year's end, an initial test flight was scheduled for the first of three prototypes.
By mid 1980, 10 pre-production aircrafts should be completed, with regular production to begin in the following two years. The Air Force should be receiving the first production Arie by the end of 1983. Delivery of 100 aircraft would be completed by the end of 1985.
Meanwhile, the IAF was leaning towards the US aircraft option. Rumors indicated that the USA would finally agree to sell Israel F-15s and F-16s. Finally, a decision was made to order the US aircraft. and scrap the Arie.
In August 1975, the IAF's chief, the (late) Gen. Benny Peled released a document defining the IAF's policy in relation to the Arie project. The document recommended the US F-15s and F-16s. Based on his assessment, the IAF began a procurement program of F-15s to be delivered by 1976. Moreover, it had been determined that the F-16 in principle answered Israel 's operational needs for an air superiority aircraft for the 80s. As a result of intense pressure on the IAF, Gen. Benny Peled decided to respond with a letter on May 10, 1976 , stating the reasons not to progress with the Arie: The US would agree to sell Israel F-16s. It had also been agreed that the US would sell Israel the F-100 engine, and there were not sufficient funds to keep the project moving.
“The fundamental knowledge that led to the development of the Lavi relied on the experience acquired from the “Hadish” and Arie”, says Gen. Lapidot, who created the Lavi project board, and commanded the Israeli Air Force by the time the project was canceled. “It can be definitely stated that the Arie, the Nesher and Kfir programs, added significantly to the development of the Israel Aircraft Industry (IAI), so that when we gave the “go ahead” for the Lavi, we already had a complete infrastructure in place and ready to work. In 1980, we decided to build a smaller version of the Arie. It is not by coincidence that it was named the Lavi. Lavi is a Lion (Arie), although a very much younger and smaller one”

Israël crée Air Mule, la voiture volante



Nous ne sommes pas dans un film de science-fiction,  style « Retour vers le futur II,« mais déjà dans le présent, avec cete nouvelle création israélienne par la société israélienne tactique Robotics, une filiale de UrbanAero, qui a mis au point un véhicule qui peut décoller, voler et atterrir sans pilote.
Son nom, AirMule a été conçu à des fins militaires, mais aussi civiles, telles que le transport aérien de blessés et l’extinction de certains incendies inaccessibles.
Le Dr Rafi Yoeli a fondée UrbanAero en 2007, c’est un fan des engins volants sans pilote : «Au début, les gens se moquaient de nous, ils pensaient que nous étions fous, se demandant comment on pouvait s’aventurer dans ce programme. Mais notre succès les a pris par surprise « .
Yoeli explique que l’objectif initial de l’engin est à des fins militaires, en disant: «Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la plupart des catastrophes et le combat a eu lieu sur un terrain difficile, avec des hélicoptères souvent incapables d’atterrir « 
Comme une hélicoptère, AirMule décolle et atterrit verticalement, sans les pales du rotor,car ils sont déjà  intégrés. La voiture volante fait trois mètres de long  est fait  un cinquième de la taille d’un hélicoptère moyenne, ce qui facilite l’entrée dans les petits espaces.
AirMule, qui coûtera 2,5 M $ par véhicule a terminé avec succès une étape importante prévues pour l’année prochaine : La voiture volante a effectué plusieurs vols d’essai entièrement automatiques dans lesquelles elle a exercé les décollages, des vols à partir d’un emplacement spécifié et l’atterrissage  à son point de départ. Des eessais supplémentaires sont prévus pour l’année prochaine avec un deuxième prototype, actuellement en construction, prévu pour rejoindre le programme d’essais en vol dans la seconde moitié de 2014.



AirMule volera avec un carburant d’aviation et sera navigué d’une salle d’opération centrale. Avec l’aide de caméras vidéo, et un endroit choisi par le destinataire, Air Mule pourra avec succès atteindre sa destination. L’engin a une distance de vol de 100 kilomètres ou une heure, avec une vitesse maximale de 100 noeuds et la capacité de transporter 500 kilos de fret.
L’engin pourrait servir d’ambulance volante, apportant les blessés lors de bataille, ou livrer de la marchandise. Il pourrait également être utilisé pour éteindre les incendies avec une capacité de transport de 1000 litres d’eau.
Yoeli décrit également AirMule comme un extincteur d’incendie  pour  les bâtiments élevés, car ses rotors exposés signifie qu’il peut planer à l’extérieur d’un gratte-ciel et répandre de la mousse à l’intérieur.
UrbanAero dit qu’il compte vendre sa première voiture volante dans les cinq ans, mais actuellement, il reste dans l’étape de la production.

IAI to reveal new-look Heron UAV at Singapore air show


The Malat division of Israel Aerospace Industries will display a modified Heron unmanned air system at the Singapore air show in February. The modifications are mainly on the airframe, to enable the use of a heavy fuel engine.
According to one source, the modified fuselage will have "rounded curves" to allow for the installation of the powerplant. Malat late last year conducted a series of test flights with the new engine, which is in demand from current users as heavy fuel is less combustible and increases commonality with ground vehicles.
IAI's modified Heron will also be displayed at the Singapore show with two computers. One of these controls the vehicle's flight, while the other controls the mission package. This separation is based on accumulated experience, which shows that UAS payload operators prefer to use a dedicated computer.
The Republic of Singapore air force in 2012 placed the medium-altitude, long-endurance Heron 1 into its inventory (below), with the type delivered to its 119 Sqn.

SINGAPORE: IAI to unveil Super Heron HF

Israel Aerospace Industries will formally unveil the latest version of its Heron unmanned air vehicle at the Singapore air show on 11 February. Named the Super Heron HF, this differs from earlier examples of the medium-altitude, long-endurance type through the integration of a heavy-fuel engine.

The engine enhancement, which has required the company to slightly redesign the aircraft’s rear fuselage, has been made to meet demand from operators to reduce their reliance on using traditional aviation gasoline to power UAVs. The new version is also equipped with winglets to boost performance.

IAI is showcasing the Super Heron HF in a multi-role configuration, including its MOSP 3000 electro-optical/infrared sensor and an Elta Systems ELM-2055 synthetic aperture radar/ground moving target indication payload. Other equipment include communications and electronic intelligence sensors and a satellite communications fit.

First flight trials of an aircraft in the new configuration were performed in Israel late last year. Earlier versions of the Heron have been sold to multiple nations, including Singapore, which has one of its air force-operated examples on static display.

Defense Ministry nixes UAV sale to Poland



Rivalry between Elbit Systems and IAI led to diplomatic embarrassment.

Ministry of Defense director general Dan Harel has withdrawn the export licenses to Poland for two large Israeli defense companies - Elbit Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq: ESLT; TASE: ESLT) and Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1). Following the extraordinary decision, the two companies are banned from operating in Poland and selling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) there.

The decision was taken because of a quarrel between the companies in the affair of UAV exports to the Polish Army, which resulted in the resignation of Poland's Deputy Minister of Defense General Waldemar Skrzypczak two months ago. He was forced to resign for internal reasons, but the competition between Elbit Systems and IAI for the sale of UAV's to the Polish Army, which got out of control, was a contributing factor. A high point in the competition occurred when IAI questioned Skrzypczak's preference for Elbit Systems' Hermes 450 UAV. Skrzypczak allegedly sought to promote the procurement of the Hermes UAV through an initial $50 million order. Complaints by IAI and other correspondence reached the Polish media, causing a storm that shook Poland's defense establishment.

Now, neither IAI nor Elbit Systems may sell UAVs and peripheral systems in Poland until further notice. This is happening when the Polish Army is undertaking an extensive procurement plan, which could have been good business for the Israeli companies.

"This is a sad story," a defense source familiar with the affair told "Globes". "Both companies invested a lot effort in the Polish deal, and it has now gone to waste."

The source blamed IAI's management for the affair. "Even in bitter competition between companies there are rules. Every tender comes to an end in which one company wins and the other loses. The role of the loser is to accept the customer's decision and leave the field, but IAI decided not to let it alone. This is not how to lose."

Ministry of Defense sources told "Globes" that the affair in Poland forced top ministry officials to take what is seen as extraordinary and radical action against the two companies, knowing that this is liable to harm competition and the companies' businesses. "This out-of-control competition continued to the point of fear of real damage to relations between Israel and Poland. After many consultations on the matter, the Ministry of Defense director general decided to exercise his authority and cancel the export licenses. The Ministry of Defense's job is not only to protect defense interests and the interests of defense companies, but also Israel's diplomatic interests," said a source.

The Ministry of Defense told "Globes" today, "The Ministry of Defense does not comment on internal correspondence between us and the heads of defense companies."

Elbit Systems' spokeswoman confirmed the report, saying. "The company acted legally, and on the basis of the export permits given it by the Ministry of Defense. The company respects the decision and abides by it."

IAI said in response, "IAI confirms the report, and states that the company is bound by the Ministry of Defense's decision on this matter."

Lahat missile passes complex firing trial


Israel Aerospace Industries has completed a series of helicopter-based firing demonstrations with its Lahat missile.
Comprising eight launches carried out at ranges of up to 5.4nm (10km), and altitudes between 300ft (91m) and 6,000ft, the activity involved both moving and hovering aircraft. The firings were performed against fixed and moving targets.
IAI says operational firing scenarios were employed, for example during a direct hit scored from 5.4nm that used the helicopter's observation capability and laser designation from ground personnel.
A lightweight weapon available with a variety of warheads, Lahat can be carried by the majority of helicopters, and can also be launched from the ground or naval vessels.
The Lahat system consists of an IAI-developed observation payload with laser designation capabilities, a weapon control system and two four-pack missile launchers.

Rafael présente un canon laser anti-drones

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems a dévoilé son système de faisceau laser à haute énergie (HEL) conçu pour abattre les roquettes de mortiers et les véhicules aériens sans pilote sur une courte portée.



Baptisé Iron Beam (« faisceau de fer »), ce système de défense sol-air a été dévoilé au salon aéronautique de Singapour le 11 février. Il utilise deux lasers multi-kilowatt à l’état solide pour détruire les projectiles sur une distance d’environ 2 km, selon un responsable de Rafael.
« Cette batterie laser mobile est constituée d’un radar de défense aérienne, d’une unité de commandement et de contrôle (C2), et de deux systèmes HEL », explique Senderovits Ezra, directeur général adjoint du marketing et du développement commercial chez Rafael.
L’image d’artiste fournie par Rafael (ci-dessus) montre la batterie installée sur un camion avec ses différents composants logés dans des conteneurs ISO, bien que la configuration réelle dépendra des besoins du client.
« Il s’agit pour l’instant d’un système monté sur un camion comme un banc d’essai, mais il pourrait tout aussi bien être monté sur un véhicule blindé ou sur une autre plateforme », ajoute Mr Ezra.
Dès que le radar de la batterie laser détecte un projectile, une caméra thermique prend le relai et le suit jusqu’à ce qu’il soit engagé simultanément par les deux HEL. Le système utilise deux lasers pour fournir la puissance nécessaire afin de surmonter les perturbations atmosphériques et physiquement détruire la cible. La focalisation des deux faisceaux couvre une zone « de la taille d’une pièce de monnaie », a précisé Mr Ezra.
Rafale a refusé de donner les niveaux de puissance spécifiques pour les HEL, se contenant de dire qu’ils travaillent actuellement sur « des dizaines de kilowatts », mais prévoient des « centaines de kilowatts » à l’avenir. A noter que Rafael ne produit pas les lasers mais s’approvisionne auprès de plusieurs fournisseurs anonymes.
Le Iron Beam est encore un programme en développement. « Nous sommes actuellement concentrés sur la compréhension de la technologie, et ce n’est que le début d’une très longue route », a déclaré Mr Ezra, ajoutant : « Nous attendons des lasers plus puissants, mais l’investissement du gouvernement [israélien] est limitée à l’heure actuelle ».
Mr Ezra a également déclaré que les essais réalisés à ce jour ont rencontré « un très bon taux de réussite », avec près de 100 tirs effectués.
Selon Mr Ezra, le Iron Beam présente un certain nombre d’avantages par rapport aux systèmes à base de missiles plus classiques. « Les systèmes de défense de missiles sont extrêmement coûteux », dit-il. « Mais avec Iron Beam, chaque tir ne coûte presque rien, et il n’y a pas de réelles limites sur le nombre de tirs. » Il a également noté que, contrairement aux systèmes à base de missiles, le Iron Beam ne peut pas manquer sa cible et provoquer des dommages collatéraux.
Le système Iron Beam étant encore en développement, on ignore s’il pourra s’intégrer dans le système de défense antimissile à plusieurs niveaux d’Israël qui comprend Iron Dome, Sling de David, et Arrow 3. Mr Ezra a expliqué que cette décision appartient au gouvernement mais qu’il pourrait être déployé en tant que système autonome pour protéger des biens de grande valeur.
Le Iron Beam étant un système défensif, Mr Ezra prévoit son exportation pour un certain nombre de clients potentiels. « Il y a certainement un marché, et ce marché est en pleine croissance . Le nombre de menaces augmente, et toutes ne peuvent pas être traitées par des missiles. », a t-il conclue.
Note : Les États-Unis développent également le système laser anti-drones et anti-obus de mortiers HELMD (High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator) d’une puissance de dix Kilowatts.
