Small Size Target Flare Bomb with Electrical Initiating Device
Design and Development of small Size target flare bomb with electrical Initiating Device to Simulate Air targets with prominent radar and thermal signatures. After 9 ± 1 second release from aircraft, the bursting charge ignites the main flare and initiates parachute system for controlled descent of burning flares. The main parachute system consists of radar reflectors and high intensity luminous flare provide thermal signatures.
Essential parameters
1. Small Size Target Flare Bomb with Electrical Initiating Device akin to Russian M6T.
2. Length (without Target Opening Device (TOD)), (maximum): 1065 mm.
3. Diameter (Max): 280 mm.
4. Weight: Should be less than 250 kg.
5. Flare Burning Time: Not less than 420 sec.
6. Luminous intensity : Not less than One Million Candelas (MCD).
7. Radar Reflector: Radar reflector is to be provided along with the parachute mechanism for reflecting radar signals.
8. Target Opening Device (TOD)/ fuze delay time: 9 ± 1 seconds.
9. Aircraft Compatibility: To be compatible with any fighter aircraft in IAF.
10. Life: At least 10 yrs.
11. Storage conditions: Temperature between - 40°C to + 60°C and RH below 95%.
Stage wise weapon safeties for various phases like preparation, testing, carriage on aircraft launch initiation and safe separation to be ensured.
