Mission & Combat System
  • About Us
  • Product
Mission and Combat Systems Research and Design Centre (MCSRDC) was set up in November 2008 for design and development of mission and combat systems for Aircraft and Helicopters
Mission and Combat Systems Research and Design Centre (MCSRDC)
MCSRDC develops avionics systems from concept to final product and certification for aircraft and helicopter applications. Design of avionics systems architecture, system software & hardware development, installation integration and testing for aircraft and helicopters are its strengths.The R & D Centre holds design approval from CEMILAC, AFQMS approval from DGAQA and AS 9100D.
Capabilities:
  •  Avionics Upgrade of Existing Fleet
  •  Integration of STORES/WEAPONS
  •  Integrated Avionics Suite solutions for Fixed & Rotary wing platforms
  •  Mission System Hardware & Software Design & Development
  •  Design, Development & Upgrade of Full Mission Simulators

Jaguar DARIN II

Jaguar DARIN II
Upgrade of Jaguar aircraft for enhanced mission and operational capabilities with advanced navigation, EW and attack features, close combat capability, helmet display for reduced pilot effort and precision weapon deliveries through integration of contemporary avionics systems. 

Jaguar DARIN III

Jaguar DARIN III
Upgrade with Fire Control Radar and near Glass Cockpit, AESA radar mission effectiveness, SDR for net centric capability and situation awareness and EFIS integrated with indigenous Open System Architecture Mission Computer for mission & operational capability, lethality and survivability.

Mirage 2000 aircraft

Mirage 2000 aircraft
Avionics upgrade to augment mission and combat capabilities through integration of contemporary avionics systems viz., HMDS, ACMI, LDP, CMDS, Advance Weapons around an indigenous Mission computer. 

Hawk Mk-132

Hawk-i aircraft
A technology demonstrator project to integrate contemporary systems viz. Indigenous mission computer with embedded virtual training system, softnet radio and cockpit human machine interface and integration of new weapons for operational capabilities, modern training needs, technological improvement and growth potential aspects, in addition to obsolescence management.
 

Integrated Avionics Display Suite (IADS)

Integrated Avionics Display Suite (IADS)
IADS is an integrated mission control and display system, interfaced with various navigation and mission sensors, communication systems and airframe sensors on the Light Combat helicopter. 

Automatic Flight Control System

Automatic Flight Control System
AFCS is a digital control sub-system of the Control System to enhance the stability characteristics, control and handling qualities of the Helicopters. AFCS will provide Stability augmentation, Control augmentation, Auto trim 
facilities, inter-axis decoupling and various Auto pilot modes in all 4-axes (pitch, roll, collective and yaw). In-house design and development of AFCS for LCH is currently undergoing integration testing on the helicopter. Design & Development of Indigenous AFCS for ALH Mk-III is undergoing.

Mission Management System (MMS)

MMSMission Computer is the core of Integrated Avionics System of any modern day Aircraft or Helicopter platform. It integrates on board sub-systems covering Sensors, Displays, Controls, Communications, Recording and 
Weapon Systems. Mission Computer acquires sensor data and pilot inputs. It processes the received data to provide navigation and weapon aiming details to the pilot on display surfaces such as Head up Display (HUD) and Multi-Function Displays (MFDs). To perform the above task these Mission Computer deploys Open System Architecture with multiple processing modules interfaced through high speed back planes and has the capability 
of high speed processing, graphics generation etc. The Mission Computer designed and developed by MCSRDC are modular in design and flexible and easy to adapt in various platform. :

Software

A range of system, software and algorithms for MMI, navigation and weapon guidance with Sensor Data Fusion, Digital Map Generation, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning, On-board Virtual Training System, Simulator 
System etc. have been developed by the Centre. An ARINC 653 compliant indigenous Real Time Operating System for use in Avionics sub-systems is another achievement. 

Simulators

Simulators
The division has competence in design, development and upgrade of variety of Flight simulators. The Centre has upgraded Air Combat Simulator as well as designed, developed & commissioned Avionics Mission Training simulators at different IAF Stations. 
Fixed Base Full Mission Simulator for Jaguar DARIN-III

FBFMS will have the capability to train the pilots from Aircraft start up, taxying, take off, navigation, mission functions including weapon releases, approach and landing in normal and emergency conditions, Instrument Flying procedures, operation of mission systems and sensors, flying in adverse weather & visibility conditions. Design and Development of FBFMS for Jaguar DARIN-III aircraft is currently undergoing. 

Full Motion Full Flight Simulator for LUH 

The FMFMS shall replicate the behavior of the LUH helicopter throughout its flight envelope to meet the training needs of the helicopter pilots. It shall replicate motion, visual & aural cueing to provide the feel of the flight 
environment, a cockpit with all displays, controls & panels as in the helicopter and provide training in all weather, visibility, day & night conditions. Design and Development of FMFMS for LUH Helicopter is currently undergoing.
