GM-24 Caballero



The GM-24 Caballero is a fifth generation multirole fighter aircraft incorporating technolgies such as thrust vectoring and stealth capabilities. The prototype GM-24 first flew in 2004, and the GM-24 entered production in late 2009, currently serving only with the defence forces of Mikoyan-Guryevich. The GM-24 is designed primarily to ful-fill the air superiority role, but is also capable of performing ground attack/strike missions. Gemballa Avionic Development is the main contract partner and is responsible for the airframe, avionics and engines. The GM-24 seeks to make a compelling blend of stealth, speed, ordnance and agility, essential for the GM-24 to survive to and from its target and paramount for acheiving the mission goal with the demise of the target. The GM-24 is not designed to help little old ladies cross the street, nor is it designed to distribute aid to disaster prone areas. The GM-24 is a highly accomplished killing machine, capable of wiping out batteries of enemy armour or squadrons of enemy aircraft.

Origins

The GM-24 was designed to replace the aging IAI Kfir's in service with the Mikoyan-Guryevich Airforce. The Kfirs were often considered ahead of their time, with their outstanding performance and deadly lethality. By 1990, the edge was lost and for the first time in a long time, Mikoyan-Guryevich found herself with a fighter that could no longer rely on superior technology to emerge victorious. This was proven in the 1995 Vitaphone Emergency, where rebel groups managed to shoot down six Kfir's using new Surface-to-Air missiles. A new fighter was desperately needed as the Kfirs were now hopelessly outclassed. For the new fighter to not be ahead of the pack in terms of performance and technology, it would mean a retrograde step from the Kfir, thus creating the same problems experienced ten years ago in ten years time. In 2001, The Gemballa entry for the new fighter program was accepted and funded by the MiG Government. The concept aircraft was designated MiGM-24 and first took to the skies in 2004, performing a successful test flight. The GM-24 entered production in early 2009, and as of June 2010, nearly 400 GM-24's have been delivered to the Mikoyan-Guryevich Airforce.

Avionics

The avionic suite of the GM-24 is almost certainly typical of any late generation air superiority fighter however it allows the GM-24 to undertake not only air-to-air combat missions but also high-intensity strike missions including deep penetration.

The GM-24's avionics include Cervelo SS-16 radar warning receiver/emissions locator system, Cervelo SB-77 Infra-Red and Ultra-Violet MAWS (Missile Approach Warning System) and the Cervelo DD-20X Active Scan radar. The DD-20X features both long-range target acquisition and low risk of interception of its own signals by enemy aircraft due to its complex set up and frequent channel changing.

The Radar used in the GM-24 is the Cervelo DD-20X Active Scan radar. The 20X is an uprated version of the 18X, being more powerful, less obvious to enemy aircraft and predictably more expensive. The 20X is an active electronically scanned array with the capability to track and engage multiple targets at any one time.

The Cervelo DD-20X Active Scan radar is designed for air superiority and strike operations and features a low-observable, active-aperture, electronically-scanned array that can track multiple targets in any weather, including storms. The Cervelo DD-20X Active Scan changes electromagnetic frequencies at more than 1,000 times per second to greatly reduce the chance of being intercepted by an enemy aircraft. If the GM-24 is spotted, it can then focus its radar emissions on an enemy aircraft, to overload enemy sensors and thus jamming the enemy radar. The DD-20X was designed with the Low Probability of Intecept theorem as paramount with a strong emphasis on the lowest possible observability to other aircraft. Unlke many other radar systems, the DD series of radar has very few moving parts and is much less likely to malfunction in the air than other radar systems employed by other aircraft.

An AESA or Active Electronically Scanned Array radar system represents the forefront of modern radar technology. These radars are deceptively hard to intercept because an AESA radar will change it's frequency every pulse, at up to 1000 times per second. Since the AESA can change its frequency with every pulse, and generally does so using a pseudo-random sequence, integrating over time does not help pull the signal out of the background noise. Nor does the AESA have any sort of fixed pulse repetition frequency, which can also be varied and thus hide any periodic brightening across the entire spectrum. Traditional Radar Warning Receivers are essentially useless against AESA radars. This means that the GM-24 can look for long periods of time without being seen in the process. This radar fitted to the GM-24 employs a very erratic search pattern made possible by the enourmous computing power at the disposal of the crew, further adding confusion to the Radar Warning Receiver at the other end.

Jamming is likewise much more difficult against an AESA. Traditionally, jammers have operated by determining the operating frequency of the radar and then broadcasting a signal on it to confuse the receiver as to which is the "real" pulse and which is the jammer's. This technique works as long as the radar system cannot easily change its operating frequency. When the transmitters were based on klystron tubes this was generally true, and radars, especially airborne ones, had only a few frequencies to chose among. A jammer could listen to those possible frequencies and select the one being used to jam.

Since an AESA changes its operating frequency with every pulse, and spreads the frequencies across a wide band even in a single pulse, jammers are much less effective. Although it is possible to send out broadband white noise against all the possible frequencies, this means the amount of energy being sent at any one frequency is much lower, reducing its effectiveness. Moreover, AESAs can be switched to a receive-only mode, and use the jamming signals as a powerful source to track its source, something that required a separate receiver in older platforms.

AESAs are so much more difficult to detect, and so much more useful in receiving signals from the targets, that they can broadcast continually and still have a very low chance of being detected. This allows the radar system to generate far more data than if it is being used only periodically, greatly improving overall system effectiveness.

The radar utilises a separate transmitter and receiver module for each of the antenna's radiating elements. Making up the array of the AESA radar are over 2000 10cm long individual transmit and receiver modules. Each tiny TRM weighs in at just 50 grams, yet still contains a power output of six watts apiece, a relatively high amount. To remove the high amounts of heat generated by the AESA, the array is liquid cooled and mounted in a light weight polymer for support.

Rather than using the GM-25's pricey and difficult to acquire Gallium Nitride modules, the GM-24 uses doubly insulated Gallium Arsenide circuitry inside each TRM. The extra insulation allows each module to withstand higher temperature exteremes and thus allows the maximum rated voltage of each module to be increased by a small amount. The GM-24 uses a much smaller amount of modules than the GM-24 to help with simplicity and reliability however still features a much more powerful radar array than almost any other aircraft available today.

This information gathered by the Radar Warning Receiver, Missile Approach Warning Receiver and the Active Scan radar itself is processed by two Indeon Common Integrated Processors (CIP). Each CIP can process 12 billion instructions per second and has one gigabyte of memory, allowing it to store a wealth of information and making the system nearly impossible to overload. Information can be gathered from the radar and other onboard and offboard systems, where it is then filtered by the CIP which will effectively 'gist' the meanings of the signals onto several cockpit displays, enabling the pilot to remain on top of complicated situations by having all the information simply presented onto the data displays in the ergonomic cockpit.

The GM-24 like the GM-25 also features the Cervelo S5 Terrain following radar. The system works by transmitting a radar signal towards the ground area in front of the aircraft. The radar returns can then be analysed to see how the terrain ahead varies, which can then be used by the aircraft's autopilot to maintain a reasonably constant height above the earth. This technology enables flight at very low altitudes, and high speeds, avoiding detection by enemy radars and interception by anti-aircraft systems. This allows the pilot to focus on other aspects of the flight besides the extremely intensive task of low flying itself.

Adding to the powerful Avionics array is the Battlespace Network function which allows the GM-24 to connect to and share information gathered from other aircraft in the area. The Battlespace Network is essentially a secure satellite connection for which data, in simplified form, is transmitted between two or more aircraft and is theoretically capable of linking the entire airforce of a nation.

The SS-16 is a passive receiver system capable of detecting the radar signals in the environment. It is composed of 30 antennas smoothly blended into the wings and fuselage that provide all around coverage plus azimuth and elevation information in the forward sector. With significantly greater range than the radar, it enables the GM-24 to limit its own radar emission to preserve its stealth. As a target approaches, the receiver can set the SS-16 radar to track the target with a very narrow radar wave, which can be as focused as precisely to 1° by 1° in azimuth and elevation.

Cockpit



The cockpit was designed from the outset to be a fully glass cockpit wihtout any tradtional analouge instruments. This presents the challenge of the chance of engine failure in which all the cockpit instruments fail as well. Two small inlets in the fuselage are automatically opened during engine failure, which suck in air to spin two generators, which provide enough power to keep the cockpit operational.

The leading features of the GM-24 cockpit include simple and rapid start-up allowing scrambles possible, highly developed Human Machine Interface, lightweight helmet designed from automotive racing helmets incorporating carbonfibre and kevlar, large anthropometric accommodation and highly integrated threat warning system as previously discussed. Other main features include the large single-piece canopy, side stick and improved life support systems over fourth generation fighters

The GM-24 also features a capability for NightVision systems, allowing the pilot to leave NVS goggles at home. Infra-red sensors in the front of the aircraft project a 360 degree night vision image around the cockpit, simulating a normal cockpit with the world illuminated albeit, from a lower view angle due to the sensors being mounted below the cockpit canopy.

Armament

The Caballero has two internal weapons bays mounted side by side in the underside of the fuselage which can carry three long range missiles, six medium range missiles or twelve short range missile in each two bays. The missile racks can be replaced with bomb racks that can permit carrying four medium bombs or sixteen small diameter bombs in each bay or a combination of both. Carrying missiles and bombs internally enhances its stealth capability and returns lower drag due to the absense of underwing armament permitting higher speeds, both maximum and cruise, and a much longer range due to less fuel being required. Launching ordnance requires opening the weapons bay doors for less than a second. The ordnance is pushed clear of the airframe by hydraulic arms where they then fire at the target. This reduces the GM-24's chance of detection by enemy radar systems due to launched ordnance and also allows the GM-24's to launch missiles and ordnance while maintaining very high speeds. The aircraft can also designate targets to laser guided bombs giving it an excellent capability as a strike aircraft.The GM-24 also carries one ZZ-II Vulcan 30 mm gatling gun type cannon in the nose. The ZZ-II' can carry 500 rounds, which is enough for roughly seven seconds of constant fire. The ZZ-II is designed for small targets where firing a missile would be unefficient or as a weapon of last resort. The opening for the cannon's firing barrel is covered by a trapdoor when not in use to maintain stealth and reduce drag.

The GM-24 can be adapted for a range of missiles including high energy long range missiles. Standard missiles that are sold with the GM-24 are the AIM-9 Sidewinder short range missile, the AIM-120D medium range missile and the MBDA Meteor long range missile. The GM-24 can carry a variety of laser guided bombs as well as standard munitions.

The wings include four hardpoints, each rated to handle 2,500 kg. Each hardpoint has a pylon that can carry a detachable drop fuel tank or a rail launcher that holds two air-air missiles. However, use of external stores compromises stealth and has a detrimental effect on maneuverability, speed, and range (unless external fuel is carried). The two inner hardpoints are set up to carry extra fuel tanks. These hardpoints allow the mounting pylons to be jettisoned in flight so the fighter can regain its stealth after exhausting external stores. The GM-24 also features the SmartPod laser guiding system. The Pod is effectively a guider for laser guided bombs which deploys when a missile or bomb is fired, guides the missile or bomb to its target and then retracts when not being used, minimising drag and increasing stealth capabilities even further.

Defensive Systems

The GM-24 also employs a DAS. A defensive aids system (DAS) is a military aircraft system which defends it from attack by surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles and guided anti-aircraft artillery. A DAS typically comprises chaff, flares, and electronic countermeasures combined with radar warning receivers to detect threats. On the GM-24, the entire system is integrated and computer-controlled, allowing an aircraft to autonomously detect, classify and act in an optimal manner against a potential threat to its safety.

Thrust & Thrust Vectoring



Thrust is provided by two Azzuri TR-GT400LE turbofans with afterburning. The Azzuri company is best known for its work on civillian airliners with transport giant Los Rios, producing turbo fan engines for large subsonic airliners.

The ability of the airframe to withstand the stress and heat is a further key factor, especially in an aircraft using as many polymers as the GM-24. However, while many aircraft are faster on paper, the internal carriage of its standard combat load allows the aircraft to reach comparatively higher performance with a heavy load over other modern aircraft due to its lack of drag from external stores. It is one of only a handful of aircraft that can sustain supersonic flight without the use of afterburner augmented thrust and its associated high fuel consumption. This ability is termed supercruise. This allows the aircraft to hit time-critical, fleeting or mobile targets that a subsonic aircraft would not have the speed to reach and an afterburner dependent aircraft would not have the fuel to reach.

The turbofans of the GM-24 are constructed from a blend of materials which are used in tandem as well as in isolation from one another. A Turbine engine produces exhaust and internal temperatures far beyond that of a piston engine therefore new materials had to be developed in order to resist these temperatures. Composite materials were selected on the premise that they not only had the heat resistance to withstand temperatures at which steel would bend, but they are also much lighter than metals and would improve the power to weight ratio of the engine itself.

Components of the turbofan aft of the compressor fans, including the internal turbines of the turbofan as well as the turbine shaft, are constructed out of a composite ceramic material to resist against the extreme temperatures of the propulsion system. A ceramic is an inorganic, non-metallic solid prepared by the action of heat and subsequent cooling, this results in a crystalline substance. The ceramic material used within the turbine is silicon carbide, or a carbon ceramic material. Silicon Carbide is exceedingly hard, synthetically produced crystalline compound of silicon and carbon. The modern method of manufacturing silicon carbide for the abrasives, metallurgical, and refractories industries is basically the same as that developed by Acheson. A mixture of pure silica sand and carbon in the form of finely ground coke is built up around a carbon conductor within a brick electrical resistance-type furnace. Electric current is passed through the conductor, bringing about a chemical reaction in which the carbon in the coke and silicon in the sand combine to form SiC and carbon monoxide gas. A furnace run can last several days, during which temperatures vary from 2,200° to 2,700° C (4,000° to 4,900° F) in the core to about 1,400° C (2,500° F) at the outer edge. The energy consumption exceeds 100,000 kilowatt-hours per run. At the completion of the run, the product consists of a core of green to black SiC crystals loosely knitted together, surrounded by partially or entirely unconverted raw material. The lump aggregate is crushed, ground, and screened into various sizes appropriate to the end use.

Components of the turbine fore of the compression chamber and also components outside of the turbine itself are constructed from Aermet. Aermet is an ultra-high strength type of alloy steel where the main alloying elements are cobalt and nickel, but chromium, molybdenum, and carbon are also added. Aermet 100 was selected over Aermet 310 and Aermet 340 because of the greater fracture toughness that the 100 variant offers over Aermet 310 and Aermet 340, fracture resistance being paramount on the blades of the pair of compressor fans.

Both turbofans feature 3D Thrust vectoring technology, allowing the GM-24 to fly in a different direction to where the nose is pointing. The nozzles can be pointed 20 degrees in either direction on the y axis, and 5 degrees in either direction on the x axis, further boosting agility. Variable altitude engine intakes are featured on both engines reducing the risk of compressor stall. A compressor stall is a situation of abnormal airflow resulting from a stall of the fan blades within the compressor of a jet engine. Compressor stalls result in a loss of compressor performance, which can vary in severity from a momentary engine power drop (occurring so quickly it is barely registered on engine instruments) to a complete loss of compression (compressor surge) necessitating a reduction in the fuel flow to the engine.

Both engines are rated at 41,000lbf per engine, resulting in a phenomenally high maximum speed of 2850km/h at altitude or well above Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound). The GM-24 can supercruise at Mach 2 (2100km/h).

Airframe

The GM-24 was designed to be as 'slippery' as possible by effectively removing all drag inducing external features and mounting them inside the airframe, further enhancing its stealth and performance. Many features such as radar antennae can be blended in to the fuselage to avoid creating any perpendicular surfaces which attract radar attention and also do not produce any vortecies or turbulence which can improve the stability of the GM-24 when travelling at high speeds. As mentoned before, ordnance required for generic missions, for example standard short to medium range interceptions or Combat Air Patrol, can be carried internally in the two weapons bays, negating the need to mount weapons, fuel or other objects on the wings or the fuselage.

To keep the weight of the fuselage to the bare minimum, large swaths of the fuselage which were originally intended to be made with aluminium were replaced with composite materials. Composite construction is a generic term to describe any building construction involving multiple dissimilar materials, in this case carbon-fibre reinforced polymers are used. CFRPs are comprised of a polymer, in this case epoxy, which is a thermosetting polymer formed from reaction of an epoxide "resin" with polyamine "hardener", is re-inforced with fibres of carbon which give the material it's strength. CFRPs have an extremely high strength to weight ratio which makes them ideal for use on aircraft. The downside of CFRP's is that they can be extremely expensive to replace and require much more mantinence than more typical aircraft materials such as aluminium would. Thus, CFRPs have been used on the fuselage section which is above the bottom third of the fuselage and aft of the cabin. The section of the fuselage which is constructed from CFRP's is cast as two different panels which join an aluminium seam running across the top of the fuselage.

The remainder of the fuselage, the wings and the tail control surfaces are all constructed from Al-Li or Aluminium-Lithium alloy. Lithium is the least dense elemental metal, much less dense than alumiunium which is in itself less dense than most other metals, therefore when the two are alloyed together, the density and weight of the resulting material is less than that of the alloy while being stiffer at the same time and more resisitant to strain. Because the nose of the fuselage and the underside of the fuselage are the areas most sucseptible to damage, Al-Li alloy was used on these areas to offer a cheaper option of replacement than the expensive CFRP's. Because of it's stiffness, Al-Li alloy was also used on the wings which are acted upon by not only horizontal but also vertical forces unlike the fuselage and thus need to have the compressive and tensile strength required to outlast these forces, as well as resist the immensse shearing forces which are also experienced at high speeds.

The trapezoidal or diamond wing is a high-performance wing configuration. It is a short (low aspect ratio) tapered wing having little or no overall sweep, such that the leading edge sweeps back and the trailing edge sweeps forwards. The trapezoidal design allows for a thin wing with low drag at high speeds, while maintaining high strength and stiffness. Not only does this give a wing for the GM-24 Caballero that offers impressive maneuvrability, but a wing that is capable of carrying heavy loads on pylons beneath it. The trapezoidal wing, when designed for less wing loading than when first coined in the late 1950's, is also a wing that provides excellent all-round speed further complementing the GM-24's supercruise characteristics.

The very sweep nature of the wing means that as the air passes over the wing, it at first flows outwards until it passes the zenith of the aerfoil where it begins to flow back towards the fuselage. This is so when the wing stalls, the loss of lift will occur in the centre of the wing, allowing enough air to pass over the ailerons for them to be of use without the complications which a forward swept wing provides.

To prevent the spillage of air from underneath the wing, the outward edges of the cropped wing are cantered downwards in an anhedral effect which reduces the dihedral effect of the wing, making the GM-24 a less stable and more agile platform. This feature requires the computing power of the Cabellero's extensive data systems to keep it in check however.

Landing gear struts are made from Aermet 100, which is a light but very durable steel and well accustomed to high compressive stress. Tyres used on the two main landing gear struts are four small high pressure .75 metre diameter tyres which lie in flat fairings along either side of the fuselage. The two nose tyres are smaller 0.5 metre diameter tyres and are inflated to a slightly higher pressure. In standard configuration, the GM-24 is not suitable for carrier landing however a strengthended landing gear and arrestor hook can be fitted. The strengthened landing gear comprises of slightly thicker struts, an increase of 50mm in radius, and a large oleo strut which has more spring travel to allow for rougher landings.

The GM-24's stealth is reliant on radar absorbing paint and its low observance throughout the entire spectrum of sensors including radar signature, visual, infrared, acoustic, and radio frequency. This allows it to cover all angles, unlike the F-117 who focuses on the former and F-22 which conversely focuses on the latter. The materials used on the GM-24 are significantly more durable than those used on aircraft such as the B-2 and F-117, as the RM-30 can be kept out on the flightline instead of in climate controlled hangers, which the B-2 and F-117 require to remain effective.
