The Dymuh (Talon), Pronounced: "DEaemoo-ha", is a vertical takeoff and landing aerocraft that supports a tilt-engine design in similarity to that of the tilt-rotor concepts. The Dymuh is Haruspex International Armaments next-generation replacement for several of it's helicopter gunship models. The development of a light attack VTOL was authorized in the early part of the Twenty-Ten. Primary role was to act in the role formerly filled by attack helicopters but had to have the ability for the design to be able to act as an attack aircraft.
The Dymuh was first seen by the Occidental nations in late 2013 when it was deployed on the Keorin, a Cay Kut class amphibious multi-role assault ship. Even though it filled the role more of an attack helicopter, it was given a fighter style codename and was called the Dymuh.
The most important feature of the design is its small size. Due to being designed for the Krokodil class amphibious assault carriers, it is designed to be as small as possible and has folding wings to further reduce deck area. Because of this, the armor is lighter than in most other attack VTOL designs. The armor is still far more extensive than in refitted attack helicopters and can take about twice as much abuse as the old helicopters. The lift engines are mounted in the base of the wings and the aircraft mounts two forward thrust engines in the main fuselage of the attack craft's fuselage.
Top speed is over twice that of conventional helicopters and has been recorded at speeds up to 550 knots. The Dymuh TE-01B is quite maneuverable and is capable of a host of incredible maneuvers. Flight controls are a quadruple redundant fly by wire system which the cables are also protected under armored sheathing. The two person cockpit is well armored and includes ejection seats for both the pilot and the gunner and the whole cockpit is designed to be crash survivable.
The main weapon of the attack VTOL is a 20 mm autocannon in a nose mounted turret. The turret is designed for sixty degree side to side rotation and forty-five degree up and down movement. On the hard points near the cockpit are permanent large capacity mini-missile pods. The aircraft carries four additional wing hard points on the outer wings outside of the lift engines. These hardpoints can carry bombs, missiles, additional mini-missile pods, or even additional guns. Unlike the nose mounted gun, these guns are fixed forward. For additional protection, the Dymuh is equipped with chaff and flare dispensers. The weaponry on the attack aircraft make it ideally suited to attack troops, protective bunkers, and armored vehicles. To a lesser extent, it is capable of engaging air targets as well.
The onboard inertial navigation system (INS) is fully integrated with GPS/GLONASS system, and can utilize a variety of satellite navigation to improve its accuracy, the integrated GPS corrected INS is the only system that has been shown to the public at Runic Airshows and other defense exhibitions. Information is shared via secured data-link that provide real time and near real time information.
The electronic warfare (EW) system of the Dymuh integrates the radar, radar warning receivers (RWR), laser warning receivers (LWR), electronic support measures (ESM) and electronic counter-measures (ECM) together. The system is designated TR-16. TR-16 is claimed to have a high interception rate of hostile signals, and in the fully automatic mode, it can automatically analyze the threat and launch different decoys and jamming signals accordingly. Alternatively, pilots can choose to launch decoys or jamming enemy sensors themselves.
A self protection jamming pod can also be carried, usually on one of the hard points of the stub wings. Similarly, a reconnaissance pod can be carried for reconnaissance missions, although all of these additions come at the cost of reducing the number of hardpoints available for carrying weaponry. Usually, only one of such pod is carried at any one time. The identification friend or foe (IFF) system of the Dymuh is specially designed to work in an environment of heavy enemy jamming. All internally mounted jamming and decoy launching systems are built with the concept of modular design, so that they can be readily replaced when newer technologies become available.
The helmet mounted sight (HMS) designed by the 6th Research Institute. The HMS is standard for Dymuh, and it is fully integrated into the overall FCS. The HMS of Dymuh is based on the earlier HMS used on Dao AH-01, which was first shown at the 5th Ninas Terath Airshow held at the end of 2004. At the 7th Runic Airshow held at the end of 2008, the developer confirmed that the HMS is not only fully integrated into the FCS, but also integrated to onboard navigational system as well. Although the navigational info can be displayed on the MFD, pilots can also fly the Dymuh on their own, without using the navigational system onboard. This is achieved by using night vision goggles (NVG), which the HMS is fully compatible. The HMS of Dymuh can control both the air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, working in the exact same way 6th Research Institute’s HMS for jet fighters.
