Iraq UAV's

[التوبوليف العراقية]

السؤال هو : لماذا طائرات بدون طيار ولماذا ليس طائرات هليكوبنر او مروحية خفيفة؟ وكذلك هل لهذه الطائرات القدرة على الطيران ليلا ؟

الطائرات بدون طيار اقتصادية اكثر من ناحية التكلفة و التشغيل والصيانة و هي الاقدر على تنفيذ اعمال المراقبة الجوية (( المستمرة ))

طبعا جميعا نعرف ان العراق يواجه عمليات ارهابيه شبه يوميه من جماعات مسلحه ، الغريب في الأمر ان الصفقات الأخيره التي عقدها العراق وقال انها تستهدف العمليات الأرهابيه تجاهلت الحكومه العراقيه الحصول علي طائرات موجهه من دون طيار مسلحه ، حيث ان هذه الطائرات لعبت دورا مهما في تصفيه الجماعات المسلحه في اليمن وافغانستان وباكستان وفلسطين والتي تستعمل من قبل القوات الأمريكيه والصهيونيه.

العراق استطاع الحصول علي بعض الطائرات الموجهه من دون طيار امريكيه المنشأ لقواته البريه والبحريه ولكن جميع هذه الطائرات لا تمتلك مدي طيران ممتاز وليست مسلحه حتي يتمكن من استخدامها في عملياته ضد الجماعات الأرهابيه.

ايران تركز علي تطوير صناعتها من الطائرات الموجهه من دون طيار وتستعملها في مختلف صنوف جيشها وقامت بتصديرها الي سوريا وحزب الله اللبناني وقامت بعض هذه الطائرات المصدره بعمليات اختراق للعمق الصهيوني لآغراض التجسس ، كذلك تركيا بطائرتها الموجهه من دون طيار anka والتي تعكف حاليا علي صنع نموذج مسلح منها ، من اشهر هذه الطائرات المسلحه الموجهه من دون طيار هي البريداتور والتي باعتها امريكا فقط الي حليفتها بريطانيا وترفض بيعها الي دول اخري ، الأن هنالك بديل عن هذه الطائره وهي الطائره الصينيه wing loong والتي عرضتها اليوم الصين في معرض الطيران المقام بها وهي طائره مخصصه للتصدير ، تستطيع النسخه الصينيه المسلحه عن البريداتور حمل تشكيله جيده من الأسلحه دقيقه التوجيه ويمكنها الطيران علي ارتفاع 5200 متر وبمدي 4000 كيلومتر.

الصين استطاعات ان تلحق بأمريكا في مجال طائرات التجسس الموجهه من دون طيار ولديها الكثير من النماذج التي تعرضها للتصدير وهي تتنوع بين نماذج مسلحه ونماذج تجسس استراتيجيه ذات امديه طيران بعيده وقدره علي التحليق العالي.

لو تعاقد العراق علي شراء وتصنيع الطائره wing loong الصينيه ، لأصبحت لديه القدره علي شن هجمات جويه ضد الجماعات المسلحه من دون الحاجه الي استعمال طائرات باهظه الثمن ذات كلفه تشغيل عاليه ومن دون تعريض حياه طياريه لخطر الأسقاط ، مثل هذه الطائره يمكن ضمها الي البحريه العراقيه لتقوم بعمليات الدوريه البحريه المسلحه والأستطلاع والقوه الجويه لعمليات التجسس والأستطلاع والهجوم الأرضي وجهاز الأستخبارات لعمليات التجسس والأغتيالات.

العمليات التي تنفذها الطائرات المسيرة دون طيار تشبه في دقتها العمليات الجراحيه واكبر دليل عملية اغتيال القيادي في حركة حماس احمد الجعبري قبل يومين وكذلك العمليات التي تنفذها وكالة الاستخبارات الامريكية في اليمن ضد عناصر تنظيم القاعدة هناك

السلام عليكم موضوع ممتاز اخي الكريم ..لكن لي بعض الاضافات والملاحظات ..بالنسبة لاقتناء العراق لطاءرات بلا طيار ..
لنترك قليلا الكلام الذي يقال في تصريحات المسؤووليين العراقيين حول ان الاسلحة الذي يقتنيها للقضاء على الارهاب فالقضاء على الارهاب يتم بالبانتسير ام الاف 16 ام دبابات ابرامز وغيرها..!
هذه التصريحات لطمئنة العالم بان العراق ملتزم بالمنهج الجديد ..لنرجع لصلب الموضوع
العراق ليس بحاجة لطائرات دون طيار فلا ضرورة لاقتناءها في الوقت الحالي لان العراق ليس فيه اي معسكرات للارهابيين او تحركات جماعية اللخ من التي موجودة في باكستان وافغانستان والجزائر وو.. لذلكـ العراق يحتاج الى جهاز استخباري قوي مخصص لدك الجماعات المسلحة وزرع عناصر مع الجماعات المسلحة ..وكاضافة على التطرق للطائرة الصينية الكوبي بيست من البريداتور حسب ضني وبتغيرات طفيفة في التصميم الخارجي وجناحي الطاءرة ..

الجيش العراقي يتدرب علي الأر كيو - 11 ريفن

The RQ-11 Raven miniature unmanned aerial vehicle provides Iraqi troops on the ground quick, accurate aerial surveillance to support operations and assess potential threats.

With a 6-mile range and the ability to see over a large area, forces on the ground can use the information to maneuver, locate targets and gain intelligence vital to their mission.

Now, with help from C Troop, 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Brigade, the Iraqi Army's 32nd Brigade is learning how to take the Raven system into combat and deploy it successfully to support their operations as U.S. Forces move to a supporting role in the security of Iraq.

During the training, Iraqi Army soldiers learn how to assemble the 4-pound MUAV, establish a link with the computer system, set waypoints and launch the Raven into the air. The Iraqi troops also attend classroom training to familiarize them with the specifics of the system.

First Lieutenant Lee Webb, the mortar platoon leader for C Troop, said that the training serves a twofold purpose by teaching the IA soldiers not only how to operate the system, but also how the system can be used to increase their abilities in the field.

"It allows them to broaden the scope of their operations and gives them more intelligence gathering assets than just their eyes or driving around," said Webb, from Virginia Beach, Va.

The Raven system is scheduled to see deployment during the upcoming March elections, when the Iraqi Army and Police will provide security for the people and polling sites.

Spc. Sam Kim, the Raven operator for C Troop, said that the training has been progressing well and that he's confident the Iraqi soldiers will have no problems running the system once their training is complete.

The Iraqi troops have learned how to operate the system quickly, despite the computer program that operates the Raven being only in English, said Webb.

"It's been great for Soldiers in our platoon as well," Webb said. "To be able to see how confident they are and how quickly they've been able to learn. There's been a lot of mutual respect that's been built here."

العراق يشتري السكان ايجل لقواته البحريه

American military drones are returning to the skies above Iraq more than five months after U.S. troops withdrew from the country.

But this time, the drones will be operated by members of the Iraqi navy and will provide overwatch for the country's oil platforms off its southern coast, U.S. officials in Baghdad said Wednesday.

The deal being will cover the sale of roughly 12 of the U.S. Navy's Scan Eagle unmanned drones, a State Department official told The Hill on Monday.

The drones will be equipped with surveillance packages that will allow the aircraft to conduct day and night missions, the official said on the condition of anonymity.

The official ruled out any possibility of arming the Scan Eagles for offensive operations by the Iraqi military, noting it was "not even feasible" to arm the drone.

The Iraqi military already owns and operates a number of Scan Eagle drone to support its ongoing security operations. The biggest issue will be training Iraqi sailors to operate the aircraft on the open sea, the official said.

تصنيع طائرات بدون طيار بالعراق

I think this is a very interesting solution for Iraq.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012 ... ded-bombs/

using small GPS guided mortar bombs from small to medium sized UAVs. this would be perfect for air support for Iraqi army units as well as for the border guards.

IMHO a better solution than armed / manned helicopters... especially since you can buy 20 "cheap" drones for the price of one helicopter and each drone can stay in the air for longer than a helicopter.

[hayder]

some details.




The US military and CIA have used "drone strikes" heavily in the war in Afghanistan and the hunt for members of Al Qaeda. They've fired Hellfire missiles from the long-range Predator, Reaper, and Global Hawk unmanned aircraft, killing over 3,000 people so far with such attacks. But at 100 pounds, the Hellfire weighs almost as much as some small drones, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars. Add that to the cost of flying the big drones that carry them, and it makes for a very expensive way to kill someone.

But the economics of "precision-strike" drone warfare may change very soon. The US Army and General Dynamics announced today that they have successfully tested a weapon that could turn small unmanned aircraft into small-scale automated precision-attack bombers. General Dynamics' Ordnance and Tactical Systems unit and the Army Armament Research and Development Engineering Center successfully demonstrated they could shell targets from a small drone armed with GPS-guided 81-millimeter mortar rounds.

Originally designed to be fired from mortar tubes on the ground, GPS-guided mortar rounds started to be deployed to US troops in Afghanistan last year. The guidance is part of a fuse attached to an otherwise-conventional mortar round that controls the stabilization fins on the shell. The system tested by ARDEC and General Dynamics (called the Air Drop Mortar) turns GPS-guided mortar rounds into "smart" bombs, programming them with GPS coordinates through a specially designed rack on the drone.

In a series of three tests using a TigerShark drone—a 200-pound drone with a 17-foot wingspan capable of taking off and landing on its own—the Air Drop Mortar (ADM) dropped the 10-pound test shells from about 7,000 feet. They fell within seven meters of the designated target in every test. The blast radius of a high-explosive 81-millimeter mortar shell is about 35 meters.

There are a number of military advantages to dropping mortar rounds from drones. Drones obviously have a longer reach than artillery, and they can linger over an area for long periods and attack without warning (the TigerShark drone can stay in the air for up to eight hours). And compared to the missiles typically carried by DoD and CIA drones, mortar rounds are dirt-cheap.

But there are other potential uses for the ADM. Mortar shells can also carry non-lethal contents, such as smoke and gas, so the potential applications of mortar-armed drones could easily extend into law enforcement and homeland security. (Yes, small drones could be launched from a distance to drop shells to disperse crowds.) Law enforcement agencies are already looking at the potential of using drones with non-lethal weapons. The sheriff's department of Montgomery County, Texas has expressed interest in arming its Shadowhawk helicopter drones with tear gas grenades, rubber bullets, and tasers.

Of course, the accuracy of the ADM, and of the drones that carry the system, could be put at risk by GPS jamming technology. The Iranian forces allegedly used such tactics to capture a CIA RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone last year. And the general security of drone systems is already in question. The video feed from many US drones is unencrypted, and has been intercepted in the past by enemies on the ground using satellite communications monitoring software.

its an unarmed version of the famous predator uav cleared for export by the pentagon, the armed predator is not cleared for sale to third world countries.

USA sold armed predators only to its NATO closed allies the UK and Italy.

But the Americans don't export armed UAV's!....(or am I mistaken!)

Unarmed UAV's are useless in our case...like having a gun without bullets.
