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.

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 9100C certification from NVTQC.

Jaguar DARIN II

Upgrade of Jaguar aircraft for enhanced mission and operational capabilities with advanced navigation, EW and attack features and precision weapon deliveries through integration of contemporary avionics systems.

Jaguar DARIN III

Upgrade with Fire Control Radar and near Glass Cockpit, EFIS integrated with indigenous Open System Architecture Mission Computer for mission & operational capability, lethality and survivability.

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

A technology demonstrator project to integrate contemporary systems viz. Indigenousmission 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)

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

In-house design and development of AFCS for LCH is currently undergoing integration testing on the helicopter.

Mission Computers

Mission Computers based on Open System Architecture, with multiple processing modules
interfaced through high speed back plane, providing features like high speed processing, various data bus interface, graphics generation and video format conversion and switching, have been developed by MCSRDC. Primary attributes are availability, modularity and flexibility of design.

Software

A range of Avionics software and algorithms for navigation and weapon guidance with Multi Sensor Data Fusion, 3D Digital Map Generation, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning, On-board Virtual Training System, High Speed Data Transfer Protocol, 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

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 simulatorsat different IAF Stations.
