Air Combat from Glass Cockpits of Fighter Aircrafts

In our series on equipment with IAF, we have discussed about types of fighter aircrafts, operational support aircrafts like AWACS and Flight refuelling aircrafts (FRA),

The discussion in this episode is all about advanced technology systems on-board the fighter aircrafts that not only make them a potent war fighting machine but also enhances the capabilities of the pilot.

With the modernisation and rapidly advancing technology, while the weapons and the war fighting equipment have undergone huge changes, the systems on-board the fighter aircrafts have also undergone a transformation. In addition to modern avionics systems, today the fighter aircrafts are equipped with advanced systems like Head Up Display, Glass-Cockpit, Helmet Mounted Display system (HMDS) and Night Vision Goggles (NVGs).

The disadvantage is the increasing load on pilots. How far can the human brain, with all the training, cope with the increasing demand? However, all efforts are being made to automate to the maximum and allow the pilot to optimise machine refined options to a final human interface in decision making.

Guest: Air Cmdre SP singh (Retd) is an experienced fighter pilot with over 3000 hours of flying experience. He has been in the cockpit through the continuous transition that all fliers experience. Currently, he is with the Centre for Air Power Studies.
