36th Rafale to have all India specific enhancements, arrives Jan 2022

The first one is related to the modification of the Rafale’s M88 Engine. The engine will be enhanced to allow the Rafale to operate in a multitude of extreme operational environments ranging from high altitudes to deserts. Engine condition monitoring sensors are being attached to maintain the Rafale’s overall engine health. There have been no design modifications made to the engine. However, enhancements have been made to the Full Authority Digital Engine (FADEC) to aid the Jets engine to operate in extreme temperatures.

The second modification is related to the Doppler Weather Radar, which is located at the nose of the fighter aircraft which informs the pilot the weather ahead. For example, if it is raining, then the detector will apprise the fighter pilot about the density of the rain and level of precipitation. It will even let the pilot know about the perceived levels of turbulence ahead, allowing the pilot to make prior corrections.

Third one is related to Indian Regional Navigation Satellite With SIGMA. The indigenous satellite system is being made compatible with the French-designed fighter platform. The integration of the Indian navigation system will incur additional costs; however, it will allow the Rafale to operate efficiently in Indian operational theatres.

Fourth modification is related to the Extra Filtered Oxygen Generation. This enhancement is designed to filter out particulate matter, found in high altitude. The onboard oxygen generation system will serve to reduce the risk of hypoxia to fighter pilots, which is a result of lowering levels of oxygen supply to the pilot. This India specific add on will further filter oxygen in accordance with Indian air conditions.

Fifth one is related to the Spice 1000 Smart Bomb. The Israeli designed SPICE smart missiles are to be integrated into the Rafales aerial panel. The aircraft’s data links and related software will be adapted accordingly.

Sixth one is about the ASTRA BVRAAM. It will be another addition to the Rafales lethal assortment of Missiles. The integration of the Indian missile will be made possible with the technical assistance of Dassault aviation.

Seventh one is related to G4 Lightning Pod. The Indian Air Force’s tried and tested G4 lightning pod will be integrated into the Rafale. The G4 pod is attached to nearly every fighter in the IAF’s arsenal.

Eight one is related to the Enhanced SPECTRA EW Suit. The SPECTRA have a host of different sensors, such as radar waving receivers, infrared sensors each performing distinct functions. The range of these highly potent sensors is likely to be modified. The ELINT of the SPECTRA system has a maximum range of 222 km. The systems defensive electronic countermeasures will be worked on RBA2 radar 200 km. The missile approach warning system which has a current range of 9.3 km, will be further enhanced. Such enhancements will mean that the pilot will be warned of an incoming weapon attack well ahead of 9.3 km giving the pilot ample of time to manoeuvre evasively.

Ninth one is related to the Quad Pack Ejectors. The Rafales will come equipped with French Quad Pack ejectors. These could be used as Stand-off weapons. According to a renowned defence expert the quad pack ejectors for the DEW EMP is being jointly designed by the by both India and Israel.

Tenth one is related to the X Gaurd Fibre Optic Towed Decoy. This decoy system is designed to counter incoming enemy surface to air missiles (SAM’s) and air to air missiles (AAM’s). The decoy is deployed behind the fighter emulating its heat signature to fool the incoming missile. It is a 4th generation tracking system designed to give some of the most sophisticated tracking radars the slip. the decoy is deployable and retractable mid-flight and may be used multiple times making it immensely cost-effective.
