Anton Pavlov contracts and deliveries | project Anton Pavlov Zhuk-ME slotted-array radar designed by Phazotron-NIIR corp., the core of the MiG-29SMT’s upgraded weapons control system and communications suites have been beefed up through introducing a multifunction computer, a satnav receiver and an extra comms radio. The advanced MSP-418K podded electronic warfare system can be added as well. The MiG-29SM’s air-to-air weaponry is similar to that of the MiG-29SE, but in addition it can use such air-to-ground PGMs, as the Kh-29T(TE), Kh-31A and Kh-31P guided missiles as well as KAB-500Kr and KAB-500-OD guided bombs. Using a target designation pod or having the targets painted by external 26 take-off november 2007 laser designators, the aircraft can use the Kh-29L and Kh-25ML guided missiles and KAB-500L guided bombs. Deep upgrade A deeper upgrade of the MiG-29 fighter, the MiG-29SMT, is offered to the Middle East, North African and Asian countries that are in cash and in need of top-notch multirole fighters. The MiG-29SMT features the sophisticated Zhuk-ME radar, a new cockpit management system, a number of latest avionics, new weapons including air-to-ground PGMs, and an in-flight refuelling system. Subject to specific customer requirements, the fighter’s internal fuel capacity can be increased and individual foreign-made avionics can be fitted. For instance, the Yemen-ordered MiG-29SMTs are fitted with several French-made avionics systems and those intended for Algeria mount a 950-litre extra fuselage fuel cell aft of the cockpit. The MiG-29SMT’s open-architecture avionics suite is wrapped around the central computer system with multiplex data channels, which allows it to incorporate new avionics from Russian and foreign manufacturers, should the customer wish so. Compared with the N019E and N019ME radars, the slotted-array Zhuk-ME designed by Phazotron-NIIR corp. has wider scan area, an acquisition range twice as longer (120 km), a lower weight, a higher reliability and the four-aircraft multiple-engagement capability. The MiG-29SMT’s cockpit management system comprises two large MFI-10-6 MFDs and HOTAS capability. Its navigation suite includes an inertial/satellite navigation system and its communications suite has advanced radios. The aircraft can carry the MSP-418K EW system in a pod. At the customer’s request, the MiG-29SMT can be given an up-rated IRST and radios, navigation aids and IFF transponders of other types. The MiG-29SMT’s weapons suite is commonised with the www.take-off.ru
