A400M Helicopter AAR
A400M Helicopter AAR R&D programme launched to analyse extended hose length solution (from
80ft to 120ft) feasibility.
R&D programme consist of 2 phases: Advanced Simulation&Modelling Ph1 and Wind Tunnel Test
Ph2.
Simulation & Modelling targets hose stability and hose response behaviour simulation.
Wind Tunnel Test at Onera F1 Tunnel finished and Aerodynamic assessment of the data
generated on-going.
Following successful completion of the R&D programme a Flight Test programme will follow to fully
validate the results of previous phases. Target is to proceed with a FT proximity testing before end
of 2016.

Tactical Ground Collision Avoidance System for A400M
T-GCAS ®
T-GCAS® has been developed to provide CFIT protection
for all military flight phases:
– Tactical Take-off and Tactical Landing (e.g. unpaved
runways) without the use of a runway data base or terrain
clearance floor
– Low level flight down to 150 ft in VMC and down to 500 ft in
IMC
– CFIT protection during low level delivery down to 15 ft
above ground level
Predictive Mode - Forward-Looking Terrain-Awareness
• Evaluation of digital terrain model,aircraft foreseen trajectory
and maneuver capability for current aircraft configuration.
• Alert indication in PFD, HUD and audio signal
➥ 2 alert levels for improved crew situation awareness
• Exact location of the predicted terrain or obstacle incursion
indicated on the Navigation Display
Reactive Mode

C295 Cockpit Automated Procedures
The objective of the R&T Program is to enhance modern cockpit operation taking into account Human Factors
aspects to improve Situational Awareness and reduce Pilot Workload Load keeping flight safety level and mission
effectiveness.
The new function aims to simplify the way how flight crew interacts in the cockpit during normal operation or after
system failure occurrence to reach the objective of automated flight.
Increasing procedure automation during the checklist running while maintaining pilot
in-the-loop using visual feedback
Increasing pilot mental spare capacity, especially during emergency situations.
Providing Automatic Aircraft reconfiguration per flight phase (flaps setting, landing
gear, speed brakes, lights, general systems…)
Technology and Innovation
1016 June 2016
The project request the development of an Aircraft
Configuration Management system capable to monitor the
aircraft systems and automatically provide commands to
change the configuration.
A global operational evaluation will be performed including
complex scenarios with the integration of a prototype
(HW&SW) in the Active Cockpit on ground demonstrator

JRE (Joint Range Extension) Link16 for Tankers
Aplication of Link 16 JRE Functionality in the
tanker
• Acting as Link 16 data relay to make local Link
16 information accessible to the C3I network.
• Aditionally ccessing information from Link 16
networks/scenarios that are Beyond-Line-Of-
Sight ie in the destination area.
• There are two main options to implement JREAP
capability in A330 MRTT:
Tx/Rx of L16 messages through an IP Satcom
(JREAP-C), e.g. Inmarsat 4 / Skynet
Tx/Rx of L16 messages through UHF DAMA
radio (JREAP-A
Activity performed:
Integration in Lab of a COTS JREAP-C SW application
within the Tankers TIMS architecture and performing L
16 data exchanges through a simulated satellite network
with a RPAS control station also fitted with JREAP
capability.
Next Step
Integration in one MRTT fitted with wideband SATCOM

Airborne Laser Terminal – Flight Demonstration
Airbus DS – Military Aircraft is involved in an Affordable Optical Communications (AOC)
Airborne Terminal Demonstration programme which:
• Will demonstrate laser communication from aircraft to spacecraft in GEO (39,000km)
• Will use Europe Data Relay Satellite (EDRS-A) as a space backbone
• Will embark a prototype laser terminal onboard an Airbus A310 Flying Test Bed
• Will transmit data (e.g. video) making use of a Gb-capable channel (1-2 orders of magnitude
faster than standard air-to-sat links)
Flight Test Demonstration is scheduled to take place by end of July 2016, over a Spanish restricted
airspace area, performing up to 8 independent air-to-sat laser links between the Airbus DS
Optronics terminal onboard de A310, and the EDRS-A satellite in its geospatial orbit.
