Storm Shadow
Italian aerospace company Alenia Aeronautica is leading the integration of the
Storm Shadow conventionally armed stand-off cruise missile (CASOM) on
Typhoon. UK-based BAE Systems has a major workshare in the Typhoon-Storm
Shadow integration programme and holds the ICDs (interface control documents)
to support the requirements of its customers, including the RAF.
Work Share
As part of its workshare, BAE Systems has already started initial work for
the integration trials of the Storm Shadow CASOM on the Typhoon. The
company will be involved with all of the aerodynamic disciplines: flutter,
engine intake compatibility, flight performance (take off, landing and inflight),
design and clearance control for the FCS, static and dynamic loads
and structure coupling.
And the UK aerospace company will also test Storm Shadow load
configurations on Typhoon in its wind tunnel using 12th, 20th or 50th scale
models. The company conducts two types of wind tunnel tests; six component
testing for basic aerodynamic information and installed store loads testing. The
latter uses a small strain gauge balance placed inside the model of the Storm
Shadow to gather load data to determine the clearance limits of the store and to
certify carriage on Typhoon.
Two kinds of load will be determined, one when the missile is installed on the
aircraft and the other in free air, and the aerodynamic influence of each will define
the starting point for SR&J trials. Blending the two load types together allows the
trajectory of a store release to be modelled.
Flight Trials
The Alenia weapons integration team based in Turin has already gained clearance
for flutter, FCS and loads in preparation for air vehicle integration trials to be flown
in Italy by the end of 2013.
The flight test team will conduct a series of flutter, environmental gathering and
aerodynamic data gathering flight trials to determine how carrying Storm Shadow
affects the handling qualities of the aircraft and the handling characteristics felt by
the pilot.
The flutter characteristics of the aircraft will change because of the shape
and size of the missile (Storm Shadow is 5.10m/16.8ft long, and weighs
1,300kg/2,866lb).
The environmental effect experienced by Storm Shadow on Typhoon will also
be tested using an instrumented test round to gather the data. MBDA uses that
data to verify that the weapon will operate appropriately on the aircraft.
Successful completion of the trials will ensure that Typhoon can be flown within
its current envelope when loaded with Storm Shadow missiles.
SR&J trials will follow during the first quarter of 2014. All Storm Shadow flight
trials will involve two load configurations comprising one or two missiles carried
on the centre wing pylons.
The current Typhoon-Storm Shadow trial programme is due to start before the
end of this year and run for 18 to 24 months. BAE Systems will lead on avionics
integration and weapon system performance which occur in the latter stages of
the Storm Shadow trials.
A location for the end-to-end firing trials has yet to be decided, but because of
the size of the weapon danger area needed, it is likely the Outer Hebrides range
would be used if BAE Systems is selected to conduct the trials.
Under the current plan, BAE Systems will conduct its first test flights
in 2014.
