The diamond UCAV with a cockpit shape was whittled down from around 11 configurations that included B-2-esquese LOUT is unpiloted but features a notional flying wings. cockpit canopy to test various transparencies. Particular attention has been made to make the canopy non-reflective to radar waves. A key objective of LOUT has been its modular approach to allow different sub-components to be tested. W DEFENCE LOUT of the Black In early November, Airbus Defence and Space revealed a diamond-shaped classified stealth demonstrator which the company has been developing for the past decade as a national German R&D project. The LOUT (Low Observable UAV Testbed), seen here in an anechoic test chamber in Manching, was designed as a holistic ground-based very low observable demonstrator to investigate the latest in stealth technology − particularly against emerging threats like low-frequency ‘counter-stealth’ radars. It is also optimised for low observability in IR, visual and acoustic bandwidths − as well as investigating emissions control for sensors and datalinks. Research from LOUT is expected to find its way into the pan-European FCAS combat aircraft project, as well as flow back into Eurofighter upgrades. 4 AEROSPACE / DECEMBER 2019 LOUT specifications Wingspan 12m Weight 4tonnes Smooth operator Speed Subsonic The demonstrator also features conformal embedded antennas – again with the emphasis on integrating these apertures closely into the outer skin of the aircraft to ensure no edges that could impact RCS. As well as conformal antennas and reducing gaps between openings, LOUT also includes surface wave attenuation and ‘further coatings’ to treat locally significant effects – stealth coatings which the company refused to elaborate further on. Shielded exhaust The exhaust for the engine(s) exits through a flat, wide nozzle on the top of the aircraft and is shielded from the ground and sides. Airbus has also paid special attention to lowering the IR signature and cooling – noting how modern IR systems make jet engine exhausts stand out. Another technology that has been investigated is engine thrust vectoring control. Can you see me now? The multi-disciplinary approach to LOUT also extended to giving the vehicle (or operators) self-awareness of its own stealth signature. @aerosociety i Find us on LinkedIn f Find us on Facebook www.aerosociety.com DECEMBER 2019 5 Radome First news from DEFENCE Dubai Air Show First RAF P-8 Poseidon handed over Crown CopyrightCrown Emirates has confirmed and increased a previous commitment from 30 to 50 Airbus A350-900s but removed 40 A330neos from its orginal order.

The UAE Air Force has announced plans to purchase two additional Saab Globaleye AEW aircraft and three additional Airbus A330MRTT tankers.

Charaniat SpaceWorks Engineering, Inc. (SEI), United States of America (USA) [email protected] Derek Webber:t Spaceport Associates, United States of America (USA) [email protected] Jon G.

The overall business case is then investigated,
