My lecture presents the universal system-model of military air

vehicle for practical example of the previous theory

Military air vehicle can be:– fighter, – bomber, – carrier, – exploratory,– helicopter, – UAV,– UCAV,– balloon,– etc.

Purpose of military air vehiclePurpose of military air vehicle

Main outputs of military air vehicle are attributes and capabilities for performance of air mission. Also outputs are the self-emitted, echo and response signals, reactions by influences from environment and losses.

Purpose of military air vehicle can be determinated by its environment:– Survival– Result

Determined by friendly environment results can be:

– transfer people, armament, military tools and materials by landing or parachute,

– transfer optical and/or electronic tools over determined territory for reconnaissance,

– transfer bombs, missiles, torpedo, mines and/or guns for strikes against ground targets by remote control or for self-direction,

– reconnaissance, capture, diversion or kill enemy air targets,

– air search for saving people– etc.

within physical framework of system,– computer takes over its role,– staff determines purpose, and can intervene

into the work of system by reprogramming or remote control from friendly environment,

What can be consequence of replacement of the fighter-fleet

in air-defense and combat-assistance functions of Hungarian Air-Force?

Universal model of military air Universal model of military air vehicle could be made possible to vehicle could be made possible to answer challenges of modernizing answer challenges of modernizing

the the Hungarian Air ForceHungarian Air Force

How tasks will be shared among branch of services of the Air-Forces,

and how will they cooperate with each other?

How will be our and allied troops protected

from friendly air-strikes of new fighters?

How will be the new air-fighters protected

from our and allied Air-Defense system’s strikes?

What can be the consequence of replacement of the fighter-fleet in

C4I (Command, Control, Communication, Computer and

Intelligence) system of the Hungarian Armed Forces?



How will C4I systems of branches of services cooperate within the

Hungarian Air Force,

or between C4I systems of the Air-Force and Army?

How will our new fighters cooperate with allied C4I systems NATO Air-

Defense system?

How will our new fighters cooperate with Hungarian and neighboring country’s civil Air-Traffic-Control

systems?

What can be the consequence of replacement of the fighter-fleet

in the cooperation with neighboring NATO countries?



How can new fighters use navigation and service systems

of airports of neighboring NATO countries?

How can new fighters use the training bases, and polygons

of neighboring NATO countries?

Is mutual establishment of regional

maintenance and logistical bases economical?
