ATR 42 MP

The ATR 42 MP is a derivative of the proven ATR 42 / 72 twin turboprop aircraft family, specifically based on the latest ATR 42-600 airframe and designed to perform a wide range of special missions. Through a number of mission specific systems/features, the aircraft provides outstanding capabilities in Surveillan-ce/Reconnaissance, Exclusive Economic Zone patrol and Search And Rescue duties. Because it can be easily reconfigured, the ATR 42 MP also doubles as an effective multi-purpose transport aircraft.

The ATR 42 MP inherits the exceptional characteristics of the basic platform, including the structure designed to meet the latest damage tolerance require-ments and characterized by high corrosion resistance and extensive use of composites. The MP structure is modified for sensor installation and to introduce specific mission-related features including bubble windows and in-flight operable hatch (or door).

The ATR 42 MP can easily operate in extreme temperatures, altitudes and environmental conditions; it can safely take off and land on short and narrow runways. These features, combined with the “Hotel Mode” function, enable it to use remote bases where only limited support is available.

The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW 127M turboprops, each with 2,400 sHP continuous power rating, retained during one engine ino-perative take-off. Each engine is fitted with a Hamilton Sundstrand 568F six-blade, variable-pitch propeller.

The new standard avionic suite includes a glass cockpit flight deck featuring five LCD screens. Designed to meet the most exacting customer requirements, it is based on state-of-the-art components with specific enhancements for the MP role.

Because crew comfort is crucial to effectiveness during long endurance missions, the ATR 42 MP is designed with this goal in mind. Specific noise/vibration reduction features, optimized ECS, abundant internal space, adjustable seats, fully equipped galley and toilet endow the ATR 42 MP with outstanding levels of comfort.

MISSION SYSTEM

The open architecture Mission System offers inherent mission flexibility, while the extensive use of COTS components guarantees state-of-the-art Human Ma-chine Interface, graphics capability and computer throughput performance. The Mission System is based on two removable, interchangeable tactical operator stations equipped with multifunction, integrated display and control units, significantly reducing dedicated control panels and monitors and maximizing flexi-bility in crew task allocation.

The main Mission System task is to control and monitor the sensors which collect, analyze, fuse, record and distribute all available data.

Functions supported by the Mission System include active and passive electronic surveillance, optical reconnaissance in the visible and infrared band, vessel identification, pollution detection, mission planning, airdrop support.

Two flat displays linked to the Mission System are installed respectively in the cockpit and debriefing area to allow other crew members to follow the tactical situation from these locations.

Search Radar

The ATR 42 MP Search Radar is a multi-mode, X-band unit optimized for 360° long-range target detection, tracking and identification. It is designed for operations against sea surface targets, but also provides air-to-air and weather modes and SAR, ISAR and MTI capabili-ties.The embedded Track While Scan fe-ature allows one hundred targets to be tracked simultaneously.

Automatic Identification System (AIS)

The system identifies and locates any target equipped with an operating AIS transponder, be it a ship, an aircraft or a helicopter. Its data contribute to create the tactical situation produced by the Mission System, complementing Search Radar information. It is especially useful during sealane monitoring, EEZ patrol and SAR missions.

Direction Finder (DF)

The DF is a V/UHF 360° Direction Fin-ding device which locates the direction of radio emitters in the MHz to 470 MHz frequency range.

Electro-Optical Turret

The Electro-Optical Turret provides pas-sive target detection and identification capabilities in any light condition by grouping in a single stabilized assembly optical sensors operating in both the infra-red and visible spectrums. The tur-ret operates over 360° in azimuth and in a wide elevation range. It can be slaved to the Search Radar to support optical identification of the detected targets. The specific sensors integrated in the turret can be tailored to customer needs.

Electronic Support Measures Electronic Support Measures (ESM)
