Naval helicopter, developed in the framework of the ROC “Lamprey”, will be ready in 10 years. This was stated in an interview with TASS General designer of firm “Kamov” Sergey Mikheev.

Mikheyev noted that the future machine will have the traditional Kamov design Bureau coaxial scheme. “There is no other option. I believe that the future of a coaxial circuit, due to characteristics of aerodynamics”, — he explained.

Earlier, in December 2015, a source in the defense Ministry, revealing the cipher ROC “Lamprey”, noted that at that time it was a stage of the technical design were worked out the General layout of the helicopter, and various components and mechanisms.

That the helicopter is in principle designed in the summer of 2015 was announced by the chief of the naval aviation of the Russian Navy Igor Kozhin, the General Director of Corporation “Helicopters of Russia” Alexander Mikheev. Kozhin, in particular, noted that the helicopter will be waiting by the 2018-2020 year.

In 2009, materials of Corporation “Helicopters of Russia”, dedicated to the development of the range of military helicopters, mentioned prospective ship’s helicopter Ka-65. At that time the machine was intended to develop on the basis of the Ka-62 by 2020.

At the moment the main carrier-based Navy helicopter is Ka-27, taken into service in 1981. It is developed on the basis of helicopter Ka-25. Available in two basic versions — anti-submarine (Ka-27PL) and search and rescue (Ka-27PS). He also established a transport and assault helicopter of the marine corps, the Ka-29 helicopter of radar-tracking patrol of Ka-31.

10 years development for a naval helicopter isnt too much??

KoTeMoRe wrote:10 years for an helicopter? That's what it took for the AH-1. The upgrade from AH-1 to AH-1Z came also in about 10 years. About 8 yeard for AH-64...off course these are attack helicopters but still.

"The work on the new helicopter, codenamed the Lamprey, is underway. The technical shape of the machine has been coordinated and its main tactical and technical, economic and operational parameters have been determined. The prototype of the helicopter is expected to be ready after 2020," Chechikov told RIA Novosti in an interview.

New Russian Naval Helicopter Project Makes Progress

The Minoga configuration could be similar to this model of the Ka-92 high-speed helicopter that was displayed in 2007.

Russian Helicopters has provided an update on the next-generation naval helicopter project named Minoga. Company head Andrei Boginsky told journalists in Moscow that a mockup is being produced for inspection by the Russian Navy early next year. Russian Helicopters won an R&D contract from the Russian defense ministry in 2006 and has since conducted wind-tunnel testing. But Boginsky did not reveal many details of the proposed configuration.

Boginsky spoke shortly after the chief of the Russian navy fleet air arm, Gen. Igor Kozhin, said that work on the project is progressing well. He said, “The helicopter has been shaped and its main technical, economic, and operational performance targets set.” The maiden flight is planned for 2020.

The Minoga will be a fourth-generation of Russian naval deck helicopters, following the Kamov Ka-15, Ka-25, and Ka-27. They all featured coaxial main rotors, but although Kamov leads design work on the project, it is not yet clear whether the Minoga would keep this characteristic Kamov layout. Some sources suggest that the new helicopter design is based on the Ka-90/92 concept of the early 2000s, when Kamov competed with Mil to design a high-speed helicopter for the civilian market.

Boginsky did say that some findings made during the high-speed helicopter research programs are being applied to new designs for the military. “The company decided in 2015 to halt the work on the commercial helicopter because our studies indicated the price of speed was going to be too expensive for commercial operators,” he said.

The Minoga will be powered by a pair of Klimov TV7-117V turboshaft engines interchangeable with their predecessor VK-2500. This indicates that the new rotorcraft will be made larger when initially planned in 2015, when the NPO Saturn RD-600V was being considered. Weighing 380 kg (772 lb), the TV7-117V develops 3,500-3,750 hp in emergencies; 2,500-3,000 at maximum takeoff weight; and 1,650 hp during a typical cruise. However, the new naval helicopter must be compact enough for a pair of them to be stored in a standard ship hangar that is designed to house a single Ka-27. Kamov has previously studied a lightweight deck helicopter in the four-five metric-ton class. Later, the gross weight grew to some seven-eight metric tons, yet significantly under the figure for the long-serving Ka-27, which is 12 metric tons.

The primary role for the Minoga will be antisubmarine warfare, but unlike its predecessors, it will also be required to carry out other tasks. Of note, the Kamov Ka-52K Katran is already in flight tests, but its missions are limited to electronic reconnaissance and strike.

NPP Polet is reported to be heading the work on the Minoga’s mission equipment. Its parent organization Rostec says that the Russian navy is seeking “an intelligent command/control system." A life-long after-sales support commitment from the industry is another navy requirement.

Boginsky also mentioned the flying laboratory based on the Mi-24 attack helicopter. It is testing new engineering solutions for main rotor blades. Boginsky said that some good results had been obtained, and he urged the defense ministry to provide extra funding for R&D work on shaping next-generation combat rotorcraft.

Model of the perspective sea helicopter "Minoga (Lamprey" "

https://bmpd.livejournal.com/3663901.html


A photograph of a full-size mock-up of the promising sea helicopter “Minoga”, created by Kamov JSC (sometimes referred to as Ka-65), got into open sources. The picture was taken, presumably, in the hangar of JSC "Kamov" at the Flight Test and Development Base (LIiDB) of JSC "Helicopters of Russia" in Tomilino (Lyubertsy District, Moscow Region).

GarryB wrote:It is a very efficient design in terms of internal volume and capacity and vastly more capable than the US equivalent of the Sea Hawk... which is rather ordinary.

They are working on new high speed helicopter designs... the model with the pusher propeller gives a hint at that... which is not to say the Ka-27 is obsolete, but that they can do better.

The Russian Helicopters holding has completed a detail design of the advanced ship-based helicopter for the Russian Navy, codenamed ‘Minoga,’ CEO Andrey Boginsky has told TASS.

"Our job has been accepted," he said. "Together with the Defense Ministry, we now continue drafting a statement of work for the next stage, for the stage of experimental design."

The Russian Navy is to receive several modifications of the prospective seaborne Minoga helicopter, including airborne assault one, a defense industry source told TASS on the sidelines of the Army-2016 defense forum.

MiL is working on pusher propeller model, this one here is standard

there wwill be several versions

Well that is to be expected as it is supposed to replace the Ka-27 family of aircraft which include the Ka-27 SAR and anti sub helo, the Ka-29 assault helicopter, and the Ka-31 AEW helicopter.
