Capabilities of JF-17 Group APF
JF-17 program provided an opportunity to achieve self reliance in the field of Avionics. PAF invested heavily in capability and capacity building in four core areas of avionics systems by developing necessary infrastructure and human resource. This included establishment of an indigenous avionics subsystem development setup, DSI lab for integration of JF-17 avionics systems, Generic facilities for production, testing and Environmental Stress Screening of avionics systems & dedicated setup for JF-17 Avionics Subsystems Life Cycle Support.
JF-17 Integration Directorate
The capability to independently integrate any subsystem or weapon of Choice on JF-17 aircraft was considered essential for future avionics up-grade. Accordingly, in phase-I, a Team of officers got ToT training of avionics integration technology in China. It can be stated with pride that Technology that a few nations cherish to master was acquired & APF today is a certified avionics integrator. To support the avionics integration ToT, a Dynamic Simulation & Integration (DSI) laboratory was established at APF in March, 2007. At present a wide range of integration projects are being handled by the integration team. The third important area of Avionics development program is the capability to produce avionics subsystem. The Production and testing facilities were thus established at APF. These facilities include four major areas namely Generic Production Line, This facility can undertake production of SMD.
Design Development & Deletion (DDD) Directorate
- Form Fit Functional replacement of obsolete card and systems
- Designing of NVIS compatible cockpit panels for aircraft and simulators
- PCB schematics, layout design and fabrications
- Micro controller and FPGA based system design
- Real time mission software development
- Aircraft audio system design
- NVIS compatibility of old cockpits
- Design and development of electronics housing and Mil-standard Human Engineering and interface (Knobs, Toggle switched, safety catches)
- Design and development of LRU accessories (Card lock retainer, PCB extractor, PCB extenders, fasteners)
Today, AMF has the capability of manufacturing structural parts and aero-structure assemblies such as the Horizontal Stabilizer, Elevator, Vertical Stabilizer, Rudder and Front Fuselage of K-8 aircraft.
Keeping abreast with the evolving trends in aviation, AMF decided to venture in manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles through the latest carbon composite material. PAF after a comprehensive operational & technical evaluation process decided for establishment of FALCO UAV manufacturing facility at AMF. During the first phase, eight FALCO UAVs were received in form of semi-assembled kits . The Final assembly and system integration of these UAVs was successfully accomplished at AMF PAC Kamra under the supervision of OEM in 2007-2008 timeframe. During the same time period, state of the art equipment was also purchased to start co-production activities. After commissioning of the equipment and training on parts manufacturing, the newly established manufacturing facility was qualified by OEM to manufacture FALCO UAVs on European Quality Standards.
An aviation industry is considered at its pinnacle when it has the capability of manufacturing a modern fighter aircraft. Today, AMF has complete infrastructure, core capabilities and state of the art technologies for manufacturing of JF-17 aircraft. Machining centre for production of aircraft parts is equipped with state of the art conventional and CNC machines. Parts with relatively lesser accuracies are manufactured on conventional machines whereas complex parts involving higher accuracies and profiles described by higher order polynomials are manufactured utilizing CNC machines, integrated with Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing Systems.
Sheet metal workshop for JF-17 parts houses an array of conventional and CNC machining facility. Machines such as Guillotine and Nibbling Shear, Conventional and CNC Stack Routers etc are utilized for processes like Shearing, Routing and Sawing techniques. Whereas CNC shot peen forming, Hydraulic Quintus Fluid Cell press, CNC Stretch Forming and CNC punching etc are used for manufacturing of parts involving sheet forming processes.
Pipe manufacturing emerging recently as a separate technology of manufacturing, caters for the requirements of aircraft hydraulic, pneumatic and oxygen systems. It involves Pipe Bending, End Fitting, testing, Marking and Covering. The most typical equipment being used in pipe manufacturing is CNC Pipe Bending Machine.
Special processes form an integral element of any modern manufacturing facility as almost all sheet metal and machine parts undergo Heat Treatment, Surface Treatment, welding and various other types of special processes during manufacturing. Vacuum oil quenching furnaces, Air Circulating and Conventional Furnaces etc are employed for Heat Treatment whereas chemical Treatment facilities include Anodizing, Chromating, Bluing, Phosphating, Pickling Passivation, Electroplating, Primer Painting and Chemical Milling etc.
Every manufactured part has to undergo a series of testing and inspection procedure from raw material till final stage at Material Testing Centre (MTC). MTC has the capability to conduct all kinds of Physical, Chemical and Non Destructive Testing (NDT) of material including testing capabilities of all heat and surface treatment equipment for periodicqualification.
The first phase of aircraft assembling starts at Aero Structural build up facility. Hundreds of sheet metal and machine parts, pipes and components etc are skillfully put together with the help of thousands of rivets to build aircraft sub-assemblies such as fuselage, wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers and ailerons etc. The aircraft starts to take shape at final assembly set up where sub-assemblies, all system parts, engines, piping, cabling are installed and integrated before sending the assembled aircraft to Flight Test Station (FTS) for stringent power ON and functional checks of each and every system of the aircraft. This is followed by series of aircraft ground runs and quality shake-downs before finally handing over it to the test pilot for yet another series of functional check flights (FCFs) to ascertain the airworthiness.
The manufacturing of JF-17 Thunder fighter at AMF has brought Pakistan among select group of countries of aviation world. Attainment of this capability in less than a quarter of a century itself speaks of the highest standards of dedication that PAC Engineers and technicians showed since the word go.
Earlier in 2010, the then PAKISTAN AIR CHIEF Air Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman announced that PAKISTAN will built the KLJ-7 AESA Radar at PAKISTAN Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra.
It is worth noting that PAKISTAN has announced 10 years before that PAC Kamra will manufacture KLJ-7 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar at state owned Aircraft Manufacturing Facility known as PAKISTAN Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra.

طيب هذا نفس الشيء الذي تقوم به السعودية مع الf-15 اين المميز الذي يجعلها مقاتلة پاكستانية؟ او ان الافيونكس فيها من تطوير پاكستاني و ليس subsystems تعمل معها؟
ايضا هل شراء معدات صناعية من الخارج للصيانة و دمج الذخاءر شيء مميز؟
