Death Tunnel Pakistan

PAKISTAN: DEATH TUNNEL The Lowari Pass in Pakistan winds its way through the mountainous region bordering Afghanistan. Ten kilometres of this road, dubbed the 'death tunnel' by locals, cuts straight through the mountain. Landslides and avalanches are common and the tunnel has to be cleared every day

Pakistan Navy test-fires missile

The Pakistan Navy yesterday successfully test-fired several surface-to-air missiles to assess its air defence capabilities, officials said.
Three surface-to-air missile tests were carried out in Sonmiani area of Sindh province, a navy spokesman said, adding all missiles hit their targets precisely.
Naval chief Admiral Noman Bashir and Air Defence Commander Vice Admiral Tayyab Ali Dogar witnessed the drill.
“The successful testing will add to the defence capability of the Pakistan Navy,” Mr. Bashir said.
A combination of surface-to-air missiles was tested, the navy said in a statement.
The “fire and forget” missiles are equipped with highly sensitive infrared homing heads that can intercept high speed aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.
These weapons give the navy the flexibility to operate with various missiles and strengthen the ground-based air defence, the statement said.
The area of responsibility of the navy’s Air Defence Battalion stretches from Sir Creek in the east to Jiwani in the west, it added.
Officials said the induction of modern weapons and equipment will augment the navy’s ground-based air defence capabilities against hi-tech aircraft and missiles.

Pakistan win men's squash team gold

GUANGZHOU: Aamir Atlas Khan avenged his singles final loss to Mohamad Azlan Iskandar as Pakistan won the men’s team title Thursday, preventing Malaysia from sweeping the Asian Games squash golds.
[But world number one Nicol David grabbed her fourth Asiad gold medal as she powered Malaysia to a 2-0 win over Hong Kong in the women’s team final.
It was only Pakistan’s second gold of these Games after the women’s cricket title. It was also their second squash gold since the racquet sport made its Asiad debut in 1998 when they won the men’s singles.
“I feel really fantastic because I defeated Iskandar,” the 20-year-old Khan said after whipping his Malaysian rival 14-12, 15-13, 11-4.
“After losing to Iskandar in the singles, I was mentally down and thought to myself that we could not get to the gold medal.
“My coach taught me a few things to prepare myself mentally and physically. I don’t want to mention them because this is confidential.”
The squash team events were held for the first time at the Guangzhou Games.
In the first men’s match against Malaysia, Farhan Mehboob breezed past 2002 and 2006 singles champion Ong Beng Hee 11-4, 11-4, 11-7.
Khan then went tit-for-tat against Iskandar to take the first two sets 14-12, 15-13. He took the third set 11-4 when a visibly tired Iskandar dropped his racquet in a return effort.
In the women’s final, Low Wee Wern saw off 2002 Asiad women’s champion Rebecca Chiu 11-4, 7-11, 11-6, 11-9 in the first match.
David, who had already defended her singles crown, then defeated Annie Au 11-8, 11-7, 11-6 in a repeat of the women’s final.
“It’s a great feeling,” said David. “Everybody just kept working all the way. We have a strong team and we just needed to push out.”
“No doubt they have a great team,” added David, who has won the World Open singles title five times, the last three in a row.
“They have the level of squash to reach the top 20.”
Low, currently ranked 16th in the world and three places above Chiu, said: “I knew it was going to be tough.”
The 27-year-old David added that she would keep on playing for “at least another five years.”
“Hopefully I can push it for seven-eight years,” David said. “But this game is intense and I’ll really have to pay attention to recovery and keeping away from injuries.”
She added she would build a squash academy after her retirement and “try to develop girls’ squash not only in Malaysia but around Asia and the world.”]

Pakistan Won Gold in Hockey after 20 years

[GUANGZHOU: Fired-up Pakistan annexed the Asian Games men’s hockey gold medal after 20 years with a convincing 2-0 win over Malaysia in the final on Thursday.
Veteran Sohail Abbas put Pakistan ahead with his team’s first penalty corner in the 26th minute, before striker Rehan Butt increased the margin three minutes after half-time.
It was Pakistan’s eighth Asiad hockey gold, ending a drought that stretched back to Beijing in 1990, and handed them their first major title since winning the World Cup in Sydney in 1994.
Pakistan ended the year on a high after a disappointing eight-month period in which they finished a humiliating last at the World Cup in March and took sixth place at the Commonwealth Games in October.
The Pakistanis kneeled in prayer after the final whistle, before lifting their Dutch coach Michel van den Heuvel over their shoulders to loud applause from the stands.
Pakistan captain Zeeshan Ashraf said he was at a loss for words to describe his feelings at winning a long-awaited title which gave his team a direct entry to the 2012 London Olympics
“It’s our turn to celebrate,” said Ashraf. “Taking the gold after 20 years was important, but I am happier that we have also booked a place in the Olympics.
“What can I say about my team? They were just brilliant. We came here to win and achieved our target. Hopefully the past will be forgotten.
“Our country is facing so many problems that it needs moments like this to celebrate. I am sure our win would have brought smiles on the faces of all Pakistanis.”
Malaysia, often dubbed the sport’s perennial under-achievers, had to settle for silver in their maiden appearance in the title clash after winning the bronze medal six times.
The entire Malaysian team, barring Sikh player Baljit Singh, shaved their heads in a practice called ‘nazar’ to ward off evil spirits in the final, but failed to produce the spark that won them the semi-final against India.
Amin Rahim, whose two late goals sank India, faltered in all three penalty corners his team earned in the second half.
Malaysia had gone into the final as the only unbeaten team in the competition with four wins and a draw.
“It is disappointing to lose,” said striker Faisal Saari. “But look at it this way – we won six bronze medals earlier, now we have taken the silver.
“I am sure we can only get better after this.”
Meanwhile, India returned to the Asiad podium after missing out in Doha four years ago when they defeated favourites South Korea 1-0 in the bronze medal play-off.
Tushar Khandekar netted the winner four minutes into the second session as India dominated the lacklustre Koreans through the 70-minute encounter.
India had not won an Asiad hockey medal for the first time in Doha and paid the price when they failed to qualify for the Beijing Olympics two years ago.]

T20 revange

"Pakistan clinched 2 match series 2-0 and took the revenge of T20 semi final.


If Pakistan are a confidence team, their Twenty20 efforts over the past two days augur well for next week’s first Test. A day after Pakistan ended their 12-match losing stretch against Australia across all formats, Mohammad Aamer helped them begin their own winning streak with an 11-run victory that brought 2-0 series triumph. Tests are a different story, but their Twenty20 form has given the group a spark.
There was a distinct sense of déjà vu after Monday’s game; again there was a big crowd of Pakistan fans, again Pakistan scored around the 160 mark and again Australia’s batsmen were tied down and couldn’t lift their tempo for a successful chase. The last pair was left needing 19 from the final over and despite a six from Dirk Nannes, they came up short.
Aamer made important late runs and then removed Australia’s openers, but Pakistan had useful contributions from all their key men. Shahid Afridi made a quick 18 and grabbed two wickets, Kamran Akmal, Salman Butt and Umar Akmal all chipped in at the top of the order, and Shoaib Akhtar and Saeed Ajmal were hard to get away.
The Rawalpindi Express was out of steam on Monday but had gained momentum 24 hours later. Akhtar has been driving around Birmingham in a red Ferrari over the past few days and perhaps the speedy number inspired him, for he was comfortably the quickest bowler in the match and regularly hovered around 95mph.
A couple of sizzling bouncers whizzed past the faces of Australian batsmen but the only man to fall to Akhtar was Tim Paine, who skewed an ugly swipe to mid-off. Akhtar had begun by conceding a pair of fours in his opening over as Michael Clarke showed the sort of Twenty20 form he has not displayed in recent times.
Australia had rested Shane Watson, so Clarke took it upon himself to open the innings, finding the gaps and clearing the infield several times with well-judged chips and drives. Clarke had motored to 30 from 17 deliveries when he played on to Aamer, and the bowler was so pumped at his success that in his follow through he leapt in celebration and crashed into the departing Clarke.
Aamer immediately apologised and the men exchanged a friendly pat on the arm, but Clarke was frustrated with himself for failing to push on. It was Aamer’s second wicket – he had already trapped David Warner lbw for 1 – and he went on to finish with 3 for 27. James Hopes (30) and David Hussey (33) worked the ball around through the middle overs but boundaries were few and far between, and too much work was left too late.
Australia had set themselves a task by allowing Pakistan to reach almost the same score as won them the game on Monday. A late 20 not out from Aamer was especially valuable and included a pair of sixes off the debutant spinner Steve O’Keefe and David Hussey. The spinners bowled well, and O’Keefe finished with 3 for 29, which was an impressive return for a man who hadn’t played a Twenty20 for his state for nearly 18 months.
Shahid Afridi and Umar Akmal provided a key partnership for Pakistan; their 30-run stand included one monstrous six from Afridi, who slapped Shaun Tait straight back over the bowler’s head. The ball cleared the construction area, put a cameraman at risk, and exited the stadium to the roars of the Pakistan fans.
Nannes (3 for 30) collected them both in consecutive balls in the 17th over, Umar (25) caught and bowled when his top edge flew so high that almost any member of the infield could have run in and claimed it, and Afridi caught behind for 18 next ball. Already, Butt and Kamran Akmal had given them a strong start with a 61-run combination.
Pakistan clinched 2 match series 2-0 and took the revenge of T20 semi final.
The left-arm spinner O’Keefe struck in his first over when Butt top-edged a sweep and was caught at short fine leg for 31. Kamran followed soon afterwards for 33 when he skied a pull off Mitchell Johnson and was caught by Clarke running back at midwicket. O’Keefe had given Australia an inroad into the middle order, but they couldn’t make it count.
If Pakistan were surprised by the selection of O’Keefe, they must have been even more taken aback at Clarke’s choice of opening bowler. David Hussey sent down the first over – the first time Australia had opened with a spinner in a Twenty20 international – and it was a success, a wicket-maiden that included Shahzaib Hasan lbw trying to slog-sweep.
The day began in triumph for Australia; it ended in jubilation for Pakistan. It has also set the scene for a fascinating Test series."

PAKISTAN MONUMENT: Minar E Pakistan


“Nations make monuments, because they teach and ennoble, help make nations. They bring back the past and animate us with heroes to be remembered, dreams reclaimed and glories re-enacted. They remind of us the good olden times, of noble triumphs and great events,   of never-changing tides and torrents of history. Monuments are not for the flippant or the profane. Because they represent and even recreate important personalities and deeds, they entail a serious lexicon when described.”
Monuments for the great and the grand; no one ever built a monument for a gnat.
It is said that history –including monuments—is where the dead speak to the living. Maybe that is why many take it as a grave—no pun intended—matter. But it should not always be humourless or sombre. After all, even the dead deserve a break. And no less joyous is to read historians who wrestled with the past in the spirit of enlightenment fun.
Today, history is also a bruising secular affair where even heroes, however awesome, or precisely because they were awesome, are subjected to blasphemy. Sacrilege is slammed on the great and scorn poured on the venerable but no one on the red-hot furnace of veracity or truth, in which no one can be a Torquemada of the mind.
Indeed the modern day witches , academic or lay ,receive acclamation if their potion proves efficacious or correct , exposing the hero as a heel , or with feet of clay , or one who as fortuitous or accidental . Or justifies another who has been viciously reviled as actually worthy of the most deafening applause.
Wit and lightness are as much a part of history as glory and grief. But monuments with a humorous touch obviously cannot be the fad. Why could not a light hearted status be welcomed as a novelty, acceptable both to the whim of the authorities or to the promulgations of art? They could lighten, at times, the arcane burdens of history. And they would always be there for the delectation of the passerby, in crisis as well as calm. For unlike flesh and blood, they do not decompose. And consequently, nor does the memory they seek to preserve.
And who were those heroes? Dr. Allama  Iqbal who first gave the idea of a separate Muslim country for the Muslims of the British India. , The Father of the Nation ( Quaid – i – Azam) Muhammad Ali Jinnah, great men and women, yes but also the little ones, those who are lost in the group, the crowd , the masses , those who are without courage of honour – and tragedy or sacrifice . Some say that individual heroes, who often come from the elite, may become passé’. Disraeli had gloated that “the world is for the few and for the very few” Mao countered that “the masses and the masses alone are the motive force in the making of world history. Their ears are past, but not their imperatives and imponderables, for in history there are problems that are bigger than solutions. In fact, they should not be called problems, but realities which only other realities can replace.
Because everybody dies, a transient presence in a transient world, the fate of great leaders at a certain extent that of a nation they lead, are finally resolved not by politics but by biology. It is not mere wordplay that leads to the phrase “final solution” in the human lexicon. What is at issue is what happens before death when solutions are never final because new problems always arise.
Individualist rejoices in the steady growth of freedom, and they look to a future when they will enjoy so wide latitude for free existence that the old repressions will be like vanished nightmares, almost unreal or phantasmagorical in this viciousness. But will this give way to renew despotisms – and a new kind of hero?  Can a hero as individual survive? Those who constitute the March 23, 1940 Lahore resolution at Minar E monument are crowd of Great men some are unidentifiable as individuals. Will the turning points in history now be more often the work mainly of multitudes?
But speaking of the distant past, why belabour the superfluous —that it was the workers, not Shi Huang -Ti, who physically built The Great Wall of China; that it was the stonemasons and the rest, not the pharaohs, who constructed the pyramids? That , in discussing the “Great Man Theory of History making “, Bertold Brecht asked if there was no cook in Caesars’ army , and if  it was only the tears of the Spanish Kings that fell the sinking of his fleet?
Orthodox individual heroes normally do not appear in a truly free and democratic society, where there is nothing much to be heroic about. It is the Totalitarian regimes, left and right, which provide the occasion or the necessity for them. Communists., deceived by  their phrase” People’s Democratic Republic” because it was not really the people’s and what was “democratic” in it was that everyone –without exception – can be extirpated while making only the first motions of heroism, or even while merely in the stage of contemplating it. One can even be doomed without contemplating anything. The levelling was even more horrifying because communism, a personal vision is, by definition, heretical. And yet, the non-communists world is not precise, too, for its much – vaunted republicanism may be representative geographically but not in class or sectoral terms.
The fascist Franco was, in comparison, the epitome of candour. He grandly announced “we do not believe in government through the voting booth. The Spanish national will has never been expressed through the ballot. Spain has no foolish dreams “He shot all heroes within sight, and for them no monument was possible.
Cultural determinism may be all-embracing but it is not all-powerful. Men have imagination and creativity .They have personal will and, if they are not defeatist, they have inner freedom in the most enslaved circumstances. And it is not impertinent to say that they also have courage.
It is from the wellsprings of the past, with the freshness or its eternal waters that a nation drinks to revive its old and faltering heart. Monuments are a fountainhead of its reinvigoration, and they help supply nutrients to bind the sinews of National cohesion. They prove that a nation has heritage and history —and memory, and one without memory is without hope.  The past is not merely a vanished tableau. It is the bedrock of the future.
A monument is less for the individual than for the collective psyche. That is why it usually stands not in a private sanctum but in public setting within the easy view of all. It is normally on high ground or platform, a source of pride and power, at once a shared spectacle and a shared experience. They represent heroes of Pakistan not only for its entire citizen but they stand equal of heroes in other lands. No challenge obtrudes on the universality of their cause except in the vainly disputations.
This is not chauvinism but only a confident proposition based in historical merit. Quaid – i – Azam) Muhammad Ali Jinnah, a world class genius who strode Pakistan’s historical landscapes like a benign colossus, Dr Allama  Iqbal, the crucible of the elemental fire in the sea of glacial submission to Allah , the Mozart of his peoples’ communal sonatas , and the resolutions thundering Beethoven.
While only a fool would reduce the status of heroes to a competition of who has more and better contributions of ideas. The non heroes who will presumes to be their derogatory critic, and condemns them without intellection or caution, should be reminded in moments of danger these great men performed more intrepidly than the critics past and present who have shed no blood or sweat to back up their own sanctimonious words.
Character is not only destiny. It is definition. It involves not only deliverance or damnation, but the nuances of deliberation and decision. Fate is eternal, but first must come CHOICE, and sometimes CHANCE. Man does not live by character, nor must he be judge by destiny alone. Heroism is associated with the idea of good in conformity to The Holy Quran, as opposed to evil in metaphysical terms. There are no monuments to evil, at least to what is perceived as such.
Pakistan have been under great emotional or psychological pressure, this impelled every citizen to understand that there is a HERO in every individual, that on March 23, 2010 every Pakistani had to make a brave and inescapable decision.
It must be stressed that the Revolution is not only their heroic age. Pakistan , it is often said , is a  history of continuous struggle for freedom , freedom enjoyed , freedom lost , freedom regained , lost again , pursued again, regained , lost again. Dr. Allama Iqbal said “It is by rising to a fresh vision of his origin and future, his whence and whither, that man will eventually triumph over a society motivated by inhuman competition and a civilisation which has lost its spiritual unity by its inner conflict of religions and political values. This unending pulsating rhythm of Pakistan freedom struggle has been the distinctive character of Pakistan’s’ national life for centuries, and in the withering process not a few larger-than-life heroes Pakistan have produced but many.
Pakistan have suffered more miseries from the European invaders, Consumerism, imperialism and terrorism, they have been badly battered repeatedly, and culturally marinated. They have been occupied, but in the real sense Pakistan remained unvanquished. The foreign entities may destroy their monuments, but not the memory.
Pakistan heroes have been fighting for freedom. To them freedom is more important than life itself, the latter is nothing without the former. Because of this, Pakistan’s history hinges on the twin values of sacrifice and valour in the Islamic pursuit of freedom. Dr. Allama Iqbal, an ardent advocate of the concept of human freedom and evolution explains the concept of tawh?i?d beautifully when he says, “Reality is essentially spirit,” yet he qualifies his belief by mentioning that there are degrees of reality reflecting degrees of spirit. He writes:
Indeed the evolution of life shows that, though in the beginning the mental is dominated by the physical, the mental as it grows in power, tends to dominate the physical and may eventually rise to a position of complete independence…
Life can be sacrificed for freedom, but freedom cannot be sacrificed for life. Every individual has the Goal and duty of safeguarding that freedom. Even if it causes him his life. ” the metaphysical ego is the bearer of two main rights that is the right to life and freedom as determined by Divine Law. ”Dr. Allama Iqbal, believed that behind the process of evolution is the vital impulse (Bergson’s elan vital) of ‘ishq or love which is metaphysical in nature and which makes life grow towards higher evolutionary GOALS.
It is love that imparts colour to the tulip
It is love that agitates our life.
If you could rip open the heart of the earth
You would see love’s blood coursing through it.
Beneath this visible evolution of forms is the force of love which actualises all strivings, movement and progress.  Things are so constituted that they hate non-existence and love the joy of individuality in various forms.  The indeterminate matter, dead in itself, assumes or more properly is made to assume by the inner force of love, various forms and rises higher and higher in the scale of beauty.
But this “forward push to life cannot be called creative unless hitched to some goal.
Iqbal believed that evolution has a goal. “In fact, the evolution or dissolution of life is dependent on how far the individual chooses to use his or her creative will and power.  The perfect man of Iqbal’s conception is of muja?hid, one who is ready and willing to face the problems of life, culture and society as he is to face the problems of after-life, spiritual welfare and death.”
From March 23, 1940, until the present, there have been few moments when Pakistan had a respite from their freedom struggle. And embedded like a galling, ever present thorn in every Pakistani flesh were and still are the recurrent outbreaks of internal and external conflicts and strife. This craving for fratricidal destruction is Pakistan hitherto ineffable mark of Kabil. External forces divide and impose policies on the government, who chose wilfully to and not by accident, “to walk in the darkness than in light.”
A people who need heroes cannot build a monument without a subject, cannot have a subject who was un-heroic. History therefore must provide the subject before art can provide the form. Although, a nation may have a tenacious memory and even more tenacious ambition, it can have no monuments if it has no heroes. In addition, the artistry of a monument is only a small aspect. It is not the substance. What matters most is the man not the monument, the meaning not the matter.
The past has already lost print as its exclusive rendition. This century and the next, the printed world will give way to the electronic image. Communication will largely be in visual flashes rather than in syllables. Is the age of banality at hand? Will history become insipidity? It may become artless—or on the other hand acquire character of a new art form? Or it will still remain a sculptural perfection signifying human, freedom and Islam in the eyes of Allah and the rest of the world? Would the memory of Dr. Allama Iqbal, Quaid – i – Azam) Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the great men and women, will become relics in a strange epoch of new paradigms? Would arduous nationhood be a thing of the past and their parched sacrifices be regarded as crude baubles? Would the joys become outdated, the sorrows and sadness not even recalled in the consciousness of the future Pakistan? Would both memory and monument become obsolete? The choice is yours! On March 23, 2010 Pakistan will celebrate 70 years of the passing of Lahore resolution … The essence of freedom struggle will constitute the substance of the celebration. Rise and become part of this Monumental Memory.
“Arise and soar with the suns new born rays
To breathe new life into dying nights and days.”
-Allama Iqbal

Defeat or Luck whatever we accept it

We saw luck on last Friday night against Australia. No doubt the Green shirts performed extremely well but the were not having there luck with them or the Second cause with us can be the lack of prayers or may be someones huge proud that put back all the prayers of Pakistanis.

We as a Pakistanis appreciate our team for such a nice and extreme performance after a long time we are not going t criticize any thing because we did a nice job we'll carry it but also pray From ALLAH for the next time's win. We accept our defeat with open heartily once again because it was not for us.
We love our team and give them a warm welcome on return. We went down with dignity haven't yet proven a sand wall.
We struggled almost we did it that's all.

Ending with the simple pray
                                          MAY ALLAH BLESS US WITH SUCCESS INSHA-ALLAH

PAF road test

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) today claimed to have landed two of its fighter aircraft on a public road, taking-off again, after refueling and rearming. The Associated Press of Pakistan said the PAF ’successfully validated its concept of fighter operations from the motorways and highways when its two fighter aircraft landed at a point on motorway’.

Samaa TV reported that the aircraft in question were the Meraj (sic) and the F-7P (Chinese version of the MiG-21). From the photograph carried, the Meraj looks like a Mirage III or possibly its later variant, the Mirage 5.

The report also says ‘9,000 feet (2743.2 meters) long and 103 feet (31.3944 meters) wide piece of Islamabad-Lahore motorway was used as runway’ also adding, ‘blocks dividing the motorway were removed and tops of trees grown on an area of 3,000 ft on both sides of motorway were trimmed’.

While this may appear to be of use for the PAF in times of emergency, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is not very impressed. “They’ve converted the road into an airfield and are using the length of a normal runway. What’s the big deal about landing and taking off from that?” asks one IAF officer. “In any case,” he explains, “IAF pilots train for landing and taking from Parallel Taxi Tracks that are around 75 feet wide – half the width of a normal runway.
Edvard de la Motte, former Head of Design, Saab Military Aircraft and now a Director at Gripen puts things into perspective. He says that because of its Electrical Flight Control system, the Gripen can land and take-off on a strip with a length of 800 meters (2625 feet) and a width of 9 meters (30 feet). “The earlier Saab aircraft, the Viggen and the Drakken were also designed to operate from public roads with a length of 800 meters and a width of 17 meters (56 feet),” says de la Motte.

SAB 2000 an AEW&C

An airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system is an airborne radar system designed to detect aircraft. Used at a high altitude, the radars allow the operators to distinguish between friendly and hostile aircraft hundreds of miles away. AEW&C aircraft are used for defensive and offensive air operations. The system is used offensively to direct fighters to their target locations, and defensively to counter attacks. It can also be used to carry out surveillance, and C2BM (command and control, battle management) functions.

AEW&C is also known by the older terms "airborne early warning" (AEW) and "airborne warning and control system"
Modern AEW&C systems can detect aircraft from up to 250 miles (402 km) away, well out of range of most surface-to-air missiles. One AWACS plane flying at 30,000 feet (9,100 m) can cover an area of 120,460 square miles (311,990 km2). Three such aircraft in overlapping orbits can cover the whole of Central Europe.[1] In air-to-air combat, AEW&C systems can communicate with friendly aircraft, extend their sensor range and give them added stealth, since they no longer need their own active radar to detect threats. However, by the nature of radar, AWACS aircraft can be detected by opposing forces beyond its own detection range. This is because the outgoing pulse reduces in strength the further it travels. Therefore, a signal which is intended to go out and be reflected back must be strong enough to cover twice the distance between the sender and the target.

The Saab 2000 AEW&C airborne early warning and control aircraft is a variant of the Saab 2000 regional transport turboprop aircraft equipped with the spine-mounted Saab Systems Erieye PS-890 side-looking reconnaissance radar.

The first customer for the Saab 2000 AEW&C, the Pakistan Fiza'ya (the Pakistan Air Force), placed the order on Saab, based in Stockholm, in June 2006. The first of five aircraft was rolled out in April 2008 and is scheduled to enter service in 2009. Thailand announced the selection of the Saab 2000 AEW&C in June 2007.
The aircraft, fully equipped for airborne early warning and control, can also be used for national security missions, border control, airborne command and control, disaster management coordination and for emergency air traffic control.
Saab 2000 construction
Saab Surveillance Systems is the lead contractor for the Saab 2000 AEW&C programme. Saab Aerotech is responsible for the development and modification of the Saab 2000 regional aircraft to the AEW&C configuration. Six other Saab business units are also contracted for major elements of the programme.


The outer wing sections have been strengthened, as has the roof of the fuselage, to accommodate the weight of the Erieye antenna and its housing. The vertical tail area has been increased to provide improved stabilisation.development and modification of the Saab 2000 regional aircraft to the AEW&C configuration. Six other Saab business units are also contracted for major elements of the programme.development and modification of the Saab 2000 regional aircraft to the AEW&C configuration. Six other Saab business units are also contracted for major elements of the programme.
Main cabin
The main cabin is fitted with five mission operator consoles on the starboard side. The windows on the starboard side of the main cabin have been removed. The cabin is air-conditioned and fitted with an active noise cancellation system.
The aft section of the main cabin accommodates fuel tanks and mission equipment. Two auxiliary fuel tanks are installed on the starboard side in the mid fuselage section immediately aft of the mission consoles.
The mission operator consoles perform: system and sensor management; mission planning and simulation; track data processing; asset management and control; identification and allocation. The display systems incorporate digital maps and use high-resolution flat-panel colour displays and touch input display controls. The main cabin aft section also accommodates the electronic warfare equipment, the Erieye equipment and the Erieye power units.
Radar
Saab Microwave Systems (formerly Ericsson) is the lead contractor for the Erieye surveillance radar. The Erieye radar is operational on a number of other aircraft including the Saab 340, Embraer R-99 and Embraer EMB-145. Erieye is an active phased array pulse Doppler radar operating in the 3.1GHz to 3.3GHz band. The radar is operational from three minutes after take-off and during climb and provides an effective surveillance area of 500,000km².
The Erieye radar has an instrumental range of 450km and detection range of 350km against a fighter aircraft sized target in dense hostile electronic warfare environments and at low target altitudes. The system is capable of tracking multiple air and sea target over the horizon and provides above 20km altitude coverage, 360° coverage and has sea surveillance capability. The radar incorporates an identification friend or foe interrogator. The system comprises an active phased array pulse Doppler radar with a secondary surveillance radar.
The fixed dual sided electronically scanned antenna array is installed in a rectangular housing, dorsally mounted above the fuselage.

Electronic warfare suite
The aircraft's electronic warfare suite is based on the Saab Avitronics HES-21 electronic support measures (ESM) and self-protection suite. The HES-21 also provides a ground-based support system (EGSS), which provides mission data for the aircraft electronic warfare system and for analysis of recorded data.
Electronic support measures
The electronic support measures (ESM) system comprises digital narrow band and wide band receivers and associated antennae, providing close to 100 % probability of intercept (POI). The digital receiver is equipped with interferometer antenna arrays.
The ESM obtains the electronic order of battle (EOB) data and intercepts, characterises and identifies signals, defines their direction of arrival, generating and displaying warning information. The ESM system operates autonomously and allows real time ESM analysis and presentation to the ESM operator on board the aircraft. ESM data is recorded during missions for post mission tactical and technical analysis. Information is transferred to other onboard systems including the command and control system and the radio data link-controller.
The radar receivers cover low band (7GHz to 2GHz), mid band (2GHz to 18GHz) and high band (28GHz to 40GHz).
The digital RF receiver provides very high sensitivity and selectivity and uses fast Fourier transforms (FFT) and channelisation signal processing techniques. The ESM's wide band and narrow band receivers provide 360° coverage, and close to 100% probability of intercept. The system provides high sensitivity and selectivity in dense and hostile signal environments.
Self-protection system
The self-protection system (SPS) comprises: defensive aids control system, radar warning, laser warning, missile approach warning and chaff and flare dispenser systems. The self-protection suite provides selection and, in automatic mode, the initiation of the chaff and countermeasures sequences.
The laser warning system is based on the Saab Avitronics LWS-310 laser warner operating in the 0.5 to 17 microns wavelength bands. Spatial and spectral coverage is provided by an array of three sensors on each side of the aircraft.

The missile launch and approach warner (MAW) is based on the Saab Avitronics MAW-300, which can simultaneously monitor and track up to eight threats. It has four sensors, two on each side, and each with 110° azimuthal coverage to provide the overlapped 360° spatial coverage.
The chaff and flare dispensing system (CFDS) comprises a dispenser control unit, (CFDC) with a cockpit mounted display and control panel, defensive aids suite computer with a threat library database, two BOL electromechanical dispensers and six BOP pyrotechnical dispensers.
The BOL dispenser is a high-capacity, 160-cartridges, electro-mechanical chaff dispenser. The BOL dispensers are installed in the fairings under the wingtip-mounted radar warning pods. The dispenser incorporates vortex generators which provide chaff blooming characteristics and a chaff cloud Doppler response.
The BOP dispenser is a pyrotechnic dispenser carrying Nato standard rectangular cartridges or magazines of 39 1in² cartridges. The dispenser has the capability to dispense different ammunition types concurrently. The BOP dispensers are housed on each side of the underside of the fuselage to the aft of the wings.
Engine

The aircraft is fitted with two Rolls-Royce AE 2100A turboprop engines developing 3,095kW
