The Ka-31
is designed for the radar protection of air and sea space, the early detection
of ships or low-flying aerial targets (winged missiles, helicopters, planes).
The helicopter's equipment identifies the detected targets, and captures
details regarding their location and trajectory, transferring information
on the radar situation to vessels and armed forces' command posts. The long-range early warning system was developed on the basis of the Ka-29 military transport helicopter. It can be deployed on ships and coastal aerodromes. The helicopter can also be used for the air-defence of ground troops. Kumertau Aviation Production Enterprise is a Russian Helicopters company and the largest industrial enterprise in Kumertau, manufacturing high-tech equipment for helicopters and other purposes. KumAPP specialises in coaxial rotor system helicopters. It produces all the Ka-27 and Ka-31 models used by the Russian Navy, as well as the civilian multirole Ka-32A11BC and the new Ka-226 and Ka-226T |
