Really curious such armament for a helo of 4.3 tons ! right now i have see only AH-64, Mi-28, Ka-52, Mi-24 armed as it but they do max 10 + tons ...

To consider also heavy Attack helos i have mentionned armed with more heavy missiles, longer range and heavier warhead.

Z 19 in ground attack configuration 8 X AKD 9 + Rocket Pod + Machine gun pod. A complete package what is missing is AA missile Ty 90. For a 4 ton heli it can carry a lot of load. Beautiful shot
The Z-19 is an updated modified version of the

from UH-1).I am not sure if it has armor plating?. Henri claim 180 produced sofar making it 24 aircraft per year
Poly Tech signed contract with HAIG to purchase 5 Z-19E helicopters, this is also 1st export order of Z-19E.
Here is Henri K take on the subject. No he doesn't know the first customer of Z 19

The Chinese Z-19E helicopter seems to have recently been sold -

between Harbin Aircraft Industry Group (HAIG) and PolyTech at the 4th China Helicopter Exposition (中国 天津 国际 直升机 博览会) currently being held in Tianjin.

The subsidiary of the AVIC Group, which specializes in the production of helicopters and light transport aircraft, indicated that delivery could take place in early 2018. According to MA De Quan (马德 权), HAIG's chief engineer, a dozen countries already shown interested in the Z-19E.

The Z-19E is the fully export-oriented version of the Z-19 , a lightweight and reconnaissance helicopter used by the Chinese Army to assist another heavier combat helicopter, the Z-10 .

Milvus , or 鸢 in Chinese, made its maiden flight on May 18 this year (see our record "

"). It can carry up to sixteen Air-Air and Air-Sol missiles as well as rocket baskets and gun pod under its two wings for reconnaissance, anti-tank or air combat missions.

The characteristics of the Z-19E are generally identical to its elder who measures 12 meters long and 4 meters high. The first has a rotor diameter of 12.01 meters, with a maximum take-off weight of 4,250 kg, or 250 kg less than the Chinese army version.

But unlike the Z-19, which has entered massively into the Chinese Army, with more than 180 aircraft produced to date, the Z-19E is not equipped with the mast radar for shooting, like the AN / APG-78 Longbow of the US Army.

It is also unclear whether AVIC will offer in package their new airborne drone SW6 which made its first appearance last year on another lightweight Z-11WB helicopter at the Zhuhai show.

The official presentation says little about this drone, and simply indicates that the helicopter can manipulate the drone to increase its reconnaissance radius.

As for the first export client of the Z-19E, no indication has been revealed for the moment by the Chinese industrialist as the custom wants.

Interesting read on millimeter wave radar click the link for complete article

Radar technology, using radio waves to detect vehicles and pedestrians, is expected to improve the functionality of monitoring systems in order to prevent accidents at intersections. Panasonic has developed high-precision and wide-angle-scanning radar technology using high frequency radio waves. This technology can detect objects up to 40 meters away, such as pedestrians and bicycles, separated by as little as 20 centimeters, in only 0.1 seconds. By applying this technology to the 79GHz band of millimeter-wave radar, we can expect the evolution and promotion of traffic safety support systems such as surveillance sensors, to prevent accidents in intersections.

Prototype of 120-degree FOV 79GHz radar

Instantly detects approaching cars and people, even in bad weather
79GHz millimeter-wave radar is standardized as high-resolution radar technology (ARIB STD-T111), with a sensor that detects location and speed of objects by measuring the reflection of emitted radio waves.

Compared to other means of detecting obstacles (LIDAR, cameras, etc.), millimeter-wave radar is relatively unaffected by rain, fog, or backlighting, which makes it particularly suitable for low-visibility nighttime and bad weather. This technology is attractive as a means for detecting pedestrians and bicycles.
Utilizing Panasonic's original digital coding technology, this radar technology makes it possible to detect pedestrians or bicycles with a resolution of 20 centimeters, even at a distance of up to 40 meters, in less than 0.1 seconds.

In addition, controlling the interference between multiple pieces of millimeter-wave radar equipment makes simultaneous operation possible, allowing for wide-angle detection. As a result, it will be much easier to choose locations to install the equipment at intersections.

Coded pulse modulation technology, utilizing complementary coding, and multi-dimensional electronic scanning technology

Unlike automobiles, which reflect radio waves strongly from their metal surfaces, highly sensitive detection of less-reflective pedestrians requires some way to reduce the radio wave noise reflected from automobiles. Complementary codes, a type of digital codes used in wireless LAN technology, allow the range side lobes (false image which appear in front of and behind a target's position), which increase the noise level of strong radio wave reflections, to be reduced to be zero in principle. This coded pulse modulation technology, incorporating complementary codes, has been applied to 79GHz radar, which can use bandwidth greater than 1GHz.

With this technology, in addition to the improved sensitivity necessary to detect pedestrians up to 40m way, as well as high dynamic range reflection measurement technology which reduces reflection noise from automobiles to less than 40dB, Panasonic has achieved a distance resolution of 20 centimeters, 2.5 times that of conventional technology. In addition, by utilizing the "Doppler effect," based on the shortening of waves as a source gets closer and the lengthening of waves as it gets further away, it can detect speed with a precision of within 1km/h.

In addition to these highly-sensitive reflection intensity measurement technologies, Panasonic has also developed a new radar signal processing method based on electron beam scanning.
This has enabled the measurement of distance, angle, and speed, independently and in high resolution, allowing for reliable detection of pedestrians and bicycles even right beside automobiles.
