MD Helicopters Inc (MDHI) has developed a second-generation of its MD 530 Little Bird that it intends to offer as an interim solution while the company continues to develop the MD 540, a spokesperson disclosed on 23 January.

MDHI的发言人在1月23日表示，麦道直升机公司（MDHI）已研发出了MD 530小鸟直升机的第二代改进型，用于在该公司研发MD 540的时期起过渡作用。

Speaking at the IQPC International Military Helicopter conference in London, Perry Orr, Managing Director Middle East and Africa at MDHI, said the company is building on the already available and fielded MD 530 (he designated this aircraft MD 530G [Generation] I, saying that the more commonly used MD 530F moniker was in fact for the commercial variant helicopter) with the improved MD 530G II. This has been done to fill a capability gap while work on the MD 540 (now designated MD 540A for the same reason) continues.

在IQPC国际军事直升机会议的时候，负责掌管中东和非洲事务的总经理佩里奥尔表示，麦道直升机公司已经在可用的MD530（这里特指MD530GⅠ，因为用于商业买卖的直升机更多是MD530F）的基础上将其改造成为MD530GⅡ。这一举措已经完成，目的是为了弥补在研发MD540（这里特指MD540A）时的产品漏洞。

"[The MD 530G I] was great at the time and met many of the customer's requirements across the globe, and still does in some cases," he said. "Technology is proceeding so quickly, though, that we felt it was very important that we announce and roll-out a second-generation of the 530G as an interim solution while we continue to develop our 540 attack aircraft."

“（MD530G1，写罗马数字太麻烦，干脆以阿拉伯数字取而代之，我相信广大军迷会理解的。—编者注）在当时是非常优秀的，与全球也取得了很好的销量，在某些情况下现在还是这样。”他说（这里指上面的那个总经理)。“虽然科技发展的如此之快，但我们坚信在MD540的研发时期推出MD530G的改进型是一项很重要的决定。”

According to Perry, the primary differences between the two generations of the MD 530 are an increased take-off weight that comes with the provision of a new high-capacity landing gear, as well as enhanced systems and weapons capabilities.

据佩里所说，这年代飞机最大的不同就是因为起飞重量的增加而产生的新的起落架，同时也得到了电子系统的提高和武器系统的进步。

"The second-generation we are currently rolling out is much more advanced than our original configuration. Now, it is equipped with a mission computer and a four-station [weapons] plank [compared to two-station for the earlier aircraft] to provide a much greater capability with the weapon systems. We have added a high-capacity landing gear to increase the maximum take-off gross weight from 3,100 lb [1,406 kg] to 3,750 lb [1,701 kg], with 3,350 lb [of this] internal," he said, adding: "That's a significant increase that equals more fuel, ammunition, and mission capability."

“这一改进型我们可以确定比原型要先进得多。现在，它装备了任务电脑和四个武器挂架（与之前的两个挂价相比），用于显著增强武器系统的威力。我们加强了起落架来增加最大起飞重量，从原来的1406千克到1701千克，空重为3350磅（兄弟们自己换算吧，5th赶时间）。”他说（还是那哥们）。“这增加了其载油能力，载弹能力和执行任务的综合能力。”

The new weapons plank and increased weight capacity have enabled MDHI to integrate the M3P 12.7 mm (.50 calibre) machine gun (the first-generation MD 530 was fitted with the smaller M134 7.62mm [.30 calibre] Gatlin gun), and laser-guided rockets. "We are currently working with the lock-on-after-launch systems of [laser-guided] rockets, as they are easily fired from the 70 mm Hydra rocket tubes. Our intent, though, is to integrate any such system that the customer desires. What you won't see is Hellfire integration, down to weight constraints on the 530. It will be on the 540, though," Perry said.

这一系列的改进让MDHI可以往上装M3P12.7mm机枪（第一代MD530装备的机枪是M134 7.62mm加特林机枪）和激光制导火箭。“我们正积极地在研发发射后不管的火箭，让他们能够轻易地从70毫米“九头蛇”火箭发射架上发射。我们的目标，就是安装所有顾客需要的系统。不过你是看不到地狱火导弹的，因为重量限制。不过我们会装在MD540上。”

Improvements in the cockpit include a large-area multi-functional display unit on the left, which displays all of the armament management systems, with the Garmin 500 systems on the right displaying flight information for the pilot. Perry noted that these positions can be reversed, depending on how the customer wants the aircraft to be configured.

驾驶员座舱的改进包括左侧的大面积多功能显示器，显示武器装备管理系统，右侧的Garmin500系统（导航用的吧），给飞行员显示飞行信息。佩里提醒说这些位置是可以颠倒过来的，取决于顾客的实际情况。
Whereas the MD 530G I had no forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, the MD 530G II comes with an L-3 Wescam MX-10D electro-optic/infrared sensor and target designator (although the company can integrate the customer's turret of choice). An optional helmet-mounted display is also being integrated, although this is really being pushed for the MD 540 platform.

鉴于 MD530G1没有前视红外（FLIR)传感器,MD530G2会装备L-3维斯卡姆MX-10D光电/红外传感器（什么玩意儿）和目标指示器（这也可以根据顾客的需求进行调整）。可选的头盔显示器也将被集成在一起，虽然这已经被MD540使用了。
According to Perry, all of these enhancements have greatly improved the MD 530. "There's now a much greater capability that you can take forward into the fight with the second-generation aircraft," he enthused.

据佩里所说，这些所有的改进已经完全改变了MD530。“现在有很多非常棒的功能被加到了第二代产品之中了。”他说。

MDHI is currently undertaking "a full-blown effort" to have the MD 530G II completely tested and ready for delivery by the final quarter of this year, according to Perry. "There's nothing that stands between us in getting that aircraft into customers' hands," he said. While Perry declined to name potential customers for the MD 530G II, he did say that MDHI is in discussions with a couple of potential operators in Africa and the Middle East.

佩里表示，MDHI已同意“进行全面的工作”来让MD530G 2在今年的最后一个季度之前完全完成测试和准备交付工作。“没有什么能阻挡我们向顾客交付飞机，”他说。当佩里在列MD530 2的潜在客户时，他确实表示了MDHI已经跟几个来自中东和非洲的潜在客户谈过了。

On the subject of the MD 540A, Perry said that MDHI now expects certification in 2015 to have it ready for delivery in fiscal year 2016, but added that no customers have yet been signed up. "The 540 is a developmental effort at this point that is a little too far out for military customers to commit," he explained.

有关MD540A，佩里说MDHI希望在2015年获得认证并在2016财年做好交付准备，不过他说，目前没有任何顾客签合约。“现在的MD540还没有到军方用户可以签约的时候。”他解释说。

The MD 540A builds on the MD 530G in that it is fitted with a more powerful Rolls-Royce M250-C47E3 turboshaft engine (rated to 600 shp), a six-bladed main rotor (compared to five blades for the earlier aircraft) taken from the MD 600N helicopter and rated up to a 4,100 lb (1,860 kg) maximum take-off weight, and the ability to carry the AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missile.

MD540是在MD530G的基础上制造的，装备了更强大的罗尔斯·罗伊斯（劳斯莱斯什么的）M250-C47E3涡轮轴发动机（600马力），用在MD600N上的六桨旋翼（之前的是五桨旋翼）和1860千克的最大起飞重量，并且能够携带AGM-114地狱火空对地导弹。
