The main characteristics of the tornado salvo fire system. Jet Systems of National Silent Fire and Foreign Countries (Rating) Russian RSW

The reactive systems of salvo flame (RSZO) - weapons known even to amateurs and people who are not interested in military affairs. At least because it is precisely for them that the famous Guards Mortar "Katyusha". After all, whoever said, but it was "Katyusha" (BM-13) became the first real RSSOs, embodying all the main TTH of this type of weapons: small-sized, simplicity, the possibility of simultaneous defeat of goals on significant areas, surprise and high mobility.

After 1945, the Soviet Army adopted a number of samples of reactive artillery, developed taking into account the experience of the past war, such as BM-24 (1951), BM-14, 200-mm four-tested BMD-20 (1951) and 140- MM 16-BM-14-16 RSW-14-16 (1958), as well as its towing 17-barrier version of the RPU-14 (on the Pushni R-44 faucet). In the early 50s, a fairly powerful and long-range RSZO "KORSHUN" was developed and tested, but did not go to the series. However, all these plants were, in fact, only the variations of the BM-13 "Katyushi" - that is actually the battlefield machines.

How glad I am falling "hail"!

Finally, in 1963, was put into service first in the world second generation system of RSZO. It was the world famous BM-21 "Hrad" by a 122 mm caliber, which is not equal in the world in terms of the level of technological. Technical solutions that have arisen during the development of "Grad", one way or another, are repeated in all existing systems in the world - for example, a "folding" plumage that provides the compactness of the guide block.

And the main thing is perhaps the dignity of the car, which is advantageous distinguishing it from, which sin to tate, many samples of domestic weapons, is a large modernization reserve. For example, over the past 40 years, the freakue "Grad" managed to increase from 20 to 40 km. Modifications of the system for airborne and Navy were created. In 1965, for three months, a light portable RSZO "Hrad-P" was commissioned with a range of 11 km. Soon she passed the "battle tests" in Vietnam, according to the results of which the partisans of Vietnam set the saying: "How glad I am falling" Grad! ".

AND today, "Grad" is the most effective system volley fire in the world for the totality of technical, tactical, economic and military-logistics characteristics. It was not accidentally copied - legally and illegally in a variety of countries. For example, in 1995, it was 32 years after the creation - decided to put Turkey on the flow.
Back in 1964, when the production of "Grad" was just beginning to be mastered, his designer Ganichev began developing a more powerful system of salvo fire. Its development ended in 1976 - so the troops received the "hurricane" with a range of 35 km and with cassette ammunition.

Without stopping at what was achieved, at the end of the 60s, NGOs "Alloy" NGO began designing a 300-mm RSW with firing range up to 70 km. However, they were denied financing - the Minister of Defense Marshal Grechko personally pointed to the Lobbists of the RSZO from the Graus that the Soviet budget is not bottomless. As a result of the work on the creation of third-generation systems, they were delayed for almost 20 years.

Only in 1987, 300-mm RSZO was admitted to the Soviet Army Tornado»:
- the shooting range increased to 90 km;
- topographic binding began to be carried out automatically through satellite systems;
- a system correction system of a rotating reactive projectile was applied using a gas-dynamic steering wheel controlled by an individual electronic unit;
- "Tornado" was equipped with a fully mechanized charging system using disposable transportation containers equipped at the factory.
This weapon can be considered the most powerful non-nuclear weapons system in the world - slip of six "Tornoda" is able to stop the promotion of the whole division or destroy a small city.
The weapon turned out so perfect that many military specialists talk about the redundancy of the "Tornger". And, by the way, in the NGO "Alloy", according to experts, a new RSZO is being developed, which is still the conditional name "Typhoon". Everything rests only in money - which in the budget now much less than in the time of Marshal Grechko.

American universal

After World War II in the United States paid little attention to the development of the RSZO. According to Western military theoretics, this type of weapon could not play a significant role in the future third world. Almost until the beginning of the 80s, American RSWs were inferior to the Soviet RSW. They were considered as a weapon almost exclusively the battlefields and support of the infantry and rather were the development of the direction that was represented by German Olovelver. Such, for example, there was a 127-millimeter "Zonya". What is curious, the main technical requirement was the universal nature of the systems of salvo fire, equipped with ordinary aviation jet shells.

Only in 1976, by order of the military department, the development of a new RSZO began to eliminate the lag from the "potential enemy". So the MLRS appeared, developed by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control and adopted in 1983. We must pay tribute - the car turned out to be very good and convenient, in terms of automation and autonomy of superior Soviet "Hurricanes".

The MLRS launcher does not have traditional permanent guides that replaces the armored box farm - "swinging part" of the starting unit where one-time starting containers are set, so that MLRS can easily use the shells of two calibers - 227 and 236 mm. All control systems are concentrated in one machine, which also facilitates combat use, and the use of M2 Bradley's infantry combat vehicles increased the safety of calculations as the chassis. It is American RSWs that have become major for NATO allied countries.

In recent years, NAO appeared several types of new reactive systems, noticeably superior to previous, - 40-bodily WS-1, 273-mm 8-bodily WM-80, 302-mm 8-bodily WS-1 and, finally, the largest largebar in The world is 400-mm 6-bodily WS-2.
From this number, even the domestic "tornado" 300-mm 10-bodily A-100 with a firing range of up to 100 km should be highlighted from a number of indicators.
In short, the PRC has a very efficient and powerful weapon in the face of RSZO.

European, and not only

However, not only large military powers produce RSZO. The military of very many countries wished to get such a powerful means of warfare, which is also not subject to a variety of international restrictions.

The first were gunsmiths FRGIn 1969, the 110-mm 36-bubbling Lars in the Bundeswehver 110-mm, and it is still consisting of armed in two modifications (Lars-1 and Lars-2).

For them followed japaneseIn 1973, following the usual national policy, to do everything alone, which began production of 130 mm RSZO, two years old called "Type 75".

Almost at the same time former Czechoslovakia. Developed an original RM-70 machine - 40 guide caliber 122-mm, equipped with the world's first automatic recharging device (in another embodiment, two 40-charging packets guide on one platform).

In the 70s in Italy Created a series of RSZO FIROS caliber 70-mm and 122-mm, in Spain - Teruel caliber 140 mm, with anti-aircraft weapons.
Since the beginning of the 80s in South Africa 127-mm 24-barreral RSZO Valkiri Mk 1.22 (Valkyrie), specially designed for South African TVD, as well as MK 1.5 Middle Fight RSZO is available.

Not differing as if developed engineering thought Brazil Created in 1983 of the RSZO Astros-2, having a number of highly interesting technical solutions and able to fire five types of rockets of different caliber - from 127 to 300 mm. Brazil also produces SBAT RSZO - a cheap starting unit for firing Aviation Nurses.
IN Israel In 1984, it was adopted by the RSW LAR-160 on the chassis of the French Lung Tank of AMX-13 with two packs of 18 guides.

Former Yugoslavia Released RSZO series - heavy 262-mm M-87 Orkan, 128-mm M-77 Oganj with 32 guides and automatic recharge system (similar to PM-70), as well as light PSZO Plamen, licensed copy of the Chinese "type 63". Although their production is discontinued, but in service with them consist and were actively used in the Yugoslav conflict of the 90s, showing good results.

DPRK Operatively copied (simplifying) the Soviet complex "Hurricane", creating a 240-mm RSW "Type 1985/89". And, as in this country, it was accepted, began to sell it to everyone who can pay, and then sold the license to his long-time partner - Iran. There the complex was redone once again and received the name "Fajr". (By the way, RSZO Iran It produces a firm entitled "Shahid Baghery Industris" - this is exactly the case, this is not a joke.) In addition, Iran produces RSZO arash with 30 or 40 guides of a 122 mm caliber, very similar to the Grad system.

Even Egypt Since 1981, he developed the SKR ("Falcon"), a 30-boron pirated copy of the same "Grad".
From the most recent stands out indian 214-mm Pinaka Non-Oil Fire Reactive Fire System, which was the result of many years of efforts of the Indian MCC to create their own production of RSZO. The system is designed to perform combat missions in specific Indian conditions, with a focus on complex relief and mountainous terrain, as well as based on the requirements of the maximum quick change of positions. The military tests began in February 1999, and in the summer of the same year, combat use was held - during the Indo-Pakistan conflict in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Weapons of past battles

It must be said, many military theorists of our time consider the RSZO a peculiar deadlocking of weapons, whose flourishing falls on the era when the strategists were preparing for the Third World War. And in the current local conflicts, their power, as already mentioned, is very excessive. Especially since at its cost and complexity, modern RSWs approach operational tactical missiles and enough personnel require enough personnel.

For example, in the course of the Arab-Israeli conflicts, even Syrians, not to mention the militants "Hezbollah", managed to miss when shooting RSZO not only in Israeli troops, but even in the city quarters.
However, although the RSZO and not the "gods of war", but still not going to retire.

Foreign jet systems of salvo

Successes Soviet Union The creation of the RSZO, undoubtedly, had an impact on other states, the most developed of which only in 1970-1980. Could create modern samples of this formidable weapon.

RSZO is one of effective tools Field artillery of ground troops. The most important advantages of this weapon are the sudden and high density of fire in the area of \u200b\u200bthe objects of both in the offensive and in defense for any weather and at night. With the advent of cassette combat units (BC), the RSZO was able to apply a continuous lesion of the live strength and technique on the entire distribution area during the shooting of a volley. The positive qualities of the RSZO also include the ability of maneuvers with fire, high mobility of self-propelled starting settings (PU). Reduced by their vulnerability from fire artillery and air strikes, simplicity of design, relatively low cost.

One of the main tasks of the RSZO abroad is considered to be a struggle with armored vehicles with cassette BC, equipped with self-propelled, self-leading, cumulative-fragmentation cassette elements (CE) and anti-tank mines (PTM).

Rocket systems of salvo fire are in service with the US ground troops. FRG. Japan, Spain, Israel, China, South Africa, Austria, Brazil and other countries.

A bit of history

For the first time, the RSWs were used in combat conditions by the Soviet Union at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (BOB). In turn, foreign samples of reactive artillery, which appeared during the Second World War and in the post-war period, were significantly inferior in their tactical and technical characteristics of the Soviet RSW. German towed six-character mortars were significantly less effective than the Soviet RSSO BM-13 both by the magnitude of the volley and on maneuverability. In the US, field jet artillery began developing from 1942

In the post-war period, the reactive artillery begins to be introduced in many foreign armies, but only in the 1970s. Germany became the first NATO country, in which the land forces was sent to the land forces, which is responsible for its tactical and technical characteristics to modern requirements.

In 1981, MLRS was adopted in the United States, the production of which began in the summer of 1982. The army equipment program was calculated for many years. Mostly, the production of the MLRS system was carried out by the factory of the company "Wort" in East-Camden, pcs. Arkansas. It was planned for 15 years to produce approximately 400,000 missiles and 300 self-propelled launchers. In 1986, an international consortium for the production of MLRS MLRS was organized to equip the NATO block, which included US, FRGs, Great Britain, France and Italy. At the same time, 8 period from 1981 to 1986. FRG, France, Italy, and others, continued to complete their programs to create RSWO own structures.

RSZO MLRS (USA)

The MLRS system is designed to damage armored vehicles, artillery batteries, clusters openly located live strength, air defense, command items and communication sites, as well as other purposes.

MLRS MLRS includes self-propelled launchers (PU), rockets in transport and starting containers (TPK) and fire control equipment. In the artillery part of the PU, mounted on the tracked base of the American BMP M2 "Bradley", includes: a fixed base installed on the chassis case; The swivel platform with a swinging part that is fixed on it, in the armored box of the farm of which are two TPK; Charge and guidance mechanisms. The required rigidity of the installation on the firing position is ensured by turning off the subressing of the chassis.

The armored cabin places the calculation of three people: commander, gunner and mechanic driver. There is also mounted fire control instrument, including computer, navigation and top acceptance tools, as well as a control panel. MLRS Fire Control Equipment can conjugate with automated field artillery fire control systems. Overpressure and filtering installation created in the cabin protects the calculation from gases formed during shooting, and from affecting factors when applying atomic and chemical weapons.

MLRS launcher does not have traditional guides. Two TPKs with rockets are placed in the armored box farm of the swinging part PU. They are a package of six fiberglass tubular guides mounted in two rows in a box farm made of aluminum alloy. The TPK is equipped with rockets at the factory and sealed, which ensures the preservation of missiles without maintenance for 10 years. Pre-preparation of missiles to shooting is practically no need.

The fire control system uses signals from the Satellites of the Global Navigation System of the United States, allowing the RSZO crew to accurately set their position on the earth's surface before launching missiles.

After administration of the fire control unit for firing the PU guidance, it is carried out by a command using epic-hydraulic power drives. In case of failure, hand drives are provided.

Rockets consist of a BC, RDTT and the stabilizer drop-down in flight.

The PCR MLRS can be multipurpose or anti-tank. Multipurpose BC is designed to defeat the live strength, fire facilities and armored cars. Such a BC is equipped with 644 cumulative-fragmentation Ke M77 with 70 mm armor-proof. The anti-tank BC is equipped with six SADARM self-propelled CE (armrancy - 100 mm) or 28 anti-tank Minds of the AT-2 type (armoredness - 100 mm). At the same time, work continued to create CE TGCM. Wat, as well as fuhaasny Ke and antipractore min.

In 1990, the US Army adopted an ATACMS tactical army missile (Army Tactical Missile System), intended for use with MLRS RSSO. In 1986, LTV (USA) received an order for the development of this rocket, and in February 1989 its mass production began. Events in the Persian Gulf led to accommodation in 1991 of these missiles in Saudi Arabia.

In 1984, in relation to the equipment of the BC Rocket atacms, the ELECTRONICS Systems branch of the American company Northrop began developing Ke Wat (Brilliant Anti-Tank). Abbreviation "WAT" is translated as a "bat" and carries a certain semantic value. Like bats use ultrasound for orientation in space and Ke Wat has acoustic and IR target detection sensors.

Ke Wat is able to detect and accompany moving armored armored vehicles with the subsequent Writing of the IR sensor to guide the vulnerable zones of tanks and other armored vehicles. Cassette elements WAT are designed for the Equipment of the ATACMS BC (BLOCK 2). A reciprocating from the BCH KE VAT is starting free drop. The mass of each element is 20 kg, length 914 mm, diameter - 140 mm. After separation from the KE WAT rocket uses an acoustic sensory system consisting of four probes, the action of which is differentiated over time to detect and track the briefs of armored vehicles, then included in the nose of the IR GSN KE to guide to the armor, which is amazed using cumulative BC. C WAT can affect the targets in complex meteorological conditions at low cloudiness. Strong wind and even with high dustiness of the atmosphere.

The MLRS system was created by LTV Missiles and Electronics Group, which includes ATLANTIC Research Corporation (manufacturing RDTT), Brunswick Corporation, Morden Systems (create fire control systems) and Sperry-Vickers (PU drive manufacture), for detecting Goals for large ranges The American firm Boeing Military Airplane has developed a remote-manned Robotic Air Vehicle-3000 (RAV-3000) running using MLRS. The DPL RAV-3000 is equipped with an air jet engine. RSZO is equipped with twelve DPLs that can be started simultaneously. Before starting the DPL, is programmed to perform various tasks, including the search for goals taking into account the electronic counteraction. The DPL is placed in the container at the factory and can be stored for five years without maintenance.

Production of MLRS MLRS for NATO

The United States does not miss the slightest opportunity to make a weapon on trade. An exception is not the shares of Americans to introduce MLRS RSSO to all NATO countries. It was planned in advance that until 2010 this system would be united only for the American army, but also for all countries of this military unit.

In 1986, within the framework of the NATO block, an international consortium for the production of MLRS MLRS was formed. In which the US, Germany, Great Britain entered. France and Italy.

The mass production of MLRS systems in Europe is carried out by the TACTICAL Missiles Division branch of Aerospatiale (France) under the US license.

ATACMS rockets in the Persian Gulf

Events in the Persian Gulf clearly showed how effective the use of RSZO was there. During the fighting from the RSZO, over 10,000 ordinary missiles and 30 ATACMS missiles were issued with a range of 100 km.

In total, in the war of the Persian Gulf of Armored Goals, 30 ATACMS missiles were issued (Block 1). Batties of Block 1 missiles contain 950 cumulative-fragmentation cassette elements M74. The trajectory of the ATACMS rocket flight is not completely parabolic: on its descending section, the rocket is controlled by an aerodynamic method, which prevents the discovery of the opponent of the start point. The direction of movement of the rocket when a shot can deviate from the direct direction to the target at an angle of up to 30 degrees, in azimuth. The height and time of the release of the cassette elements of this rocket is programmed.

Before starting hostilities, ATACMS rockets were stationed in Saudi Arabia, from where they were launched on air defense facilities and rear services in the enemy. At the same time, the combined use of RSZO with Batars M109 and M110 has always been observed to ensure the immediate fire support for the advanced parts. Representatives armed Forces Iraq reported that the action of such a fire was simply emptying, as after week bombardment in-52. So, in the conduct of a controlarian fire from the RSSO, 250 people were destroyed by one battery.

Based on the experience of warfare in the Persian Gulf, the maximum firing range of MLRS MLRS when using Rockets with CE has been increased from 32 to 46 km. To achieve such a range of shooting, it was necessary to reduce the Length of the BC by 27 cm, and the charge of solid fuel to the same extended. The BC XR-M77 (with an increased range) contains two layers of KE less (518 pcs.). But a decrease in the number of CE is compensated by increasing the shooting accuracy, which ensured the same effectiveness of the new rocket. Experienced new rocket samples were tested in November 1991 at the White Sands (USA) polygon. Development of this rocket was caused by military actions in the Persian Gulf Region

Self-propelled PU system HIMARS

Unloading Self-propelled PU System Himars from C-130

Light RSZO Himars

At one time, the American company Loral Vought Systems was engaged in the creation of an artillery missile system of increased mobility (Himars), designed to meet the needs of the US Army in the Light Mobile MLRS Mobile version. which can be transported by the C-130 Hercules aircraft.

The existing installation of the MLRS MLRS can be transported only on aircraft C-141 and C-5, but not on the C-130 aircraft due to its large overall dimensions and mass. The possibility of transporting the HIMARS system on the C-130 aircraft was demonstrated on a rocket landfill in New Mexico. According to the company LORAL, it will take 30% less flights to translate the Himars battery, compared with the carriage of the existing MLRS RSW.

The HIMARS system includes a middle tactical truck chassis (6x6) weighing 5 tons, on the aft part of which the PU with a container on 6 MLRS missiles is mounted. The existing MLRS RSW has two containers with rockets and a mass of 24889 kg, while the Himars system has a lot of only 13668 kg.

The containers of the new system are the same as in the MLRS mass production system. The Himars system has a single block of six MLRS missiles and the same characteristics as the MLRS RSW system, including SUO, electronics and communication systems.

Development Trends of Foreign RSW

The creation of the European Consortium MLRS-EPG led to the replacement of obsolete RSWs in NATO countries with the MLRS system, it can be assumed that the MLRS RSWO will be imposed and put into service not only by NATO countries. For this reason, the RSZO, created in Germany, France, Italy, and other countries, after making the MLRS has become the property of history. All of them were inherent already known common constructive schemes.

Starting plants consist of artillery and chassis. The artillery part includes: a package from a certain amount of trunks, a swivel frame, a tumba, lifting rotary mechanisms, electrical equipment, aiming devices, etc.

Rassets RSZO have a solid fuel engine running on a small trajectory site. The struggle against armored vehicles led to the equipment of rockets with cassette BC with cumulative-fragmentary KE either with anti-tank mines. At one time, remote mining in European countries paid great attention. The sudden mining of the area is revealed or makes the maneuver of the tanks of the enemy, creating at the same time favorable conditions for defeating their other anti-tank agents setting the angles of guidance and their recovery from the shot to the shot automatically with the help of power drives.

Among the disadvantages inherent in RSW, especially old structures, you can call such: a significant scattering of ammunition: the limited possibility of maneuvers with fire due to the difficulties of getting small shooting ranges (since the rocket engine works until the fuel is completely burndown): in constructive rocket more complex than the artillery shot ; Shooting is accompanied by well-noticeable demuscating signs - flame and smoke; Significant breaks between volleys due to the need to change the position and recharge the starting plants.

Consider the features of some foreign RSZO. created to the penetration of MLRS to various countries

RSZO Lars (Germany)

In the 1970s. Germany was the only NATO country that had in service with the land forces a multi-vellenged Lars Lars (Leichte Artillerie Raketen System). RSZO Lars is a 110-mm 36-bodily self-propelled starting setting. which was oatsrabatan in two versions, with one package of 36 stems and with two packages of 18 stems in each.

As a chassis, a 7-ton army car increased passability was used. The driver's cabin has a slight reservation for preventing windows from gas jets. The LARS Lars rockets were equipped with the following ammunition: Anti-2 anti-tank mines, fragmentation elements and smoke raids.

But despite the modernization, by the 1980s. RSZO Lars for the shooting range, caliber of rockets and the effectiveness of their action for various purposes no longer complied with new requirements However, as a means of a quick formulation of mine explosive proceedings before the upcoming tanks of the opponent of the RSZO Lars continued to be in service with the Army of the FRG.

As a result of the modernization carried out in the early 1980s, the Lars RSZO received the name of the Lars-2 new system is also mounted on a 7-ton car of increased passability. The Lars-2 RSSO is equipped with devices for checking the technical condition of rocket and shooting control. The maximum range of shooting is 20 km.

The Battery Battery Lars-2 has a Fer system, which includes special target rockets, a radar tracking the trajectories of their flight. The radar in conjunction with the computing unit is mounted on one car. One "Fera" system serves 4 PU in the BC of the target missiles, reflectors and amplifiers of radar signals are installed. In a sequential interval, 4 missiles are carried out. Behind the paths of their flight automatically monitors the radar. The average value of four trajectories computing block compares with the calculated and determines the amendments that are entered into the setting of the aimed devices. Thus, errors are taken into account when determining the coordinates of the target and firing position PU, as well as deviations of meteorological and ballistic conditions at the time of shooting from valid.

Brazilian RSW Astros II

The Armediary of the Ground Forces of Brazil RSZO Astros II provides shooting three types of rockets of various caliber (127, 180 and 300 mm) depending on the type of purpose. Rockets have a fragantive fugasic or cassette BC. The Battery of the RSZO has in its composition a fire control machine, from four to eight PU and one transport and charging machine for each installation. As the chassis of all components of the battery, the chassis of a ten-way TECTRAN car in high passability is used. On the fire control machine installed: Swiss radar of fire adjustment, computing device and radio communication.

Brazilian company AVIBRAS During the operation "Storm in the desert" in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Persian Gulf, did not miss the case for testing its RSW Astros II, which was equipped with three types of BC. RSZO Astros II can fire three different types of missiles: SS-30. SS-40 and SS-60 for various shooting ranges. These rockets are carrying double-acting ammunition (to combat armored machinery and vibrant) with an effective area of \u200b\u200blesion, depending on the installation of an electronic fuse to a certain height of the triggering. Avibras has developed three new BC, allowing you to increase the types of archery affected on the large ranges that. According to the company. It can to some extent to replace the application in such cases of aviation. The first option is a fugasic incendiary BC, equipped with white phosphorus, to combat the living force, quick formulation of the smoke curtain and destroy the material objects. The second option of the BC is designed to be installed for three different types of mines: anti-personnel with a radius of action of 30 m. To defeat the material objects and anti-tank mines, providing breaking through 120 mm armor. The third Option of the BC ensures that there is a hostilities for the use of airfields by an opponent and carries a significant number of cassette elements with a slow-acting fuse and a powerful charge of TNT, providing the breakdown of reinforced concrete of a trap in more than 400 mm. In this case, the radius of the crater formed in concrete coating is 550-860 mm, and the depth of the crater is 150-300 mm. In addition, according to the approval of the company, such ammunitions are also allowed to defeat aircraft, hangars and equipment for the restoration of aviation technology.

Spanish RSZO TERUEL-3

In Spain, in 1984, RSZO TERUEL-3 was created, including two starting containers (20 tubular guides in each), fire control system, top acceptance and communications, and meteorological equipment. The RSZO control equipment and the calculation of five people are placed in the armored cabin of the car of high passability. The RSZO includes an ammunition enclosure car capable of transporting 4 containers of 20 rockets. The fire control system includes a computing device that defines the source data for firing and the amount of ammunition depending on the characteristics of the target. The rocket can be equipped with an agricultural fugasal BC or a cassette BC with cumulative-fragmentary CE or anti-tank (anti-personnel) mines.

In total, Spain's land forces were previously scheduled to put about 100 Teruel-3 systems.

PU contains two replaceable packets with 20 tubular guides in each, lifting and rotary mechanisms, as well as a rocket start system. The PU can be placed on a car or tracked armored personnel, or on a trailer. The maximum range of shooting is 34 km. The BC rockets can be fragantive fugasic, fragmentation or cassette, equipped anti-personnel or anti-tank mines.

Ways to increase the combat characteristics of foreign RSZO

The main directions of development of foreign RSZO are: an increase in range and improving the shooting accuracy; raising fire performance; expansion of the number of tasks solved by the RSZO; Improving mobility and combat readiness.

The increase in the shooting range was carried out by increasing the caliber of rockets, the use of high-energy rocket fuels and the use of lightweight BC. As a rule, with an increase in the diameter of the engine, the weight of the hard fuel increases, which increases the shooting range so, the increase in the caliber of the American MLRS MLRS from 227 to 240 mm made it possible to increase the range of firing to 32 km. In another case, due to a decrease in the mass of the BC from 159 to 107 kg, it was possible to increase the range of shooting up to 40 km.

The increase in the accuracy of the shooting was achieved due to the creation of cassette homing and self-propelled elements, as well as the use of automated control systems (ACS) with Fire Battery Battery, the use of special target rockets, supplying PU with automatic rehabilitation systems, improving structures and technologies for manufacturing starting installations and unmanaged missiles.

The Fire Battery Battery Battery significantly reduces the time to prepare for the opening of fire and increase the accuracy of firing due to less "aging" of data on the coordinates of the target. After receiving the order for the defeat of the target, its coordinates are entered into the computing system. The fire control system indicates the PU, which will most effectively be able to perform the task, calculates for it the installation of the aimed devices and fuses of the BC. Transferring them through the channels of a coded radio.

The use of devices for automatic entry amendments and installation of a sight to compensate for tilt PU on the ground eliminates the need for its horizontal and hanging on jacks or other reference devices. It is enough to turn on the brake device of the chassis and turn it off its subressing. At the same time, the time of translating the PU from a marching position in combat and, on the contrary, is reduced to 1 min. What is very important for the RSZO. Heavily demassing itself at the time of the volley firing.

The dynamic loading of the launcher during the volley changes its position on the ground and causes elastic oscillations of structures, often with an increasing amplitude, as a result of which the pointing angles are knocked down. The use of a system of automatic recovery of the alerting angles of the PU from a shot to the shot increases the accuracy of firing and reduces the dispersion of missiles when shooting a volley.

The increase in the fire performance of the RSZO was carried out by the mechanization of charging and recharging PU. Automation of guidance and starting systems, applying automated control systems for fire, CF type selection devices from the number of charged in PU rockets.

Charge mechanization is based on the use of pre-equipped packets of guide, automotive cranes, cranes of transport and charging machines. The most promising solution is the charging device, which is part of the design of PU.

Expansion of the number of combat missions solved by the RSZO is achieved. Mainly the creation of various types of basic and special combat parts of rockets. To increase the effectiveness of missiles, most combat parts are performed by cassette.

The increase in mobility and readiness of the RSZO is ensured by the creation of self-propelled launchers based on tracked or wheeled machines of high passability, using modern top acceptance tools, the use of high-speed translate mechanisms from the hiking position of the wagon and back, mechanization of the process of charging PU and automation of guidance and control systems.

The land forces of NATO countries having modern RSWs are capable of:

Effectively affect rockets with cassette RF significantly superior numerical enemy artillery;

Install on high removal anti-tank mine harnesses;

To amaze with the help of self-dispersion and self-propelled KE, the coming armored columns of the enemy.

Development of Russian reactive-artillery systems of salvo fire (RSZO)

A. F. Gorshkov

Analysts note that historically since the time of the legendary David, a long-lasting evolution in the development of the properties in terms of range and the effectiveness of the defeat against slingshot and the shield to modern long-range lesion systems has passed. War as this evolution gradually turned into an increasingly complex combination of maneuver and fire on the battlefield.

In World War II, Germany and the Soviet Union have developed as a whole pragmatic and efficient, but excellent one from another concept of war, maneuver and massive firepower. The German Theory of Blitzkrig envisaged operations of a deep invasion of the enemy's territory mainly on the basis of operational-strategic surprise. However, if the enemy defense was consolidated in advance and was well prepared, Blitzkrieg's strategy was useless and suffered defeat. The illustrative examples of this are the defeat of the German armed forces under the blows of the Soviet troops near Moscow in December 1941, near Stalingrad in December 1942 - February 1943. And under the Kursk in the summer of 1943

The Soviet strategic concept of "deep offensive operations" envisaged two phases of offensive actions: a breakthrough of the opponent defense front and the subsequent maintenance of deep maneuverable operations by focused efforts to defeat opposing troops of the enemy's troops. From the Soviet point of view, the first phase of the deep operation is an operational breakthrough - was considered the most important and critical for the success of the entire operation.

The German command, in contrast to the Soviet approach, in the opinion of analysts, in planning their operations, as a rule, did not attach much Phase "Breakthrough", based on prejudice that this breakthrough will be achieved by the very fact of the appearance and aggressive massive onset of German troops on a particular elected section of the front.

Analyzing the modern, persisting in the Russian army since the Second World War, the "deep operations" strategy, analysts were surprised that in the views and approaches of the Russian command since then almost nothing has changed and therefore, in their opinion, there is a great meaning to analyze this Russian Strategy re-against the background of modern and promising trends in organizing and conducting combat operations in the new generation wars.

According to Soviet views, a tool for the conduct of deep operations are tanks, and a tool for the operational breakthrough of troops - a warm and field artillery, in other words, a powerful fire impact on the enemy on a narrow front of the breakthrough.

According to modern American views, a tool of an operational breakthrough and achieving success in any military operation, the air is mainly a powerful fire impact by the impact forces of tactical and assault aviation. An example is the use of the US Commander and Coalition Forces by General N. Schwarzcompf of the Massive Aviation Offensive method, which provided a decisive breakthrough of troops in the "Desert Storm" operation in the war against Iraq in 1991, the operational breakthrough phase in this operation continued six weeks. For comparison, the Phase blitzkrieg German troops lasted only three days.

According to the Soviet strategy of the period of World War II, the successful solution of the task of the operational breakthrough was a massive artillery effect when interacting with tactical bomber and assault aviation.

There are two main ways of concentration of fire power:

Massage of artillery fire focusing the trunks on the breakthrough site;

Coordination of the maneuver with fires with the trunks of artillery batteries / groups from different firing positions and focusing fire on the specified part of the battlefield.

However, during the past war, the troops of the Red Army were weakly equipped with radio engineering and radio communications, especially at the level of grassroots parts and units. Therefore, the management and coordination of the focused fire of the bodily artillery groups, mortars and the reactive-artillery systems of salvo fire (RSZO) should be carried out on the Radio, but according to pre-agreed clear and stringent charts.

American troops were leading in the organization of artillery fire, possessing more advanced radio-media management and opportunities for the operational organization of array of artillery fire in support of infantry from afar, with closed positions, widely dispersed on numerous fighter positions on the battlefield.

The great advantage for the conduct of effective artillery fire was the deployment of posts of artillery observers on the advanced positions of troops. These observers have the opportunity to cause an artillery fire on the opponent of any battery. Stressing this position, the American retired Colonel R. Killerbrew, who served in his time as Deputy Director of the US Army ARMY After Next Program, wrote: "It happened that a simple observer lieutenant, having a control system, suddenly got the ability to organize a massive artillery array without delay Fire on the enemy on the whole front. " It was the artillery fire of the American troops, according to the colonel, the German troops were afraid more, and not the fire of other armies: "As soon as we found the Germans, we could immediately apply on them a focused crushing fire of artillery, and under favorable conditions and depending on the level of interaction with Tactical aviation on the battlefield was able to integrate aviation power and artillery strike. "

Achievements of the Soviet Armed Forces in the development of reactive artillery. To achieve a successful operational breakthrough of troops during a deep military operation, as the experience of American troops shows, the operational coordination of the fire widely dispersed on the battlefield is required in such a way that when shooting shells of batteries from different positions lay in one place in the arrangement of the enemy more or less At the same time. It is necessary to inflict the opponent with a maximum firing defeat, bring it into a shock state and ensure a successful breakthrough of troops at the appointed place and at the right time.

Soviet troops, not having such capabilities, found a solution to this most important task in creating multi-vectors and artillery systems of MLRS (Multiple Launched Rocket Systems) and massaging their fire at the narrow sections of the front in a short time. The famous Soviet reactive installations "Katyusha" and the so-called "Stalinist organs" - the reactive volleam fire systems by caliber from 82 to 300 mm - in the USSR were mastered by the industry, put in troops in huge quantities and allowed to bring on the enemy in the selected breakthrough points of thousands of shells with The monstrous pace of shooting. It should be noted that the Germans also created and put in troops a number of reactive systems of salvo fire of the family "Nebelwefer", but in significantly smaller quantities. The American army also experimented with similar 4-5-inch caliber reactive systems, but preferred the use of the bodily artillery.

It should be borne in mind that the usual artillery trunks and batteries of the RSZO (MLRS) shooting by unmanaged shells covering the sector of the upcoming breakthrough of troops, left behind the opponent's positions of the opponent, but at the same time only a small number of hundreds and thousands of shells struck the target. But with the massive application of the artillery fire, the enemy defense at a narrow section of the breakthrough was seriously suppressed and this was usually enough to achieve a breakthrough goal, as the experience of World War II showed. However, after this war, military specialists concluded that it is necessary to find an alternative to wasteful massage of artillery fire, find a way and weapons for accurate targeted defeat of the goals.

In the era of the "cold" war, the task was solved by the use of tactical nuclear weapons. But in the 70s, politicians and military returned to the concept of maintaining conventional (non-nuclear) wars and to resolve the problem of effective fire lesion and achieve a breakthrough of troops, the concept of "precision" (point) damage by controlled means of lesion - projectiles and rockets was developed.

This concept for the first time received permission in the Armed Forces of the USSR, where extremely effective multi-vectors of gallopy lamella type 9K58 "Tornado" with controlled reactive shells were created, and a new managed artillery ammunition with laser guidance for trunks was also adopted. and cannon field artillery. Thanks to large-scale military-technological progress in the Soviet Union in the 70s for weapons soviet army It was possible to consistently create and deploy a number of more advanced reactive-artillery systems of the RSZO (MLRS), starting with the well-known BM-21 system "Grad", which, however, still applied unmanaged rockets, practically identical to unmanaged reactive projectiles of the Great Patriotic War period. The BM-21 RSW-21 system was intended for massive fire in place targets. This system has become the standard weapons of the Soviet Army and the Armies of the Allies of the USSR on the organization of the Warsaw Agreement (ATS) and in many developing countries. Soon after the BM-21 "Hrad" in the late 70s in the Soviet Union, a more advanced multi-russian system of RSZO 9k57 "Hurricane" was created, which had two times more shooting range than the Grad system, but it was also based on the use of uncontrollable Jet shells. In the 1980s, in the Soviet Union, a fundamentally new system of RSZO 9k58 "Tornado" was created, in the reactive projectiles of which there were already simplified inertial navigation and stabilization systems (INS), significantly improved accuracy of the defeat of the objectives of rockets.

RSZO 9K58 was developed at the State Scientific and Production Association "Alloy" in Tula (which also created the preceding systems of the RSZO - "Grad", "Hurricane", "Prima"). In 1987, RSZO 9k58 "Tornado" was adopted by specialized brigades of the front-line level of the Soviet Army.

Brigade of jet systems 9K58 "Tornado" front-level level organizationally consists of three battalions (divisions) of the RSZO 9k58; Each battalion (division) consists of three mobile launchers (PU); The Battery of the RSZO includes two mobile 12-bodies with a 300-mm caliber and one transport and charging machine. As a result, in the composition of the battalion (division) of the three Batars of RSZO 9k58 there are six combat vehicles with PU (72 trunk), three transport and charging machines; In the brigade - 27 installations, including 18 combat PU (216 stems) and 9 rechargeable machines.

In 1989, an upgraded RSZO 9Q58-2 "Tornado" appeared in service with the Soviet Army, which gradually replaced older systems.

The rearmament of the rocket-artillery brigade of the frontal link of the Soviet Army to the modernized RSZO "Tornado" attached to the usual means of firing defeat fundamentally new combat capabilities - increased accuracy and range of massive fire impact and "precision" target defeat ranging from 20 to 70 km. Rocket and artillery brigades of the RSZO "Tornado" are intended to enhance armies and even divisions operating in the directions of the main strike or operational breakthrough. The main objectives for the damage to the RSW of this type are part of armored and mechanized troops, command points, tactical airfields and combat helicopters, positions of forces and air defense and other objects of high importance and value.

Currently, the RSZO Tornado system is in service with the Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian armies. A number of such systems are exported to foreign countries - in Kuwait (27 systems), UAE (6 systems).

In 2002, the Army of India conducted a series of shooting tests of the modernized RSSO "Tornado-M" with a system of automatic preparation of missiles to shoot, improved starting installation and increased up to 90 km firing range.

Finally, the final and established system of RSZO 9k58-2 "Tornado" includes:

9A52-2 combat machine (12 caliber 300 mm caliber) capable of shooting by any type of rockets;

Transport-charging 9T234-2;

Mobile command, management and communication with the information and management system "Vivari" (C) equipped with computers type E-715-1.1. The "Vivari" system was developed in the NPO "contour" in Tomsk; It consists of one or two computers to calculate the data coordinates, aiming and ballistic missiles for each PU. Mobile command post Equipped with radio communications, including satellite, with subordinate divisions and superior headquarters.

The 12-bubbling PU is mounted on a wheel chassis with a wheel formula "8x8", equipped with a powerful diesel engine, which provides a combat vehicle with increased cross-country-off-road and rough terrain.

Fighting machine "Tornado" is able to produce a volley launch of all 12 missiles for 38 s and cover with stages of volley at the same time area 672,000 m. "

High accuracy of lesion (maximum error - 220 m at maximum range; declared circular probable deviation of order

120-150 m) is provided by the system INS / gyrostabilization of missiles and guidance on the active portion of the rocket flight, and on the final portion - the rapid rotation system of rockets relative to the longitudinal axis. Starting rockets can be carried out directly from the CP car cab or remotely. For RSZO 9k58-2 "Tornado" created several types of managed missiles that can be launched from its PU:

Ur 9M55K, equipped with a cassette (cluster) head combat part with 72 combat elements (mass of 1.81 kg), which is designed to defeat live strength and unprotected objects;

Ur 9M55F, equipped with a separated fragmentary GBC (95 kg of explosive) for lesion of light armored vehicles, fortifications and vibrant strength;

The ur 9M55K1 is equipped with a container BGG with five armor-piercing elements "Motive-ZM", each of which is equipped with a two-channel IR search / homing system on a target for an attack on the weakly protected part of armored vehicles.

The submissile "Motive-ZM" is an option of a self-propelled ammunition with a SPBE-D sensory fuse, which are used for equipment of cluster aviation bombs. Each such combat element has a mass of 15 kg, dimensions of 284x255x186 mm; Sub-furnaces are thrown out of the container bgch and descend on the object from above with a parachute.

A two-channel IR system with a 30-degree viewing sector leads to the search for heat radiation purposes, primarily tanks; Finding a goal, the sensor sends a charge for its least protected upper part and undermines the charge charge. The sensor fuse is undermining the right charge at an altitude of about 150 m.

The warhead is equipped with a copper armor-piercing plate-rod 173 mm long and a mass of 1 kg, which, when exploding the body, the flight speed of 2000 m / s and the ability to punch with 70-mm armor at a strike at an angle of 30 °.

The following efficient managed reactive projectiles of the following types also apply to RSW 9Q58-2:

Ur 9M55C (S) 300-mm caliber, equipped with thermobaric GBC, designed to defeat unprotected live strength or troops in weakly protected shelters, as well as armored vehicles with lightweight armor protection. Thermobaric BGG has a total mass of 243 kg for centuries of 100 kg; The diameter of the volume of the thermobaric field during the explosion is 25 m, the temperature is over 1000 ° C;

Ur 9M55K4 300-mm caliber is equipped with container BGG for remote production of anti-tank mine fields and barriers. Each container BGG rocket is equipped with 25 anti-tank mines, each weighing 4.85 kg (MINA weight of 1.85 kg); The time of self-destruction of the mine field - 16-24 hours.

Tula NGO "Alloy" also developed a new managed shell 9M528 for use in the improved RSSO "Tornado-M". This rocket uses composite high-energy fuel, which allows you to increase the maximum firing range with rockets up to 90 km.

For the 9M528 projectile, two new navigation and guidance systems have been developed:

a) a full-scale inertial system (INS), working throughout the flight of the rocket launch before entering the goal, which made it possible to reduce the maximum error (deviation from the aiming point) at the maximum range of 90 km from the previous 220 m to about 90 m;

b) The system of adjusting the path of the radio flight during the observation period of the flying rocket with a radar.

Both of these guidance systems were tested, but, according to observers, none of them are adopted.

The authors in their review note that in recent years there have been reports on the development for the launch of miniature unmanned intelligence officers in the RSZO aircordes (Mini-UAV) type P-90, which are equipped with stabilized telecases and GPS / GLONASS navigation systems for conducting an exploration of the battlefield and transmitting the sedimentation in the form of a TV picture on the KP commander of the Tornado Community Communion in real time. P-90 miniature exploration, like 9m55K controlled rockets, has a range of 70 km; The exploration is able to transmit information for up to 30 minutes, and then self-diagnosed.

Managed artillery shells of high-precision lesion. Based on the same operational tactical requirements and technological concepts that were used to create managed rockets / shells and ammunition for the RSZO "Tornado" in the Soviet Union, and then managed artillery shells of the Krasnopol family / Krasnopol-M were developed in Russia and "Kitolov-2" for high-precision damage to point and low-dimensional goals / objects on high firing ranges. It is the managed high-precision means of defeat, as "Krasnopol" / Kitolov, according to specialists, are necessary at the critical stages of operation of the operational breakthrough of troops at the occurrence of the enemy's strong defense. High-precision means of lesion of increased shooting range make it possible to effectively destroy the most important and significant goals / objects of the defendant enemy, which can prevent the breakthrough and offensive actions of the attackering troops. These purposes include fortified bunker dots, fortified fire positions of artillery and other combat systems, buried tanks in the ground. In addition, such lesion means can also ensure the solution of combat missions of the breakthrough operation zone from the deployment of reserves and the gains of the gain of the defendant opponent. In actions to isolation of the combat operation zone, the efforts of high-precision weapons of defeat, as a rule, should be aimed at achieving the delay of the movement of the columns of tanks (efficiency is achieved by a point lesion of the front and end tank in the column or the destruction of the bridges on the route of the Movement of the Bronor Return of the enemy).

Insofar as high-precision weapon The lesions should be applied in the military operation of the enemy defense breakthrough and at its entire depth, the range of defeat with such a weapon should be at least equal to the depth of the actions of the agency for a breakthrough, that is, to make about 10-20 km. In this zone, the goal may be identified and prescribed for artillery or parts of the RSSO groups of intelligence and special purpose acting in the enemy's rear or in the advanced echelon of the breakthrough troops. In the conditions of the need for direct fire support for attacking troops at distances from several hundred meters to 5 km, the target for the defeat by high-precision shells can be assigned by artillery scouts of advanced echelons of the upcoming troops. Foreign military analysts believe that since in the Soviet, and now in the Russian army, fire support for the upcoming troops is carried out, as a rule, according to previously developed plans for artillery and aviation fire support, which are developed and approved by command at the front level, the "Krasnopol" ammunition should be applied Mainly on the direct requests of troops on the battlefield so that without delay to eliminate obstacles to the attacking troops.

In accordance with the operational requirements and needs of providing a divisional link of the troops with effective controlled means of fire impact on the enemy in the breakthrough of its defense, there should be commander of divisions with such means of lesions, therefore, 152 mm caliber caliber were elected as a combat system, which in Soviet troops were the basis of the divisional artillery (Divisional Arsystems). In terms of its dimensions, a 152-mm, a gobic shell allows you to place a laser control / targeting system in its housing.

A managed laser guidance projectile "Krasnopol" was developed since the end of the 70s in the Design Bureau of the Tula Instrumental Plant (CBP) - now the CBP of the State Unitary NGO.

The projectile developers have encountered a mass of technical problems, which has delayed the development of the project for 10 years. The greatest difficulty was the creation of a projectile control system / guidance system, which would withstand extremely high shock overloads when shooting a projectile. The laser guidance principle was elected designers, in which the system required the minimum necessary number of elements moving in it. The management / guidance system for the Gaubic Shell "Krasnopol" was ultimately created and was adopted by the Soviet Army in about 1987.

However, foreign experts find it difficult to determine the scale of mass production and supply to the troops of the Soviet army of managed shells with a laser guidance system, since already in the late 80s, the Soviet defense industrial complex began to experience serious difficulties in financing, which significantly limited the deployment of serial industrial production of managed ammunition and Arms in general.

Managed projectile "Krasnopol" ( russian index 2k25; Type ZOF-39) consists of a shelling case with a length of 1.3 m, which is equipped with a built-in laser guidance system and is equipped with centuries in two versions: normal (standard) and lightweight. Mass of the standard charge of explosives - 6.3 kg. Standard ammunition of such shells - 50 shots (shell) for each GABIC BATTERY.

The control system "Krasnopol" includes:

Sync / control synchronization system when shooting IA35 type;

Manager (command) computer type IA35K;

IA351 observation system;

Laser scope type ID 15. All these portable systems.

The Zof-39 managed projectile is equipped with a folding wings, a semi-active homing system that is protected by a removable cap when the electronic flight control mechanism and targeting on the target of the laser sensor signals.

The Zof-39 projectile can be shot by 152-mm Gaubes D-20 or towed muscles of the same caliber, or Gaubic Installations 2CSM / 2CSM1 "Acacia" and self-propelled GABIC installations 2C19 "Msta-C".

In the case of using the installation of the "Msta-S" installation, the main disadvantage of this self-propelled warm installation is that the projectile in its dimensions is not suitable for the automatic charge system and it has to be charged into the gun's execution manual way, which significantly reduces the shooting pace.

The advantage of this SSU is that the time of preparation of data for the firing of the installation is only 1.5 minutes, which is less than the time of the comparable American 155-mm Gabubic Self-propeller "Copperhead" shooting shells with a laser guidance system.

The fighting cycle of shooting controlled shells of the Gaubic Installation "Msta-C" and other Gaubic artillery systems begins from the moment of detecting the purpose and the beginning of its maintenance using the Observation System 1A351. This system is able to detect stationary or moving targets and provide targeting shooting by targets moving at a speed of up to 10 m / s. Data on the purpose and parameters of its movement from the surveillance / support system (1A351) are transferred to the 1A35K managing computer, which produces data for aiming and firing by controlled projectiles "Krasnopol". The firing data is transmitted to the settings / batteries by radio channels.

When shelling a warm-up to the synchronization system 1А35, the feedback command (signal) is received on the stupid start; The 1A35 pointing synchronizer for this signal is activated by the laser aiming system and the guidance ID 15.

The synchronization of the process of starting the projectile and its guidance ensures the timely start of laser irradiation of the target for about 10 seconds until the projectile falls into the target. If the laser sight is turned on a little earlier, the shell, inspected by the beam, tends to approach (deviation) from the ballistic trajectory and may not fly to the target due to the lack of kinetic energy. If the laser is turned on later, then it may not be enough time to introduce the proof in the trajectory of the shell's flight.

Prior to the capture of the target, the laser sight is managed on the flight path, the built-in miniature inertial system (INS) according to the data generated by the 1A35K computer relative to the fixed aiming point. At the same time, the actual goal should be located within 1000 m from this fixed target point, otherwise the projectile cannot get into the target.

Since the time delay in the start of exposure to the laser of the target is very long (10 seconds to the projectile meeting with the target) and at the modern level of development of electronic counteraction tools can be used by the enemy to counteract laser guidance, so the laser sight operator should in order to avoid opposition to keep the laser beam not at the very purpose , and at a point a few meters away from the goal and about 5 seconds to the bottom of the projectile to translate the laser beam exactly to the target, providing accurate getting into the target.

The probability of projectile falling into the goal is about 90% in conditions of cloudless weather or with clouds at large altitudes. The probability of entering the goal is reduced to 70% when cloudy at altitudes less than 1000 m and up to 40% are below 500 m.

The shooting range controlled by laser beam projectiles ranges from 5 to 22 km. At the same time, the limiting shooting and guidance is the need to install the position of the beam in the space parallel to the line (plane) of firing with a permissible angular deviation from it by no more than 20.

In the 90s, a new improved modification of the projectile appeared in the Armed Forces of Russia - "Krasnopol-M". The shell's length of the projectile was reduced to 0.95 m, which corresponded to the standard length of 152/155-mm high-speed shells and facilitated the use of ammunition in a combat atmosphere, since the new projectile in its dimensions has already fully approached the automatic "Msta-C" charging system.

"Krasnopol-M" is offered for export in two versions:

Variant M-1 (export version of 155-mm caliber);

M-2 option (152-mm caliber projectile for Russia and exports).

The shooting range is reduced for M-1 to 18 km; M-2 - up to 17 km. The remaining characteristics of the new version ("Krasnopol-M") are identical to the preceding modifications.

The 155-mm version of M-1 was exported to India (1000 shots and 10 sets of control systems "C 2 ISR") and in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The 152 mm variant M-2 was exported to the PRC.

During the tests in India, Krasnopol-M showed low properties - from six test shooting only one was successful. However, in the process of studying the results of these shooting, it was found that since the shooting was made in conditions of mountainous terrain and highlands, at different heights above the sea level of fireproof positions and the location of the goals, then this difference of heights and, accordingly, air density at different heights created problems for The functioning of the laser system and the accurate guidance of projectiles for the purpose.

Analysis of the results of test shooting in India made it possible to significantly improve the projectile and its guidance system and on the next test shootings were already obtained quite satisfactory indicators.

In addition to URS "Krasnopol" in Russia, a whole family of managed artillery shells with laser guidance was created, many of which were tested in polygonal conditions and were offered for export. However, in a number of objective reasons for the arms of the Russian army, they received only partially in very limited quantities.

CB of Tula NGOs has developed an option of a 120-mm managed projectile "Kitolol-2, the project of which was based on the project" Krasnopol ". This projectile is designed for the Gaubic Arsystem D-30 and the Gaubitizer 2c1" Carnation ". In the CB of Tula NGOs also created the option of universal URS Kitolov-2M for the family of universal 120-mm mortar-Hubitizer "Nona".

152-mm URS Zof-28 "Santimeter", developed by the Moscow Research and Research and Engineering Center Amekn, Western experts are considered as a competitor URS "Krasnopol". The center of Amekn also created 240-mm URS "Obelchk" for a heavy 240 mm self-propelled warm-mortar unit 2C4 "Tulip". The tactical and technical characteristics of all these new types of managed shells are almost identical to TTX URS "Krasnopol".

MLRS MLRS reactive system is designed to perform at any time of day and under various weather conditions of combat missions for the damage and destruction of guns, forces and means of reactive artillery, areas of concentration and air defense forces, trucks, light-organized armored personnel carriers, as well as areas of concentration of troops and technical positions.

Initially, a variant was developed for equipping the tactical and operational tactical links (division, housing), called as a GSRS General Support Jet System (General Support Rocket System). In early 1976, preparatory work began on developing the concept of its creation. In March 1976, representatives of five companies: (Boeing, Emerson Electric, Martin Marietta, Northrop and Vought (now Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control) signed a contract for assessing the concept of creating a jet GSRS public support system. In September 1977, representatives of the companies Boing Aerospace and VOGHT CORPORATION signed a contract for the 29-month ratification period (approval) of the GSRS development competition. Under the terms of the contract, each company put three prototypes of the combat vehicle and unmanaged reactive shells for comparative tests on the WHITE SANDS missile test site (New Mexico). Rocket engine Solid fuel (RDTT) for reactive projectile was developed by Atlantic Research specialists.

In early 1978, the Office of Research and Development Works in the region rocket weapons US Army (R & D management on rocket technology (U.S. Army Missile Missile Research and Development Command)) changed directions for the further development of the GSRS system with the possibility of production in both the United States and in Europe. The program was renamed Multiple Launch Rocket System or MLRS. In April 1980, Ling Tempco Vought of Dallas, Texas (now Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Dallas), was chosen by a head contractor to coordinate the development of the MLRS system. The fire power of the combat vehicle of the Experimental GSRS system was to correspond to the fire power of the 27 Gaubitz caliber 203 mm.

The first shells collected within the framework of small-scale production were delivered in May 1982. Combat vehicles collected as part of the initial production were put in the army in August 1982. The company included investments in the amount of more than $ 42 million to create automated production facilities located in East Camden (Arkansas), on which the production of installations (combat vehicles) and shells are carried out.

In 1983, the new reactive system of Language Fire MLRS began to enter the US Army Ground Forces. After 2-3 years, she began to enter the arms of the army of other states.

The second long-term contract for the purchase of the MLRS system for 1989-1993 was concluded in July 1989. In 1989, the fiscal year began joint production of the MLRS system by USA, Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy. As of September 1995, 857 combat vehicles were supplied - 772 in the current army and 185 to the US National Guard. The organizing MLRS system is reduced in batteries and divisions of field artillery. In the division and the housing of the ground forces are 9 and 27 combat vehicles, respectively. According to other sources, they are deployed in the amount of three in the battery and 29 in the division.

According to domestic data, dated 2018, "Multi-purpose" nano-package "MNNS system is developed for launching micro- and nanock on the basis of starting installations OTP ATACMS and MLRS. The launch cost does not exceed $ 1 million. Translation of the MNNS system from garrison storage By starting the ka does not exceed 24 hours. "

According to data from 18.10.2018, the American army is taking serious steps towards expanding and upgrading the MLRS RSZO Park. Modernization work is carried out to preserve the MLRS BM, as part of the US Armed Forces. Army base Red River plays important role In solving this task. The program started in 2017, when the Ministry of Defense delivered the task of supplementing the PFRMS MLRS PCSO PCPM (Precision Fires Rocket and Missile Systems), whose specialists conduct work on the development of high-precision fire systems and rocket complexes.

The expansion of the MLRS RSW Park has become a priority as part of the Grow The Army initiative. RSZO MLRS Park is planned to be increased by 160 units due to the modernization of the outdated MLRS MLRS martial vehicles removed from operation. Works will be performed during the 2019-2022 financial anniversaries. Also, within the program, work will be carried out on the modernization of 225 existing MLRS MLRS combat vehicles during 2022-2030 financial anniversaries. Modernization of machines ensures an increase in the operational resource until 2050.

Structure

Initially, MLRS was part of the MLRS:

    m270 combat vehicle (in a margin: side view, front view);

    unmanaged reactive shells (NURS) caliber 227mm in transport and starting containers;

    transport and charging machine (see photo);

    communication and management systems.

The two main parts of the M270 combat vehicle are chassis and artillery part. The artillery part of the BM M270 is mounted on a modified elongated caterpillar chassis of the M2 Bradley infantry combat vehicle (cargo transporter M993). Through the use of this chassis, the combat vehicle has the ability to move the rough terrain, comparable to the same feature of the M-1 tank. BM M270 chassis is equipped with an eight-cylinder diesel engine Cummins VTA-903 with a gas turbine superimposure of 500 hp The engine is located under the cab, which can be folded forward, which provides access to its nodes. Transmission "General Electric" Hydromechanical HMPT three-speed. Pendant torsion plate, independent with three shock absorbers for each board. It is envisaged to disabling the torsion subressing of the first, fifth and sixth support rollers using multi-disc friction devices, in order to provide the necessary stiffness of the support of the combat vehicle on the ground when salvo.

The M270 combat vehicle chassis cabin is equipped (see electrical circuit):

    the onboard location determination system requires conventional artillery topographic data, and with which the calculation numbers determine their location.

    a computerized fire management system for which data is required for the location of the target and meteorological data in the goal area to calculate the flight task and the automated input of various corrections after each shot. It includes: control panel with monitor and navigation device (top acceptance);

    the automated control system for aiming, with which an automated adjustment of the inclination of the installation, directed by the coordinate system to determine the angles of horizontal guidance and the incineration angles.

    the system of sealing, sound insulation and heating, as well as a filtering installation designed to protect the calculation numbers from weapons of mass lesion.

The cab is protected from small-hand-machine fire and fragments of shells of aluminum alloy armor, when archery is closed by armored blinds.

The artillery part includes a fixed base with a rotary frame installed on the chassis housing and a gyrostabilized rotating platform with a start-up loading module (PRM) M269 fixed on it, as well as the guidance mechanisms for elevation and horizon with electro-hydroprys. The PRM M269 (see photo) includes the armored box farm under two transport and launchers with recharging mechanism. The horizontal guidance mechanism is attached to a fixed base. Structurally, it is made in one block and includes a level with working fluid, electric motor, hydraulic pump, servolap and hydraulic motor. The vertical guidance mechanism is mounted on a rotating frame. The lifting mechanism of the starting charging module is made in the form of two paired screws, driven by steams of conical gears. The leading gears of these pairs are driven by a hydraulic motor or manual drive (the latter is used in case of failure of the main drive).

Recharge mechanism is two retractable consoles with electric winches. The management of them can be carried out separately or together directly from the battle car or using the remote control. To charge the TPK, the CSM is installed in a horizontal position, recharge mechanism consoles are put forward. The rise of the transport and starting container is carried out using a winch, the exciting device of which is attached to the center of severity of the container (see photo). After the TPK is inserted into the clip, it lowers on the centering pins and is fixed in a combat position using three clamping grips. Each socket also has a manual mechanical lock to hold TPK, the drive handle of which is located in the lower front of the socket. After fixing the TPK and connecting the electrical cable from the fire control system, there is an automatic shutdown of winches of charging mechanisms.

Starting charging is carried out by equipped transport and starting containers of disposable application. The TPK is equipped with reactive shells and sealed at the factory. Standard transport and starting containers, which are also storage containers, weigh 2270 kg and include six fiberglass pipes that are rigidly bonded by the rope made of aluminum alloy. Inside the guides there are spiral metal cars for giving a rotation of rotation with a frequency of 10-12 rpm when a shot to ensure the stability of the projectile in flight and compensation for the eccentricity of traction. Starting the shells is carried out directly from replaceable containers. Shells can be stored in such containers for 10 years, being ready for use. For charging, aiming and volley from 12 shells takes five minutes.

The combat vehicle can be prepared for transportation in the Airplane of the C-141 Air Force on a limited base, as well as aircraft of the C-5 and C-17 Air Force. The calculation consists of a commander and numbers: driver mechanics, guidance operator. However, the launches of shells can be produced by two calculation numbers, and in extreme cases - one calculation number.

The variant of the towed launcher of the MLRS system was worked out (see the scheme).

In the 90s of the 20th century, the combat vehicle was modernized, and its new sample was referred to as M270A1 (see the layout). The main directions of modernization were equipped with an enhanced fire management system with the ability to display video information, a full keyboard, a storage device for storing 1GB programs, improved by the mechanical system and modern GPS navigation equipment. This ensures the faster preparation of the combat vehicle to shoot, a decrease in recharging time by 38%, reduction of expenditures for operation and maintenance. When performing a typical combat task using the M270A1 combat vehicle, the time required for its execution is six times less compared with the time required when using BM M270. The machine has a built-in diagnostic system for timely definition of faults. Modernization of the PCM BM M270 Army to the M270A1 option began in 2002.

Usually, two transport and charging machines with trailers are used to serve one combat vehicle. TSM is a 10-ta car high passability M985 (wheel formula 8x8). In its body, a 2.5-t-swivel crane is mounted, with which the containers are loaded and unloading. On the machine and trailers are transported by four TPK (six missiles in each). The next ammunition of one PU, including its 12 missiles, is 108 Nur, respectively.

After administration to the fire control equipment for firing (including and the time of triggering of head explosives), the PU is carried out by a command using electro-hydraulic power drives. The horizontal installation before shooting is not required, since the necessary amendments are constantly introduced into fire control equipment. This is ensured by the corresponding system with a gyrostabilized platform. The same system provides both the necessary accuracy at a volunteer shooting.

In general, M270 index combat vehicles were developed (regular, the very first), M270-IPDS (with an improved location system) and M270A1.

The MLRS MLRS ammunition includes the following types of unmanaged jet shells:

    M26 with shooting range 32 km.

    M26A1 / A2 with a 6-km shooting range (XR-M77, developed by the specialists of the company Loral Vough Systems).

    M28 for anti-tank mining with a shooting range of 40 km.

    training and training M28A1 (RRPR) with firing range up to 14.3 km.

Workingists of Loral Vough Systems were carried out on the development of a variant of the reactive projectile with an increased range based on the reactive projectile from the MLRS RSW. The maximum flight range was increased to 45 km. An experimental sample of the XR-M77 product was held in April 1993. Compared to the size of the head part of the standard PC from the MLRS RSO, the size of the head part of the reactive projectile was reduced by length, and the length of the rocket motor was increased in length. Due to the equipment of the head part with a smaller number of combat elements, the weight of the experimental reactive projectile has become less than compared with the standard reactive projectile, i.e. An experienced projectile is easier than staff RS.

Consortium of US enterprises, Germany, Great Britain and France, work was carried out on the development of a CM29 projectile with a cassette head, equipped with self-equipped combat elements (SNBE). For hm29, options for equipping the head part of the three Snbe Wat (see Figure) or six SADARM SPBE (see Figure) (JM-29 Jet Tool) are worked out. According to developers, the experimental sample of the HM29 projectile was successfully tested against T-72 tank. The weight of the head with SNBE was 111 kg.

Technical data of the SADARM combat element: weight - 11.77 kg, head part - 1.5 kg LX-14, length 204.4 mm, diameter - 147 mm, descent speed - 17 m / s, scanning speed - 456 rpm . Established other MLRS / SADARM data (USA). Weapon system - MLRS; Media type - Cassette combat part NURS; Maximum firing range - 40 km; Caliber of the projectile - 240 mm; The number of elements in the carrier is 6 pcs; SPBE diameter - 175.3 mm; Length - 203.2 mm; Mass - 13.6 kg; The type of combat part is self-deformed PE (type "shock kernel"); Material of the formation - tantalum; The speed of the striking element is 2440 m / s; Armoredness - 100 mm; Sensor type - combined: radar millimeter wave range and IR dual-band; The radius of the review zone is 75 m; Time to adopt - 1995-1996.

According to other data, "High-precision" headsets in the 1980s were developed for RS MLRS in the 80s of the twentieth century. The first option is the head of Sence and Destroy Armour (Sadarm), intended for use against stationary artillery armored machines. The design of each head part should include six Sadarm combat elements. Each element was to have a scanning ability (search) on a specific area of \u200b\u200bthe area of \u200b\u200bthe area when operating the infrared heads operating in the infrared band and the millimeter wave range.

Another type of armor-piercing projectile was a head part with guiding on the final site of the trajectory (Terminally Guided Warhead (TGW). The head part was equipped with several battle elements on the final portion of the trajectories that were scattered over a space goal. The flight of each combat element is performed according to a predetermined trajectory with The condition to ensure the search for suitable stationary or moving armored goals. By means of the homing head, the goal and the guidelines for the target for its destruction are made.

In early 1987, it was argued that a binary chemical head part was developed for equipping NURS RSZO MLRS - Hm135. It was originally planned its receipt in 1991, but the procedure was detained due to budgetary and political factors. Modern condition Development is unknown.

Since the late 80s, work was carried out on new types of reactive shells with an increased flight range, some samples of which were already applied in combat conditions. They relate to the class of managed and equipped with an inertial guidance unit based on the global GPS location system and small aerodynamic steering, thanks to which overall maneuverability and an increase in accuracy (see photo). In 2006, a pulse trajectory correction unit was demonstrated (see Miroslav Gyurosi photo) for the MLRS projectile.

M30 GMLRS projectile (Guided MLRS) with a maximum range of up to 70 km (see scheme). The development of M30 GMLRS began in 1987. Within the framework of the International Program, USA, Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy. Caliber - 227 mm, length - 4000 m, head part - cassette. The CGC is equipped with 404 cumulative-fragmentary combat elements M77 or M85, the weight of the projectile is 308 kg. In August 2005, the United Kingdom officially became the first international GMLRS shell customer. Lockheed Martin has concluded a contract worth $ 55 million for the supply of GMLRS shells with a head part in equipment with cumulative-fragment combat elements for the British army until March 2007.

Managed XM30 GUMLRS (Guided Unitary MLRS) with flight range up to 70 km. GUMLRS Development is conducted by the company "Lockheed Martin" in cooperation with companies in Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy From October 2003, the testing of the projectile was carried out at the "White Sands" test site from 2004 to 2005, the XM30 is equipped with a fugasic intendable head part of the penetrating type (Weight up to 89 kg) and is intended for the destruction of protected objects of the military-industrial infrastructure of the enemy (fortification fortifications, runways, bridges, dams, warehouses, communications nodes, etc.). The head part is equipped with an explosion with three installations, due to which a subsection in the air is ensured, when meeting with a barrier and undermining a slowdown after penetration into the target. Caliber 227 mm, length - 4000 m, the weight of the projectile is 308 kg. For shooting, martial vehicles M270 and M270A1 MLRS MLRS and BM M142 RSZO can be used. The first 498 GumlRS shells were put in the US Army in 2005. On July 10, 2006, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems was chosen by representatives of the US Army and Lockheed Martin as a manufacturer of a headband for a GumlRS projectile. The contract provides for deliveries until 2020. The planned period of arrival of Gumlrs in the troops was 2007.

In 2008, Lockheed Martin announced the testing of the GMLRS projectile of an enlarged range, which struck the target located at a distance of 85 km from the start point. According to the Press release of Lockheed Martin on November 5, 2009, its specialists on the WHITE SANDS missile test site carried out a successful launch of the GMLRS projectile, the maximum range of which was 92 km. Start of the projectile was carried out using the Himars RSZO combat vehicle. It is worth noting that there is no information on the tactics of the application of managed shells. It is not clear whether the task of their volleune launch was solved with the identification of their goal or the use of such shells, it implies a waste from the volley firing.

Work continues to improve the combat equipment of shells. For example, the modification of GMLRS Unitary EBW is equipped with a head part of the increased fugasal effects due to excess pressure and is intended for use in urban conditions.

There is information and the GMLRS Unitary reactive projectile.

On March 28, 2008, the press release of the company Lockheed Martin reported on the very first start-up of four managed shells using a new universal fire management system, which is an evolutionary unit with the ability to upgrade the Fire Management System of the MLRS Fire Management and provides the possibility of firing by controlled projectiles in the design of which used Noise-protected technology.

On December 13, 2010, Lockheed Martin announced the successful testing on the White Sands test site (pcs-mexico) of the GMLRS + rocket equipped with a semi-active Laser GOS.

Testing and operation

According to Aerospace Daily magazine (№22, Volume 138, 1986, p.169,170), with the aim of expanding production, as well as the possibilities of applying the MLRS MLRS, the company Vought conducted research work in the field of creating a counter-friendly missile (missile defense) based on the Flace program technology (Flexible Lightweight Agile Guided Experiment is the creation of highly empty, lungs, with a flexible guided rocket guidance system). Previously, this program was called SRHIT (Small Radar Homing Intercept Technology - Development of a missile-interceptor with a compact radar homing system). The MLRS MLRS combat machine with interceptual missile cars was supposed to be a tactical option of the air defense system (Pro) Flage program. The first test of the interceptor missile was held in April 1986. The interceptor rocket hit a target suspended at an altitude of 3660 m, reaching a speed corresponding to the number of Mach 4. The diameter of the interceptor missile was 228.6 mm. As a rocket engine, an accelerator was used from the reactive projectile from the MLRS RSZO. The combat vehicle can be charged with 12 missiles by interceptors, which would have to be used to fight against aircraft, winged missiles and tactical ballistic missiles.

By the 80s, it includes the work on the maritime version of the installation to ensure combat units of the Navy and the Marine Corps with effective weapons of the barrier and covering fire for landing operations, as well as to launch radar means of opposition.

On July 14, 1983, at the landfill in New Mexico, there were demonstrative tests of the MARS system within the framework of the US-European Treaty.

According to the data for 1987, Switzerland considered the adoption of the MLRS type RSWO, as an addition to the 105- and 155-mm artillery tools.

According to the second half of the 80s of the twentieth century, Ferranti (United Kingdom) specialists proposed to modify the pneumatic launching of the Locat Aviation Training System and adapt it as a simulator to train MLRS MLRS calculations.

The proposed simulator was a container for 6 PC MLRS, which in its overall dimensions, mass and appearance Fully corresponded to the real MLRS RSW container. In the simulator Locat, instead of the usual 227-mm practical RS, the MLRS MLRS, 80-mm fragmentation and fugasic training projectiles of the Locat system were used, the firing range was 6 km. It would make it possible to mimic the real conditions for shooting and charging and had a device for connecting with the existing SUO MLRS. The use of a Locat simulator for combat payments should be made up 15 times cheaper than for real MLRS RSW.

In the above period, the Locat system was still in the project to clarify the project, and the prototype could be made in six or nine months.

According to 12.12.1996, as part of the delivery of MLRS RSW South Korea 9 simulators were supplied to study working with fire control system.

MLRS volley fire systems were widely used by multinational forces in 1991. against Iraq during the operation "storm in the desert". In the Kuwaiti Theater of Military Action, US troops delivered 189 combat vehicles. They were released 9600 Nurses for such purposes as artillery positions, air defense positions, accumulation of armored and automotive equipment, live power of the enemy, helicopters on the landing site. According to other data, during the operation of the "Storm in the Desert" of the United States launched more than 230 combat vehicles, the Ground Forces of Great Britain - 16 BM.

It should be especially noted that during these hostilities for the first time from the MLRS combat vehicles, the MLRS was held by the new Tactical ballistic missiles of the US Army ATACMS. Especially for firing, these missiles were modernized three batteries - 27 combat vehicles. However, it is not reported to the details, in particular, about the possibility of using the same chassis for the installation of TPK for shooting with projectiles of various calibers, because There is an opinion that on the platform of one chassis of one type of chassis it is possible to install only TPK with projectiles of one caliber.

The combat actions have shown that MLRS was the only US field artillery system capable of working in conjunction with Abrams tanks, BMDLEY BMDLEY tanks, as well as with tactical assault aviation, receiving a target designation from her. In the quality of the deficiencies of MLRS, the participants of the battles noted a relatively small range of Nurses, and Also, the M77 combat elements turned out to be practically ineffective against Iraqi armored goals.

The system was deployed by the US Army in Albania for the potential combat support of military operations in the Balkan region.

In 2007, the United Kingdom transferred several MLRS MLRS MLRS combat vehicles to Afghanistan. According to the command of NATO multinational forces, the use of managed shells with GPS-guidelines ensures the defeat of the goals "with stunning accuracy".
