In Russia, the tests of the new artillery intelligence complex completed, which in the near future can get out martial duty. According to American military experts, the complex carries a serious threat to NATO heavy artillery.

Shooting for the horizon

The enemy's artillery has always been considered one of the most dangerous means of warfare, and considerable forces were always attracted to fighting - from intelligence aircraft to satellites. Significant progress in this regard was achieved by the mid-70s, small radar radars were able to adapt to detect the same small goals - mines and artillery shells. Unique system I decided not only the task of alert at the beginning of the shelling of the position of the opponent, but it was capable of detecting a likely point where the enemy could lead the shelling.

By the beginning of the 80s, this task was decided at the new technological level - the US military created a relatively mobile control system of AN / TPQ-36, which made it possible to quickly determine the coordinates of the goal with high accuracy.

True, the Americans almost immediately found themselves in the position of catching up - in the USSR, at the end of the 70s in mass production, a complex of artillery intelligence "Lynx" was entered, significantly superior American intelligence means in all characteristics. The main feature The complex became a chassis - from the idea of \u200b\u200bthe towed radar refused almost immediately, and the massive radar "flashlight" capable of determining the coordinates of the launch of a rocket or projectile, put on the chassis of the MT-LB armored personnel carrier. The complex "Lynx" even managed to play in Afghanistan, where the concept of "early shelling" has proven complete vitality.

Dust in heaven

The problem of detecting small goals, especially the artillery mines of a small caliber, was not solved for a long time due to the lack of a hardware and computing complex, which could be associated with a sensitive radar and artillery calculations. The very essence of the work of such a complex is to process information obtained by reflecting a conventional radio signal from projectiles or rockets. However, in the NPP "Strela" and attracted to work, the profile KB, created radio recipients, managed to create a system with unique Base Data capable not only to track the start of the shelling.

By the time the serial production began, the automation of the "Lynx" complex could not only determine the launch of the rocket or the position of the enemy artbataray, but also twisted the ethnic-released shells with the database, after which the accurate data on the adversary was issued.

Automation of data definition processes to the absolute level brought already in Russia. In the late 90s - early 2000s, the Russian army appeared - a complex of a controlarian struggle, built on a new architecture. In addition to the extended database, the radar has been able to monitor and identify even the tactical missiles of low-range, and the positions of the launchers thanks to the new electronics began to be determined up to five meters. The complex was adopted by the Russian army in 2007 and then the attention of American specialists was challenged.

A feature of the version of the Zoo-1M complex, presented in 2013, has become an even more productive computer, which allows operators to determine the coordinates of the enemy even with a massive shelling. At the same time, the "zoo" in the composition of artillery batteries acts as a fire control system, which allows you to track the enemy and automatically bring your own artillery on its position. At the same time, the main advantages of the complex were a short deployment time - only five minutes and a large range of work - up to 45 kilometers.

Military antibiotic

The newest Russian complex of soundlope of artillery exploration 1B75 "Penicillin" is the latest means to combat any "shooting" enemy technique at distant distances. In case of the newest complex There is a revised approach to creating such systems - except RLS, the detection of goals is performed by optical, sound and even seismic setting stations. The automation of the complex is configured in such a way that it takes only 5 seconds to determine the coordinates of the source of the shelling, after which the data is entered into an electronic card and another 20 seconds are sent to the enemy a rocket or an artillery projectile.

Attention to Russian complexes on the part of the American military in this regard is quite understandable - only in Russia there is a fully automated highly protected system of recognition of targets that can work "on the front" without additional assistance.

An American approach to creating such complexes does not change for more than 30 years, and such carelessness began to bring the first "fruits". True, not American, but the Ukrainian military who received the station controlarian struggle AN / TPQ-36 Firefinder as part of military assistance from the United States were injured. It was not possible to work effectively with these complexes of the Armed Forces and did not have learned, and portable stations to serve artillery and the An-TPQ-48 mortars were also captured by the DPR militia in Debaltsev.

At the same time, the land forces of the Russian Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to move towards the automation of all processes of detection and response - in addition to the complexes "Zoo-1M" \u200b\u200band "Penicillin", the Russian military has "pall-to-k1" complexes that are capable of detecting even minority winged rockets. The military themselves note that such arsenal allows you to respond to threats of any type at any time of the day.

The International Military Forum "Army 2018" continues. A significant part of its exposition is occupied by artillery and rocket Systems. Visitors can see the newest self-propelled tool "Coalition-SV", the Operational Tactical Complex "Iskander", the Malka's gun of 203 mm caliber and many other interesting developments. But artillery is not only what shoots her effective work It is impossible without qualitative means of targeting and intelligence.

It is for this reason that at the booth of the main rocket-artillery department of the Russian RF, you can see the layout of the new intelligence complex, which is known for the general public called "Penicillin". Experts believe that his appearance can lead to the same revolution in artillery, which at one time made him "thesis" in medicine. Thanks to the sensitive sensors of the complex, the military will be able to determine the locations of enemy batteries with great accuracy, while remaining invisible to the enemy. "Penicillina" will potach even the launchers of anti-aircraft and tactical missiles.

It is planned that next year the intelligence complex will begin to enter the troops.

What is "Penicillin" and why he need

Today, the detection of positions of enemy artillery is made using radar complexes. A typical example of such equipment is the antibate radar Zoo "Zoo-1", adopted by the Russian army in 2008. His principle of operation is quite simple: the radar is trajectory of shells or rockets, and then the computer calculates where they were running. The problem is that the use of radar instantly reveals the location of the station itself, making it vulnerable to the enemy fire. In addition, it can be suppressed using various RES systems.

True, there are advantages: "zoo" is capable not only to calculate enemy batteries, but also effectively adjust the fire of own artillery.

A complex "Penicillin" works quite differently. Its main part is a remote optical-electronic heat control unit module designed to fix radiation in the infrared and visible spectrum from the terrain and various objects. It is located on a special bar, which is unfolded during combat application.

In addition, this complex has in its composition special sound reactors, which literally "listen" to the Earth, as if acoustics on submarines. The information received from the sensors enters the reception equipment and displays the situation in real time.

Penicillin is able to facilitate the position of mortars at distances 10 km, the location of the Sau and the towed artillery is up to 18 km, rocket installations - up to 40 km.

At the same time, you can detect up to 30 goals. In width, the intelligence band is 20-25 km. During the test, the complex showed a very high accuracy, reaching a half corner minutes. More accurate data on its characteristics are still kept secret.

Samples of the complex shown earlier were installed on the chassis of the KAMAZ-6350 truck. On the Forum "Army 2018" another version of execution was demonstrated - using armored vehicles

The new Russian complex of soundeplinic exploration 1B75 "Penicillin" can be a breakthrough "method for the elimination of American heavy artillery" and thereby produce a revolution in service, as his namesake turned all medicine, writes the American analytical edition of National Interest.

The authors of the article note that in order to move noise and kinetic energyThis fixation system uses four sound soundproof locators, a huge stabilization platform and an optical-electronic module. In addition, for the lightning sorting of information "Penicillin" is equipped with six ordinary and six thermal imaging cameras, reports.

Experts indicate that the complex may find goals in just five seconds within a radius of up to 25 kilometers, as well as to prematurely determine the place of falling of the enemy's shells. As noted in the Russian, the complex detectors are so accurate that they can even damage the cotton door. At the same time, Penicillin is fully automated.

According to reports, among the advantages there is a small probability of its detection of an enemy artillery. This is due to the fact that Penicillin does not use electromagnetic waves inherent for RLS. The complex was first presented last year, now he finishes test tests and expects mass production in 2019.

The day before it became known that the radar station of the Zagorizonal detection of the new generation of type "container" was unfolded in Mordovia, which can track hypersonic rockets at a distance of three thousand kilometers.

"RLS is able to control flights of any air targets at a distance of about 3 thousand kilometers

and it can simultaneously accompany more than 5 thousand air objects of various types, including small-sized, "the ministry said.

The department also stressed that the station would have to provide exploration of hypersonic air facilities over the territory of Western European states and in the Southeast region.

Two months earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Russia published a video with the tests of the newest Russian combat robot "Nerekhta" and combat robotic complexes "Uran-9". The publication was devoted to the Day of Ground Forces, which in Russia is celebrated on October 1.

The robotic complex "Nekheta" is equipped with a caterpillar chassis, armoredorpus and fasteners for special equipment. For a robot, three modules have been developed: combat, transport and artillery intelligence.

Uran-9 serves for exploration, firing support for motorized rifle units and the implementation of counter-terrorism tasks. It is noted that the armored car is armed with a 30-millimeter automatic cannon and anti-tank controlled missiles "Attack".

In June of this year, the US Army Minister Mark Esper stated that in his department high-precision weapon Large range is considered as a priority number one when modernizing ground Forces USA.

"Even the Military Hospital of the United States and in the German city of Landstul is within reach of Russian missiles.

It is on such a distance that the rocket troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may affect our objects. We currently have practically no such concept as a "deep rear".

All our facilities in Europe can suddenly be under the murderous fire of the opponent, "so appreciated the established situation by one of the high-ranking officers of the US ground troops.

Weapon developers for the US ground troops stated that the design bureaus and industry enterprises intend to design and put an integrated series of armament samples in order to fully comply with the priorities outlined by Mark Esper.

Such a series will include a high-precision long-range missile, hypersonic armament samples for land forces and long-range artillery. For the latter, the task is to double the range of firing of 155-mm projectiles and reach the boundary of the lesion of 60 km.

To solve such a task, it is planned to use a longer barrel, active-reactive shells with direct-flow air-reactive engines and new materials. This, according to the developers, will allow to shoot a distance of 60 km and further.

In May, Western experts analyzed how Russia plans to shoot down the American F-22 and F-35, reports NSN. . We are talking about the Bismatic Radar Radar System "String-1", which is able to track fighters-invisible, equipped with Stelc technology, including the fifth generation aircraft F-22 and F-35 US Air Force.
