Unmanned aerial reconnaissance complex "Tipchak". Domestic weapons and military equipment Reconnaissance, control and communications complex archer

Combat equipment of the soldier "Warrior" is one of the largest modernization projects Russian army. As applied to this program, the concept of equipment is so broad and extensive that it is almost impossible to describe all its elements in one article or depict it in one photograph.

For ordinary soldiers who receive the first Ratnik kits since the end of 2014, this is, first of all, a comfortable uniform made of modern fabrics with many elements for summer, winter and demi-season periods, lightweight composite protection covering up to 90% of the body, lightweight helmet.

For visitors to exhibitions, "Warrior" is an image of a soldier of the future, hung with ultra-modern computer equipment, seeing through walls and shooting from around the corner using a helmet-mounted monitor.

IN total The equipment includes more than 70 elements that are interconnected and complement each other constructively and functionally.

To figure out what is today combat equipment serviceman of Russia, we conducted a series of interviews. We were told about the main elements of the Ratnik kit by specialists from the lead developer of the program, JSC TsNIITOCHMASH (part of the Rostec state corporation). Impressions about new equipment the fighters of the reconnaissance company of one of the military units, where they were tested, shared with us. We discussed the electronic stuffing of the “soldier of the future” equipment with Alexander Kaplin, General Designer of Radioavionika JSC.

A set of combat equipment for a serviceman is a complex of five systems integrated into each other: destruction, protection, control, life support and energy supply. That is, the Ratnik program covers almost everything a soldier needs on the battlefield: from shoes and clothing to weapons, medicines, aiming, surveillance, communications, guidance and target designation of artillery and aviation.

“We tested all sets of clothing items of the second generation, made forced marches of 5 and 20 km, passed an obstacle course,” says Ivan Velichko, commander of the reconnaissance platoon. Passing the obstacle course in full protective gear was demonstrated to us by five scouts, one of them with a heavy machine gun in his hands. Smiling soldiers praise new clothes, which always exactly matches the weather, a light and comfortable helmet, goggles, a multifunctional knife-tool. Faraday shoes are impressive: Gore-Tex breathable membrane, Vibram non-slip reinforced sole, weight at the level of the best trekking boots (both for summer and winter models).

Anti-shatter armor helmet weighing only 1 kg guarantees the same level of protection as foreign counterparts weighing at least 1.3 kg. Adjustable chin strap helps fit the helmet to fit your head and provides extra cushioning for impacts and debris.

A comfortable and fairly light body armor with a built-in quick release system is put on and taken off very easily, and in order to unequip a wounded soldier, you just need to pull the pin (previously you had to remove the vest over your head or cut the straps).

Bulletproof vests from the Ratnik kit are equipped with ceramic-composite armor panels made of a layer of ceramic tiles and a composite substrate. Ceramics is characterized by very high hardness with a relatively small mass. The ceramic outer layer effectively destroys the bullet, while the reinforced composite backing holds bullet fragments and ceramic fragments. As standard, the body armor of the "Warrior" weighs a little more than 7 kg, which is significantly less mass his predecessor. There is also an assault equipment of body armor, in which the level of protection is increased to the maximum (sixth) class, bulletproof protection of the side zones and the inguinal region is provided. In this case, the mass of body armor reaches 15 kg.

This is what a ceramic-composite armor plate looks like after being hit by ten armor-piercing incendiary bullets from sniper rifle SVD from a distance of 10 m. On the other hand, the same plate looks like new.

At the TsNIITOCHMASH enterprise in Klimovsk near Moscow, we were shown an assault chest armor panel developed by NPF Tekhinkom LLC and withstood ten hits of armor-piercing incendiary bullets during shelling from a sniper SVD rifles from a distance of 10 m. Back side the plate remained absolutely smooth, without a single bulge. This means that a soldier protected by body armor with such panels will not receive concussion injuries and remain combat-ready.

The MFP is worn in a breast pocket, has an alphanumeric indicator and gives access to all the functions of the complex through a system of context menus. In particular, it can be used to type text messages and use the navigator.

Special protective suits also deserve attention. Overalls "Permyachka" made of a special ballistic aramid fabric is able to protect a soldier from fragments of shells flying at a speed of up to 140 m / s with a mass of 1 g, as well as from the action of an open flame for 10 s. A kit for crew members of armored vehicles "Cowboy" will help the tanker survive if the tank is damaged and ignited.

The remote control does not have a screen and operates on the principle of "finger-button".

thunder lord

The control system is that part of the Ratnik that even today looks fantastic, although in fact the Sagittarius intelligence, control and communications complex (KRUS), included in the program, has been in service with the Russian army since 2007. At the moment, the second generation of Sagittarius is relevant, which has been produced since 2011 and is constantly being improved.

According to the apt description of the general designer of JSC Radioavionika Alexander Kaplina, KRUS "Sagittarius" is a personal computer with peripherals, distributed over the fighter's unloading vest. Its capabilities, like any other computer, are limited only by the tasks set and the imagination of the developers. The complex guarantees the solution of all information problems that a serviceman may face.

A secure high-speed radio channel provides voice radio communication and data transmission. Data can mean text messages (preset and optional), photos and videos, and, of course, geographical coordinates. The satellite navigation system virtually eliminates the possibility for a soldier to get lost, and for a commander to lose sight of a soldier.

On the screen of the commander's personal computer, the location of all fighters is displayed on a map of the area and is updated in real time. The high update rate (once per second), made possible by a special high-speed radio channel, distinguishes KRUS "Sagittarius" from analogues using standard radio stations for data transmission. In them, the update rate can reach 10-30 seconds, since information about all the soldiers of the unit is transmitted over communication channels with low or average speed data transmission.

The commander can instantly send a fighter to the desired point by simply pointing it with the stylus on the map. Moreover, the fighter will receive not just the coordinates of the destination, but a complex route. KRUS will tell the soldier the way using the arrow on the screen, help to get around minefields and danger zones.

One of the modifications of the "Sagittarius" includes a rangefinder-goniometer. It is enough for the gunner to simply see the target: based on the readings of the laser rangefinder and the target elevation angle meter, as well as its own coordinates, KRUS will instantly calculate the coordinates of the target, and at the same time send its photograph to the commander. All that remains is to give the command to open artillery fire or strike aircraft.

Of course, "Sagittarius" is compatible with various optoelectronic sights and helmet-mounted monitors that allow you to shoot from behind cover. This spectacular trick is proudly demonstrated at exhibitions by the developers of Felin and Gladius, the French and German analogues of the Ratnik. However, Alexander Kaplin is convinced that transmitting video information in combat is far from being as important as ensuring a good ratio of weight and size characteristics, security and operating time without recharging when solving basic, that is, the most common combat missions.

A modern smartphone will hardly last a day without an outlet in standby mode. KRUS "Sagittarius" works 12 hours on one battery (and 24 hours on two) in the mode of continuous voice communication and data transmission. The complex operates at temperatures from minus 40 to plus 60 ° C, withstands severe shocks, immersion in water and dirt.

“A special division of Radio Avionics is engaged in training and collecting information in the troops, accompanies instruments in exercises and wherever possible,” says Alexander Yuryevich. - Practice shows that in life situations often arise that are simply impossible to predict. Therefore, the requirements of the Department of Defense to protect equipment are not at all far-fetched. ” At the same time, if the first knapsack samples of KRUS, bristling with antennas, were a continuous headache for the fighter, then the loads from placement on the Ratnik transport vest modern complex the soldier hardly notices.

From the Arctic to the Tropics

Sets of combat equipment "Warrior" are already being delivered to military units but the program is far from over. Currently, they are fighting for getting into the kit the best samples small arms, sights and observation devices, including thermal imagers, night vision devices, helmet cameras and monitors. The AK103-3 and AK-12 assault rifles of the Kalashnikov concern claim to hit the Ratnik (we wrote in detail about the new generation AK in May 2012), as well as weapons with balanced automation developed by the Degtyarev plant. Many development enterprises create promising products with an eye on the third and even fourth generation of the Ratnik.

The weapon of the Kalashnikov concern (part of the Rostec state corporation) is equipped with a folding telescopic buttstock, adjustable under anatomical features and fighter equipment, Picatinny rails on the lid receiver and a forearm for attaching sights. In the photo: a thermal imaging sight, a red dot sight, a 2x magnifier, a laser designator and a transparent magazine that makes it easier to count the remaining cartridges.

Dmitry Semizorov, Director General of TsNIITOCHMASH OJSC, calls flexibility and versatility one of the main advantages of the Ratnik equipment: “The modular principle of building elements allows for the recruitment of various units depending on the military specialty and combat missions. Having a wealth of experience in the field of developing combat equipment for a military man, we have created a kit that functions equally effectively both in the extreme temperature conditions of the Arctic and in the hot tropics.”

Basic kit KRUS "Sagittarius"

The horse of JSC Radioavionika is the development of modifications of the KRUS "Sagittarius" for various military specialties and combat missions. The kits are always in the unloading vest in the assembled state, and the fighter is relieved of the need to assemble the system for individual missions, as well as store the KRUS components separately.

In 2007, the reconnaissance control and communications complex (KRUS "Sagittarius") was adopted, which is designed to solve the main set of information support tasks (combat control, communications and information transfer, individual and group navigation, detection, measurement of coordinates and identification of targets, target designation , development of data for the use of small arms and melee weapons). Main specifications Communication range: within the subdivision up to 1500 m with a higher one up to 10 km (VHF), up to the VU body 5000 km (satellite repeater) Weight of the set is 2.4 kg. Transfer rate Up to 11 Mbit/s data via intercom channel Continuous operation time 12-14 hours Coordinates determination error Not more than 20 m Used GLONAS, GPS satellite navigation systems

More recently, in the fifth motorized rifle brigade near Moscow, they began to master the Sagittarius complex for communications and intelligence management. The complex is produced at the domestic enterprise "Radioavionika". The tested individual complex is a kind of mobile type computer. Almost any device is connected to it. When creating a network from the data of individual complexes, the computer of the unit commander will display necessary information about subordinates, as well as information about the enemy coming from them. To do this, an ordinary soldier needs to press just a couple of buttons and the coordinates of his location or the location of the enemy will appear on the commander's computer. The head of the department will be able to combine the received data with electronic card terrain, or with a photograph of a given area obtained from a satellite. First, military intelligence officers will receive and master such complexes. According to the designers, the Sagittarius complex is practically a mobile personal CIUS

The company "Radioavionika" at one time presented KRUS "Sagittarius" as a means of solving a wide range of tasks for information support. Sagittarius provides:
- combat control;
- identification of detected objects and calculation of their coordinates;
- target designation;
- data generation for effective application personal weapons and means for close combat;
The Sagittarius complex has an interface with all Soviet and Russian funds intelligence. In addition, the complex interacts with goniometers, radars, target designation, aiming devices and UAVs.

The complex was put into service in 2007 and is supplied in series. It goes primarily to ground reconnaissance units. The first samples of the complex, after passing through various field and combat tests, are sent for revision. Our scouts, having experience in operating foreign analogues of FELIN, IdZ-ES and Normans, asked the developers to improve the existing sample of the Sagittarius complex. Firstly, the base of the first samples was made on the basis of elements of the 2000s. The designers were sympathetic to the request of the military and the modernized KRUS "Sagittarius" is being tested. After successful tests, the ground units began to be massively provided with the complex. More than one thousand units of the Sagittarius complex have already entered the armed forces of the Russian Federation. The general designer of the Radioavionika enterprise A. Kaplin, talking about the Sagittarius complex, noted that the first KRUS samples were somewhat inconvenient for the soldiers - they had a fairly decent weight of 5.4 kilograms, interfered with the soldier when passing the assault strip, covered access to pouches and a medical kit . Now, after the modernization, the complex began to weigh 2.4 kilograms, received smaller overall characteristics, and large blocks are attached so as not to interfere with other tasks. On this moment there are no significant comments on the use of the Sagittarius complex from the military personnel of the ground units, where the complexes are mainly received.

KRUS "Sagittarius" can have several levels of equipment. The simplest configuration option is intended for military personnel of departments, up to the commander of the department. The next level of configuration is intended for the platoon commander; the package includes a powerful computer system with a multifunctional type console. The third, most complete level of equipment, is for the unit commander - battalion commander, brigade commander.

The range of interaction of the complex as part of the department is about one and a half kilometers, but any of the individual Sagittarius complexes works as a repeater, which significantly increases the range and information control of a given area. In addition to voice messages, built-in standard commands can be transmitted over the radio, the recipient can watch or listen to them after receiving. This innovation was introduced specifically to ensure that the scouts do not get distracted from the task, do not lose visual control. KRUS incorporates an autonomous navigation module, which is provided with an inertial system. It makes it possible for a soldier to know exactly his coordinates, even if he has left the satellite navigation coverage area. Switching between navigation systems occurs in the complex automatically. The complex can be equipped with a helmet-mounted display subsystem for producing fire from cover. For example, when interacting with the Shahin thermal imager, information from it is sent to the indicator of a serviceman, which allows, without leaving the shelter, to conduct accurate and aimed fire. There is also an identification subsystem of the “friend or foe” type in the complex. The range of the subsystem depends on the characteristics of the associated sighting devices. The subsystem sends a request to an unidentified object, and if the object is “own”, then the serviceman will hear a sound notification in the earpiece. If, after sending the request, the subsystem is “silent”, then the object is defined by the “Sagittarius” complex as “foreign”.

The KRUS Strelets reconnaissance and communications complex still looks fantastic today, although in fact the Sagittarius, which was included in the Ratnik combat equipment program, has been in service with the Russian army since 2007. At the moment, the second generation of Sagittarius is relevant, which has been produced since 2011 and is constantly being improved.

When creating a network from the data of individual complexes, the unit commander's computer will display the necessary information about subordinates, as well as information about the enemy coming from them. To do this, an ordinary soldier needs to press just a couple of buttons and the coordinates of his location or the location of the enemy will appear on the commander's computer. The head of the unit will be able to easily combine the received data with an electronic map of the area, or with

a photograph of a given area obtained from a satellite. At first, military intelligence officers received and mastered such complexes.

The complex of intelligence control and communications (KRUS) "Sagittarius" provides a solution to the main tasks:

- combat control,
– communication and information transfer,
– individual and group navigation,
– detection,
- measuring coordinates and identifying targets,
- targeting,
– development of data for the use of small arms.

It interfaces with all domestic reconnaissance, surveillance, aiming, target designation devices, radars, rangefinders, goniometers, unmanned aerial vehicles

One of the first options, the version of the vest is quite primitive, there is no weight balancing, and a lot of wires are especially “impressive”: the base platform 83t215-BP, version ZhRGA.461264.008

Variants of KRUS "Sagittarius", depending on the purpose:

- 83t215VR-1/2 - basic / advanced;
- 83t215VR-3 - rangefinder; range finder PDU-4;
- 83t215VR-4 - radio operator; VHF radio R-168-5UN-2;

- 83t215VR-7 - commander;
- 83t215VR-8 - radar operator; Radar "Fara-VR".

The complex is constantly being improved by Radioavionics specialists, and if the first knapsack samples of KRUS, bristling with antennas, were a complete headache for the fighter, then the soldier practically does not notice the load from placing the modern complex on the Ratnik transport vest.

Also, according to the information of the Spetsmedtekhnika company, within the framework of the Sagittarius complex, the use of the RZHDV vital activity registrar, designed for remote medical control indicators of the functional state of the body of a serviceman, reflecting the degree of violation of combat capability with the aim of conducting modern medical and evacuation measures to reduce the number of combat losses, information on the functional state collected by the registrar is transmitted to the KRUS-MS by the shooter-sanitr, the medical instructor and the commander of the medical unit.

The Sagittarius reconnaissance, command and communications complex goes primarily to ground reconnaissance units. The first samples of the complex, after passing through various field and combat tests, are sent for revision.

After successful tests, the ground units began to be massively provided with the complex. By 2013, the armed forces of the Russian Federation received more than one thousand units of the Sagittarius complex and there were no significant comments on the use of the Sagittarius complex from the military personnel of the ground units, where the complexes are mainly received.

KRUS "Sagittarius" can have several levels of equipment. The simplest configuration option is intended for military personnel of departments, up to the commander of the department. The next level of configuration is intended for the platoon commander; the package includes a powerful computer system with a multifunctional type console. The third, most complete level of equipment, is for the unit commander - battalion commander, brigade commander.

The built-in standard radio station with a communication frequency of ~ 2.0 GHz ensures the range of interaction of the complex as part of the department - about one and a half kilometers, but any of the individual Sagittarius complexes works as a repeater, which significantly increases the range and information control of a given area. In addition to voice messages, built-in standard commands can be transmitted over the radio, the recipient can watch or listen to them after receiving. This innovation was introduced specifically to ensure that the scouts do not get distracted from the task, do not lose visual control.
KRUS "Sagittarius" works 12 hours on one battery (and 24 hours on two) in the mode of continuous voice communication and data transmission. The complex operates at temperatures from minus 40 to plus 60 ° C, withstands severe shocks, immersion in water and dirt.

To ensure communication between departments, tablets developed at the STC "Communication" (part of the "Sozvezdie" concern) are used. Two types of tablets are offered for the operation of units: the “TT” tablet and the “AK” tablet. Both tablets are protected with technology that exceeds IP68 standards and can be submerged two meters for a short time.

Tablet "TT" is intended for commanders of infantry units. It is advisable to issue it to fighters of the specialties "machine gunner", "grenade launcher", "sniper" to increase their combat effectiveness. The computer allows you to determine where the unit is located and display it on the map, and with its help the commander can transmit orders. Voice data is transmitted over a secure communication channel, however, it is allowed to use a backup channel of the Wi-Fi standard, the information transfer rate through which reaches 11 Mbps.

The tablet, “AK”, is intended for personnel and supports all the main functions of the commander's model. The tablet acts as a digital compass with the ability to use digital maps.

KRUS incorporates an autonomous navigation module, which is provided with an inertial system. It makes it possible for a soldier to know exactly his coordinates, even if he has left the satellite navigation coverage area. Switching between navigation systems occurs in the complex automatically. The complex can be equipped with a helmet-mounted display subsystem for producing fire from cover.

At the exercises "West-2009" KRUS "Sagittarius" in Once again used to interact with aviation, namely for giving target designations to Su-24M bombers. It looks like this: with the help of a PDU-4 laser rangefinder (range 3-5 km), the coordinates of the target are determined, which are sent to the commander's personal computer.

Then the commander sends them on board the aircraft. The range of action through the R-853-V2M radio station is 8 km, when using a ground repeater - up to 200 km, when using a repeater aircraft at an altitude of 9-10 km - up to 300-400 km. In addition, each aircraft equipped with the SVP-24 system serves as a repeater in itself.

The Sagittarius and Sagittarius-M reconnaissance and command and control complexes (KRUS) for combat equipment of the military man Ratnik are produced at the domestic enterprise Radioavionika.

The complex was put into operation by the Russian Army in 2007.
