Complex aerial reconnaissance"Tipchak" was developed by OJSC "Design Bureau Luch" in the city of Rybinsk. Work on its creation began in the late 80s. At the end of 2006 - beginning of 2007, the complex successfully passed the first stage of state tests. The Tipchak aerial reconnaissance complex with UAV-05 (formerly 9M62) is designed to detect various objects from the air, identify them, determine and transmit the coordinates of their location in real time to consumers at any time of the day at a distance of up to 40 km from the ground control point . If necessary, it can be replaced with equipment for radio engineering or chemical reconnaissance, relaying and other purposes.

The complex ensures high accuracy of the UAV following the route and the ability to install various payloads on it, use the device autonomously (according to the program) and in direct radio control mode. Reconnaissance of ground objects can be carried out simultaneously by two aircraft. The range of the complex is determined by the range of the radio link and can be increased by installing a new one with increased capabilities.

The Tipchak complex includes 4 vehicles and up to 6 UAV-05:

— The UAV-05 “Tipchak” unmanned aerial vehicle is designed to transport reconnaissance and transceiver equipment in order to receive and transmit to a ground control station species information in real time, both during autonomous (according to the program) and radio command flight along a given route. High technology ensures quick assembly of the UAV, stored disassembled, and its preparation (no more than 15 minutes) for flight immediately before its use. A piston engine is used as a propulsion system in a remotely piloted reusable aircraft.

— The antenna machine is used to transmit control commands simultaneously to two UAVs, determine their coordinates using the radar method, and receive telemetry, navigation and view information. It houses equipment for controlling two UAVs and a 12-meter antenna-mast device, which provides reliable control and exchange of information with low-flying UAVs. Power supply is supplied from a three-phase AC network 380/22 V (50 Hz) or from built-in diesel generators.

— The operator machine is designed to control the complex and ensures registration, processing and display of telemetric and visual information, its correction, binding to a digital map of the area, identification of reconnaissance objects and their coordinates, as well as interaction with control authorities and consumers of intelligence information.
The issuance of a formalized report after the end of reconnaissance does not exceed 30 seconds.

— The transport-launch vehicle (TLM) is designed for storing and transporting 6 containers with UAVs, preparing them and launching them using a pneumatic catapult. When preparing the UAV for launch, the vehicle takes a position. Simultaneously with the assembly of the aircraft, the pneumatic system is also prepared, with the help of which, after installing the UAV on the catapult, it is launched.
The vehicle is a wheeled chassis based on a KamAZ vehicle with a platform with an ejection device, a control panel, six containers for UAVs, a diesel electric unit and performance monitoring equipment placed on it.
The TPM catapult ensures the take-off of a UAV weighing up to 70 kg with an acceleration of up to 12 units at the moment of lift-off. The time for deploying and collapsing the machine does not exceed 20 minutes, power consumption is 14 kW. The fuel supply for the UAV engine provides at least 30 launches.

- Car technical support serves to carry out routine maintenance on UAVs, search and select landed aircraft, carry out minor repairs if necessary, monitor the performance of the UAV and deliver it to the TBM for reuse, as well as transportation of supplies of consumables and spare parts.

The existing configuration of the complex ensures ease of use and meets customer requirements. If necessary, taking into account the weight and dimensions of the equipment, the complex can be placed on one vehicle with a trailer and supplied in a reduced configuration. In this case, the total cost of the complex is reduced, its mobility is increased, but the working conditions of the operators are significantly worsened.

In 2007, the UAV-05 as part of the complex successfully passed state and military tests and is in trial operation. The complex can significantly increase the efficiency of cannon and rocket artillery. This is ensured by providing detailed reconnaissance information about the terrain and enemy targets, conducting reconnaissance deep in the combat area with minimal risk to personnel, reducing ammunition consumption during strikes, and improving the quality and efficiency of exchange of information between units when interacting with command and control authorities.

The main advantages of the complex are the presence of a digital noise-resistant radio link for control and transmission of broadband information, a reliable flight navigation system, and a small-sized optical-electronic system high resolution, an information and software complex for automated processing of intelligence information in real time and a modern element base.

According to information from Luch Design Bureau, a phased modernization of the Tipchak complex is currently underway in order to increase its main tactical and technical characteristics - range up to 100:120 km, UAV flight time up to 6:8 hours, as well as in the direction of reducing the number support vehicles and cost reduction. The Tipchak complex is considered in the future as a base for further development - using its unified elements and technologies, it is planned to create a number of new complexes with short- and medium-range UAVs for various purposes, which are extremely necessary for the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as for providing security forces and industrial structures.

Thus, recently, in addition to the ground version, a sea (coastal) version of the functioning of the Tipchak complex was created, which provides a full cycle of reconnaissance and observation of the sea surface in given coordinates at any time of the day with the simultaneous use of two UAVs. The complex ensures the receipt and processing of species information in real time, and the delivery of information based on observation results to the control point.

To expand the UAV model range, capabilities and scope of application of the complex, in 2005 work began on the creation of two more aircraft - UAV-07 and UAV-08:

— the BLA-07 device, a small-sized reusable tactical UAV with a piston engine, was created to provide reconnaissance of naval targets. This is a 35-kilogram drone, the payload of which includes a combined TV/IR camera and a high-resolution digital camera.

— the BLA-08 device of a normal aircraft design with a reverse V-shaped tail (90-kilogram, low-speed with a long flight time), is the largest and most functional of the entire Tipchakov line. Its payload may include a digital dual-spectrum camera, a gyro-stabilized optical-electronic system, a side-view radar, relay equipment, electronic reconnaissance equipment, electronic warfare and radiation-chemical reconnaissance.

Basic requirements for modern ground reconnaissance equipment

The main combat properties that characterize the capabilities of a potential enemy include:

Mobility and maneuverability;

Availability of intelligence information received almost in real time from space-based and air-based means (radar means, electronic reconnaissance and radio reconnaissance means, optical-electronic means);

Accuracy of destruction by land-based (sea-based) and air-based weapons.

Targets in troop groups can be classified as follows:

Class 1 - tracked vehicles;

Class 2 - wheeled vehicles;

Class 3 - people;

Class 4 - aviation equipment on the ground (helicopters (anywhere) and airplanes (at airfields)).

Based on their quantitative composition, these classes can be divided into large groups(for example, columns of troops, aviation at airfields), medium groups (for example, battle formations divisions) and small groups (units).

The main factors determining effectiveness of fire control and strikes against enemy ground targets are:

Location reconnaissance (including direction of movement), classification and identification quantitative composition object in real time at ranges that provide the possibility of using fire weapons;

The efficiency of fire impact, determined by the reaction time of combat systems, the relative position of fire weapons and targets, maneuverability and range of weapons;

Accuracy of targeting of striking elements and their radius of destruction;

Assessing the effectiveness of a strike.

The key element in ensuring the effectiveness of fire destruction is ground reconnaissance means, information from which must meet the following requirements:

Timeliness;

Credibility;

Completeness and accuracy of data.

In addition, when conducting defense in a limited area reconnaissance assets must meet the following requirements:

Stealth;

Low vulnerability;

Ability to operate in enemy-occupied territory.

brief analysis of the state and prospects for the development of existing ground reconnaissance means

The main means of conducting ground reconnaissance at present are:

Ground artillery reconnaissance radars (SNAR), located on a self-propelled chassis (for example, SNAR-10);

Artillery radar systems(ARK) marks of firing positions (for example, ARK-1, “Zoo”);

Sound-metric complexes (ZMK) for artillery reconnaissance (for example, 1B19, AZK-5);

Portable ground reconnaissance stations (for example, PSNR-5). At the same time, the first three classes of tools provide information

only artillery, and the fourth class - ground forces units in a limited sector.

Ground artillery reconnaissance radar stations. Such stations are designed to conduct reconnaissance of moving ground (surface) targets, as well as serve artillery fire. The main advantages of the SNAR are high mobility, the ability to reconnaissance moving targets and adjust artillery fire in the presence of direct visibility in difficult weather conditions, with smoke and dust. The main disadvantages of the SNAR are its low search capabilities in difficult terrain and wooded areas, the inability to detect (and adjust fire) using stationary (stopped) equipment, as well as low stealth due to the emission of powerful probing signals. The presence of powerful radiation leads to the detection and direction finding of the SNAR by the enemy within a few seconds from the moment the work begins, which entails fire suppression of the SNAR and a nearby artillery unit within a few minutes from the moment the work begins.

Artillery radar systems marking firing positions. These complexes are designed to determine the coordinates of enemy artillery positions by measuring the parameters of the ballistic trajectory of a projectile. The main advantage of the ARC is the speed of obtaining enemy coordinates directly from the position of the artillery unit. The main disadvantage of the ARK (without taking into account the cost and complexity of working in conditions of massive enemy fire) is the emission of powerful sounding signals, which provides the enemy with operational fire suppression of the ARK and artillery unit.

Sound-metric systems for artillery reconnaissance. The main advantage of the ZMK is the absolute secrecy of its operation, which ensures continuous reconnaissance in close proximity to the line of contact between troops. Along with this, ZMK developed before the 80s of the last century have the following disadvantages:

Low efficiency in combined arms combat (reflected signals, shots small arms, shots from enemy guns and mortars from flank areas, shots from friendly artillery units), in the presence of wind, as well as when the enemy simultaneously uses fire weapons from several points and rapid fire;

Low efficiency of preparing initial data for firing, which allows the enemy (self-propelled artillery installations and multiple launch rocket systems) to move away from a retaliatory strike to new firing positions;

Low mobility big time deployment that does not meet the conditions of transience and high maneuverability of modern combat operations.

At the same time, with deep modernization, sound measuring systems can become one of the ideal means of passive reconnaissance, since the main part of the shortcomings is due to outdated structures for constructing base points and the lack of equipment that implements effective signal processing algorithms in conditions of interference and real-time information. a large number goals.

Thus, taking into account the shortcomings inherent in radar equipment, sound-based reconnaissance is practically the only type of reconnaissance to a depth of 10 - 20 kilometers that meets the requirements for secrecy, all-weather capability and continuity of operation in difficult terrain and wooded areas. The priority of this type of reconnaissance, taking into account the rapid development of high-precision weapons operating on radiation sources, will only increase in the next decade.

Portable ground reconnaissance stations. These stations are designed to monitor the movements of troops and military equipment, provide adjustments to the firing of fire weapons, protect borders and facilities, and combat crime and terrorism. PSNR of various classes perform their tasks at short (up to 3 km), short (up to 10 km) and medium (up to 40 km) ranges. The impetus for the development of PSNR was the American-Vietnamese War, during which these stations showed themselves to be an effective means of detecting single and group moving targets in conditions of limited optical visibility. The main disadvantages of the PSNR are the low efficiency of operation in difficult terrain and wooded areas, as well as the inability to detect stationary (stopped) equipment. In addition, in PSNR developed 30 - 40 years ago, there is no possibility of viewing space with automatic detection, tracking and recognition of targets. Currently, more than a hundred types of PSNR and their modifications have been created and put into service, and work on creating new and modernizing existing stations does not stop.

Analysis of existing ground reconnaissance means allows us to do the following: conclusions regarding their development and prospects for application. Firstly, radar reconnaissance means will be developed in the direction of increasing the secrecy of operation and information capabilities, as well as integration with other means. Taking into account the steady growth in the capabilities of electronic reconnaissance means, the priority place among ground-based radar stations (radars) will be taken by short-range and short-range millimeter-wave PSNR. The main means of reconnaissance of the ground situation (primarily in the interests of the attacking side) to great depths with low optical visibility and in conditions of difficult terrain and wooded areas will be unmanned (low-speed and high-speed) aircrafts, carrying on-board small-sized radars with antenna aperture synthesis. Secondly, when organizing ground defense of territories, important areas and objects, there will be an increase in the use of passive funds detection, combined to increase information content into network systems at different levels.

Eventually, The requirements for modern and especially promising ground reconnaissance means when supporting combat operations of ground forces are most fully met by:

- reconnaissance and signaling devices (RSD), used locally or in the form of network systems and deployed in the operational-tactical zone, in territory occupied by the enemy, or in the contact zone;

Portable small-sized sound-metric systems, used locally or in the form of network systems and deployed in tactical combat zones of friendly and enemy troops, as well as on enemy territory;

Small-sized reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board small-sized radars and optical systems, launched from unprepared positions.

Next, let us turn our attention to the RSP as a means of building a passive ground reconnaissance system that has high secrecy while providing sufficiently complete intelligence information about the location and nature of the actions of enemy troops.

brief analysis of the application and state of development of reconnaissance and signaling devices

Reconnaissance and signaling devices (RSD) began to be developed in the early 50s of the last century by the US ground forces. In 1954, RSPs were tested during combat operations in Korea, but were not widely used.

During the Vietnam War in mid-1968, the US Institute for Defense Studies recommended that the Department of Defense create a barrier system, dubbed the “McNamara Line” in the press, to prevent the transfer of troops and weapons from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. For the installation and maintenance of the McNamara Line, the 728th Joint Task Force and a special secret group were formed, which was engaged in the development of RSP and had practically unlimited spending capabilities Money. In the course of the work, several types of RSP were created: seismic, seismoacoustic, magnetic, electromagnetic, passive infrared (IR) and gas analyzing. First combat use The RSP took place in January 1968 in the area of ​​the base Marine Corps Khe Sanh, where for the first time RSPs proved their high efficiency. Based on the results of the application, it was argued that the majority of strikes on the attacking forces of North Vietnam (over 500 artillery, several hundred air strikes, including 16 strikes by B-52 aircraft) were carried out according to the detection of RSP. After this, the widespread use of RSP in ground operations began.

American experts believe that a battalion equipped with RSP can monitor an area twice as large in area as the observation area of ​​a battalion that does not have RSP, and their use can reduce losses by 2 to 4 times.

The high efficiency of the RSP gave impetus to equipping US allies with them and the development of similar devices in many developed countries. Currently, there are more than 100 types of RSP with various principles target detection, two thirds of which are developed in the United States. Based on the type of physical field used, these devices are divided into seismic, acoustic, magnetic, electromagnetic, radar, television, thermal imaging, laser, capacitive, gradiometric, hydroacoustic, and contact RSP. To increase the efficiency of exploration, combined RSPs are used (seismomagnetic, seismoelectromagnetic, seismoacoustic, magnetoseismoacoustic).

Control of the enemy's location using reconnaissance and signaling devices

Ground reconnaissance systems built on the basis of RSP can be used to solve the following tasks:

Reconnaissance in areas of expected concentration (movement) of enemy troops;

Reconnaissance of the most likely routes of movement of enemy troops, directions and intensity of their movement;

Control of the most important enemy targets (airfields, commanding heights, bridges, road forks, bases, etc.);

Control of areas of possible landings and areas of river crossings;

Protection of places of deployment of one’s forces, minefields, approaches to bridges, etc.;

Issuing target designations to other reconnaissance forces and assets with greater capabilities;

Security (in combination with other means) of military and important civilian facilities to prevent reconnaissance and sabotage groups and terrorists from entering their territory;

Security of sites state border and lines of separation of opposing forces.

An example of controlling an enemy zone using RSP is shown in Fig. 1.

Tinted triangles indicate information cells built on the basis of RSP and having secret radio channels for transmitting data about detected objects. Data from information cells is transmitted to receiving and processing devices located behind the contact line.

Structure of an integrated system for remote ground reconnaissance

The requirements for reconnaissance equipment intended for reconnaissance and information support of combat operations of troops determine the principles for constructing promising remote surveillance systems, the main of which are:

Principle 1 - “secrecy”;

Principle 2 - “completeness of primary sources of information”;

Principle 3 - “distribution in space”.

First principle requires visual and electromagnetic secrecy of system elements. This requirement is best met by small-sized passive RSPs, which are located in the ground or on the surface (in grass, bushes, etc.).

Second principle requires solving problems of detection, coordinate measurement and recognition at the level of primary sources of information (information cell based on RSP, portable
ZMK, reconnaissance UAV). The implementation of this principle allows:

Radically reduce the requirements for data transmission speed in communication lines and, accordingly, increase their secrecy and noise immunity by reducing peak power and increasing the length of the information bit modulation code;

Use the information received at the level of the unit in whose sector of responsibility the primary source of information is located.

Third principle requires the construction of a system based on autonomous primary sources of information (information cells), distributed in space and ensuring the collection of information in the most important local areas that are inaccessible to constant observation. An example of the structure of an information cell based on RSP, intended for use in a ground reconnaissance system, is presented in Fig. 2.

In an information cell that provides surveillance of a ground enemy within a radius of hundreds of meters to several kilometers, it is most advisable to use seismic, acoustic, seismoacoustic, infrared and radar sensors, which autonomously solve enemy location problems and transmit data to a device for receiving and processing information via radio channels, wired or optical channels. Data on targets detected by the information cell:

Transmitted by a built-in VHF transmitter to a level 1 information receiving and processing device;

They are transmitted to the receiver of a special group, which can be located in close proximity (at a distance of up to several kilometers).

Information cells from RSP sets, sets of small-sized ZMK and small-sized reconnaissance UAVs are combined into a comprehensive system for remote ground reconnaissance, an example of which is presented in Fig. 3.

Such a complex system has the following properties:

- continuity of operation in the combat zone (including enemy territory) at any time of the day;

Availability of information in real time and on various levels consumption (special group, unit, unit, etc.);

Non-criticality to failure of individual primary sources of information.

Information from such a system ensures in real time the delivery of targeted strikes against a detected enemy using attack aircraft, helicopters, missile systems volley fire, artillery, as well as special groups and special forces.

Based on the above, the following conclusions can be drawn:

1. The main requirements for modern means of remote ground reconnaissance intended for organizing ground defense are timeliness, reliability, completeness and accuracy of the information received, as well as secrecy, low vulnerability and the ability to operate in territory occupied by the enemy. These requirements are most fully met by reconnaissance and signaling devices and portable small-sized sound-metric systems, used autonomously or in the form of networked systems, as well as small-sized reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles with on-board small-sized radars and optical systems, launched from unprepared positions.

2. The greatest efficiency of remote ground reconnaissance is achieved when building a reconnaissance system in the form of autonomous sources of information, combined into a real-time system with access to information at any level. This approach ensures minimization of the time of receipt and use of information both at the unit level and at the level of command and control of ground forces and aviation. This makes it possible to ensure timely strikes against ground enemies.

3. The creation of promising remote ground reconnaissance systems is based on the development of information elements (smart sensors, small-sized sound-metric complexes, small-sized airborne radars with antenna aperture synthesis) and small-sized data transmission devices that meet the requirements of stealth and noise immunity. The real basis for the creation of domestic information elements is the results of the Demeres enterprise, achieved in the development of acoustic and seismo-acoustic sensors for automatic detection and recognition, radar detection sensors, coordinate measurement and recognition with antenna aperture synthesis, and small-sized sound-metric ground reconnaissance complexes.

New reconnaissance, control and communications complex "Strelets"

Intelligence officers of the Western Military District (WMD) began to master the Strelets reconnaissance, control and communications complex to issue target designations to fighter and front-line bombers, as well as army aviation helicopters.

The military will study tactical specifications complexes and in practice will work out the tasks of guiding combat aircraft and helicopters to command posts, material and technical bases, ammunition depots and fuel and lubricants of the mock enemy.

Upon completion of the training, there will be a control session, during which the aircraft controllers, using the Strelets KRUS, will have to link maps to the area around the training ground, determine the coordinates of targets, their range, main landmarks and means of attack for the crews.Classes are held at the training center for retraining aviation personnel in Lipetsk.

The new Armata tanks will be tested by the troops >>

Control and communications intelligence complex (KRUS) “Strelets” and today it looks like a fantasy, although in fact the “Sagittarius”, 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, produced since 2011 and constantly improved.

The complex is continuously improved by specialists from Radioavionics (Russia).Saint Petersburg), and if the first KRUS backpack samples, bristling with antennas, were a solid headache for the military, then the load from placement modern complex on the Ratnik transport vest the soldier practically does not notice.

The first generation equipment was called “Permyachka”. The second generation of equipment was called “Ratnik” after the OCD. Next there should be equipment of the third generation - the corresponding research work “Ratnik-3” is underway, where the number “three” means the generation number, and not the version number of “Warrior”, and “Ratnik-2” simply does not exist.

It should be noted that the transition from “Ratnik” to “Ratnik-3” will be gradual, with partial replacement of elements, some new elements will appear in the near future.

For example, in the near future, Ratnik may include sensors for medical and biological conditions - TsNIITOCHMASH, which is actively developing medical technologies - as well as protective glasses with information projected onto their glass.

Consideration is being given to including mine-resistant shoes in “Ratnik”, which will save you from anti-personnel mines. In addition, the possibility of placing mine detection sensors in these shoes is being considered, as well as the possibility of placing a minefield suppression system in the shoes or somewhere in the equipment.

In 2017 for Ground Forces(SV), Airborne Forces and Marine Corps, 50,000 sets of “Ratnik” equipment will be purchased. By 2020, almost all military personnel of the RF Armed Forces can receive a set of “Ratnik” soldier combat equipment.

The UPOI is designed to receive information coming from the DCS and display it on a light display. The UPOI has a sound and light alarm about the receipt of a package (information) from the DCS, as well as a clock for determining the time of receipt of information. The design of the 1 T 813 makes it possible to operate it in a car, armored personnel carrier, helicopter, both parked and in motion (flight) without connecting to an external radio antenna.
