Why Penicillin Complexes are concerned with the American military. Experts from the United States rated a new reconnaissance complex "Penicillin" See Suslik? And I do not see. And he is "

There is no salvation from artillery fire! Or is there anyway? Recently, government tests of the newest complex of artillery exploration 1B75 "Penicillin" ended in the Russian Federation. What does he represent and what is needed for?

How to find a gun

The fight against enemy artillery is old and honorable lesson. Even before the First World War, a miracle aggregate was invented under the name "Sound Range Facility Le Blaunge." We take a glass tube with a mixture of water and alcohol, except for fluid inside - a light float-pointer. Seeing the outbreak of a shot, put it vertically. The float is lowered at a certain speed, and when the sound of a shot comes, shifts to a certain number of divisions. After that, you can calculate the distance. The accuracy of this gadget - you can imagine.

The headquarters-captain of the Russian army Nikolai Benua in 1909 came up with a more cunning sound engine. The membrane of tight paper is suspended on a tripod, "face" to the enemy. Suitable sound wave suitable, after which the contacts of the membrane burst and stop the time meter. We put three or four sound posts for several hundred meters - we obtain an approximate distance and direction to the sound source, that is, enemy battery. And shoot in response.

In the first world sound reconnaissance was used might and main. If you need to establish devices and take into account the amendments, the enemy will not save either the night or fog, nor the relief. And you can also adjust your shots!

Experiments with radar for the struggle against enemy artillery began in the second world. First on the fleet, and then on land. And went, went ... Vietnam, Afghanistan, then everywhere.

The enemy's projectile flies - we immediately calculate the trajectory back: to the cannon, mortar or rocket installation. And also send a rattling hot hell.

In our army, this is the installation of artillery intelligence "Zoo" and "Aisto" (and that and the other were used in Syria). In the USA - AN / TPQ-53 of the famous firm Lokhid Martin. Sweden and Norway have Arthur (Artillery Hunting Radar). In addition to shells, some samples also drone can spark.

Why then need Penicillin? Do not hurry with conclusions!

"See Suslik? And I do not see. And he is "

First, the radars are not comprehensive. Their effectiveness against different purposes is seriously different. In real conditions of war in Afghanistan, the Soviet stations ARK-1 were too complicated, and they refused often.

Secondly, it is possible to interfere with radar. Or simply damage their radiation and cover the positions of exploration stations. Finally, you can simply not shoot when an enemy radar works.

But Penicillin is quite another thing! We put some sensor sensors to the soil. The developers assure that they can move even cotton door. The gun shot or the rupture of the projectile is all the more. Up to 25 kilometers away.

Modern computers allow for five seconds to give the coordinates of enemy tools in five seconds, it is worth opening the fire.

The initiating error does not exceed one and a half angles.

Mortarians, for example, be born at a distance of up to 10 kilometers, self-propelled guns - up to 18, rocket installations - up to 40. The exploration band is 20-25 kilometers, and at the same time Penicillin can lead three dozen goals.

In the theory of Penicillin, it is easy to integrate into artillery fire control systems. Radiocommunication range - up to 40 kilometers.

The work of the "Penicillin" on the radar is impossible to throw away. And no one knows, there is this "susslik" nearby - or not.

And "Penicillina" has an optical electronic module. These are six thermal imaging and six television chambers in a single housing and on a retractable telescopic rod. Camera viewing angle - at least 70 degrees.

Instead of sending scouts to the forefront, you can now put the car to the shelter and raise the module. After complete deployment, the complex does not even require the intervention of operators - it works automatically.

The novelty immediately drew attention abroad. National Interest magazine broke out about Penicillin of a separate article. And if the Su-57 fighters usually scold there - they say, they are not so terrible and will be expensive (so it is not necessary to fear the reader), - this time the tone of the article was quite respectful.

For the first time, "Penicillina" was told in March 2017, when an experienced sample was experiencing in the Dongzovsky landfill in the Orenburg region - on the basis of KAMAZ-6350. The Forum "Army 2018" showed the already refined version, on the chassis "Typhoon-K".

Recently ended government tests. What will be next? We'll see. But the fact that new artillery requires new methods to combat it is a fact.

The state tests of the new automated artillery intelligence complex 1B75 "Penicillin" have been completed. This system allows for five seconds to determine the coordinates of the firing position of enemy artillery within a radius of up to 25 km. In addition, Penicillin is adjusted to adjust the firing means of the defeat of friendly forces. Supply of first sounding complexes in troops is expected already in 2020. Experts refer to a key feature of new systems. The opportunity to react to the fire of enemy artillery to the fire and destroy it even before she change their location.

Public tests of the newest automated artillery exploration complex 1B75 "Penicillin" ended in Russia. Moreover, the first two samples of this technique are planned to put in troops in 2020. RIA Novosti reported this in the press service of the Roselectronics Holding.

It is noted that the Savotheplic complex "Penicillin" is intended to detect the firing positions of enemy artillery guns, mortars, reactive systems of salvo flames, as well as the starting positions of anti-aircraft and tactical enemy rockets. At the same time, the system simultaneously leads to adjusting the firing of friendly artillery.

The complex includes somewhat mounted on the surface of the earth and the optoelectronic module. Penicillin receives and processes thermal impact and acoustic signals from the shots and breaks of shells, issuing data on the place of gap of the ammunition, the accuracy of the entry and reports the location of the enemy artillery.

The key feature of the new complex is that it determines the coordinates of a single target within a radius of up to 25 km in just five seconds.

"Penicillin" can maintain firing as a single battery and alternately every division battery. Also, the installation ensures interaction with the subscribers of an automated tactical and operational control system. Radiocommunication range with external subscribers - up to 40 km, "said Roselectronics.

The composition of the optical-electronic module "Penicillin-OEM", which is a complex of heat-controlling equipment (TPA) on a telescopic bar, includes six thermal imaging and six television chambers. All of them are placed in a single case on a rotating and swinging base.

"The radiation that comes from the objects in the exploration sector, the optical electronic components of the product ... is converted to electrical signals and transmitted to the equipment of the reception and display of TPA in real time," is noted in the module development documents.

For the first time, the existence of an automated complex of sound reconnaissance AZTK 1B75 "Penicillin" was known in March 2017. By this time, the testing of the prototype was launched in the Orenburg region in the Dongzovsky landfill.

It was reported that the complex was called upon to replace the traditional principle of adjusting fire with intelligence officers who work on the best with risk for life.

"Unlike them, Penicillin can work on the safe distance from the enemy without the participation of the operator in a fully automated mode, which minimizes the influence of the human factor," said Roselectronics.

In addition, the existing complexes of artillery intelligence are vulnerable to the funds of the electronic struggle of the enemy and anti-radication weapons. In turn, AZTK 1B75 performs tasks without demissing themselves to external radiation.

"Artillery remains one of the important factors on the battlefield"

Previously, the American analytical edition of National Interest published the material entitled "Perhaps Russia has a new means to destroy (American. - RT) severe artillery. " It was about it in it just about the new complex of artillery intelligence in the exhibition "Army-2018".

It is noted that Western radar systems are American Hughes An / TSQ-51 and the Scandinavian Arthur - by virtue of their characteristics, there are difficulties with the detection of small shells and are subject to anti-cancer effects. The unnecessaryness of the Russian system by traditional methods, writes Ni.

Currently, the main artillery means in service with the US Army are 155-mm self-propelled artillery installation M109, towed M119 and M777 (155 mm) and M777 (155 mm), as well as several types of mortars and RSWs (Himars and MLRS). The firing range of most of them by conventional projectiles does not exceed 25 km.

According to the corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences Konstantin Sivkova, the main advantage of Penicillin complex is to have a thermal optoelectronic channel, which allows you to react to the enemy artillery to the fire and apply a control-follower before she has time Change location.

"According to open data, the range of the complex is 25 km, that is, within the tactical zone of defense. Accordingly, light field artillery, mortars - here such objects will mainly work, "said RT expert.

In turn, the Military Observer of the Komsomolsk Pravda Colonel Viktor Barannets noted that foreign experts rightly noticed that the Russian complex would be very seriously influenced by the effectiveness of artillery battle.

"Why did they call the Penicillin complex killer of American artillery. All armies in the world have artillery tools of different caliber and different ranges, and artillery remains one of the important factors on the battlefield, "the source RT told. - It is very important to have accurate coordinates of the location of this or another tool, because the gun makes a few shots and immediately changes the position. And if the technologies do not allow instantly to move its position, it means that the enemy will simply shift this position, and the shells will fly, in fact, on an empty place. "

The expert noted that AZTC 1B75 makes it possible in a matter of seconds with maximum accuracy to determine the shooting point and cover it with a retaliatory fire: "This is one of the elements of the new war, where the speed of the response to the enemy fire is reduced to a minimum."

According to Baranz, foreign experts pay attention to the fact that the high tactical and technical characteristics of the complex are achieved through the use of the latest technologies that only the Russian defense industry has.

"You need to talk about something else: that in this complex there is no single bolt or fee, which we would buy abroad. In this complex, everything is Russian, ranging from the most elementary device and ending with complex electronic systems. Possessing this complex, the Russian army receives very serious anti-pharmary "ears and eyes", which is extremely important when conducting modern hostilities, where time becomes a very serious factor, "the expert added.

"The rate of reaction to the enemy fire is also becoming an additional weapon of our army," he stressed.

"I would like to congratulate our designers, scientists, technologists, engineers who invented and brought to the end of this complex. We will wait for its mass arrival in the Russian army troops, "the Baranets summed up.
