Precision missile defense Moscow will grow by half

New coverage should increase the power and range of the radar target detection .Existing and emerging in the Russian system of missile warning ( EWS ) and missile defense (NMD ) will be upgraded . Among the first radars will improve Moscow ABM system , " Don-2N ." New skid plates and panels from composites should increase the detection accuracy missiles approaching half.Relevant work commissioned by Ministry of Industry started in the Radio Engineering Institute ( RTI) Academician Mints ( developer of " Don-2N "). This "Izvestia" deputy chief designer Valentin RTI Losev . According to him , the increase in efficiency of the stations will be achieved through the use of new materials based on polymers .



- Radioprozrachny shelter - only a passive element , it does not amplify the signal . But if you can master the production of new materials for these designs , the reduced loss and thereby increase the power of radiation - Losev said .According to him, the new materials can be made of fiberglass and PTFE films based on quartz fabrics. They can hide any existing or prospective radar.- The question of how these materials to create a radio- design to signal losses were minimal. The material may be foamed or make a cell it should be the minimum amount. It will design and other requirements : it should withstand all external influences , such as snow, wind , - Losev said .Under terms of reference (document is in " Izvestia" ) , the design must also be resistant to "special factors ( shock wave , a pulse of light ) ." Finished products will be a panel of " flat or semi-cylindrical shape ," joined in the section.

- Panels - it is also a protection against external factors , they will prolong the life of antennas - Losev said Valentin .It is expected that the development will enhance the effectiveness of radars MFR 5H20 (" Don-2N ") and 77YA6 CM (prospective modification radar "Voronezh" , is still in development ) . In one and a half times increase working frequency band , the maximum flux density , so as increase the accuracy of identification and selection purposes.- Detection range goals also should increase - about 10% - said Valentin Losev .In the department of state defense and military-technical cooperation Minpromtorga "Izvestia" confirmed that work to improve the early warning system and missile defense systems are carried out in the framework of the state defense order .- These systems are being developed within the framework of the state program of armaments. This is one of the most developed areas of defense, - noted .Chief Editor of " National Defense" Igor Korotchenko recalled that the modernization of the existing system of missile defense and missile warning - one of the priority areas for improving the aerospace defense of Russia. He also noted that the station "Voronezh" can be improved - in the draft laid great modernization potential .

- The Ministry of Defense decided to build a new radar system of missile warning , missile- to cover all areas . Radar type "Voronezh" , which will be adopted , will be more sophisticated than the first releases of the station . But they have the power to increase performance , - said Igor Korotchenko .Moscow missile defense system ( A-135 ) entered service in 1990. It includes 100 missiles far and near interception , command post and radar system " Don-2N ." Objects distributed across the suburbs. Radar System (located in Sofrino ) is able to build the trajectory of an intercontinental missile in flight at a distance of 3.7 thousand kilometers and monitor space at a height of up to 40 thousand kilometers.Radar missile warning "Voronezh" (also developed at the Institute of Mintz ) began to be used for the detection of ballistic and cruise missiles in 2006. In Russia, there are six such stations from Kaliningrad to the Orenburg region , planned to build two more . Modification " Voronezh-DM " (development of SPC " Research Institute of distant radio ") is capable of determining the trajectory of 500 goals in 6 thousand miles.
