Russian submarines will be equipped with optocoupler periscopes

Russian submarines received optoelectronic (optocoupler) periscopes capable of detecting objects on the surface of the water at any time of the day in a short time, according to News With reference to the chief engineer of the St. Petersburg Central Research Institute "Electropribor" Vitaly Postnikov.

“Such periscopes are installed on all submarines under construction of the Russian Navy fleetand those that are currently in operation, they will be installed during their repair and modernization, ”Postnikov said.

“Externally, the optocoupler periscope is no different from the traditional ones, it is a telescopic mast, on top of which an optical unit is installed. But inside it is a completely new device, where the usual system of refracting image lenses is replaced by electronics. The optic periscope is connected to the central post of the boat by cable lines connected to a special control panel. The image from it is transmitted to several combat posts of the ship simultaneously. Previously, only one person who was directly at the periscope could see what was happening on the surface, ”the article says.

Another feature of the periscope is its ability “to make a complete revolution in a split second and video everything that happens on the surface - the system detects enemy ships, submarines, airplanes and helicopters within a radius of several tens of kilometers,” the newspaper writes.

The system automatically recognizes targets and displays their parameters and coordinates.

The key element of the periscope is a pancratic optical system (developed by the holding company Shvabe), which allows you to change the viewing angle smoothly and without loss of clarity, bringing the image of objects closer (to put it simply - optical zoom).

Military expert Yury Lyamin: “Such devices have many advantages compared to traditional periscopes. The use of a flexible cable eliminates the need to drill a large hole in the durable submarine casing, and also excludes from the internal layout of the submarine the periscope shaft that passes through the entire hull. At the same time, an opto-mast, in comparison with traditional means of viewing, can provide observation not only in the optical range, but also in the infrared, which is especially important for use at depth.

Everything is good, everything is correct. Only "for several tens of kilometers" the steamer will be hidden behind the curvature of the planet's surface. There, beyond the horizon, somewhere

Satellites will help and transmit the info to the boat through this periscope. The satellite will not hide behind the horizon.

... it all depends ... on the state of the sea ... calm water or excitement ... with calm water, the height of the periscope above the surface is 2 m. ... a boat with a side height of 1 m can be seen from 9 km. ... under the same conditions and the height of the periscope above the surface, a steamer 25 meters high will be visible for 24 km. ... these are all Pythagorean pants on all sides equal + the diameter of Mother Earth and another gift of Nature at + 6% due to refraction (reflection of rays from the upper layers of the atmosphere) in general, the visible horizon and the line of sight are not the same thing. ... especially at sea ...

According to the navigation tables, the top of the object, 25 meters high, with an observer's height at sea level of 2 meters, will be visible up to 13 miles or 24 km. An object with a height of 1 m will be visible up to 5 miles. The tables have already taken into account all the amendments. But when they did an experiment with a laser. Then the point of incidence of the beam at a distance of 5 km turned out to be higher by 180 cm of the same point when removing an object in 100 meters.
And the distance "several tens" is already from forty. But not 25. In our country, people who write about this do not bother and mold humpbacks. so questions start to arise

[gridasov]

It is worth noting that at different levels of salinity, wind speed, temperature affecting evaporation and many other factors, these indicators will change. It is impossible to build tables. But here it is possible to build a model of analysis of all the cumulative relationships and from this it is possible to produce information in the form of a changing process algorithm. The increase in various kinds of incoming information in such an analytical system will only add accuracy to the conclusions. Therefore, the influence of all the processes indicated is a flight of a bullet or a projectile above water or a laser beam of various pulse configurations or just an aircraft flight over water — all these are parts of one e-mail. magnetic process of interactions. And there’s nothing new in principle

For this, it would be necessary for Liana to work at full capacity and the new electronic surveillance system, which they intend to launch before the 25th year, was also in orbit.

The boats still have a remote locator antenna

By the way, in the photo above. Shows the K-51 "Verkhoturye" retractable devices on sea trials after repair, July 2013. From left to right: PMU "Anis-MV", MRK-50 radar, PZNG-8M periscope, K- type antenna 652 "Iva-MV", PMU "Sintez"

[Mushroom]

And why then a periscope? -The satellite sent the info to the antenna and that torpedo gave a command and she sneezed to the battleship and kaputt. Not a periscope but a strap-on)))

[MaxMelan]

Yeah! But this doesn’t interfere with the ordinary re-examination ... Lish would have to complain. Yes, setting goals by eye and then the computer will immediately issue. Only Senya has a question for the system. And what will happen if this system is blinded? Laser example. We already have this in service. For example, similar installations like a laser on a tank armor forgot what is called a Pinocchio similar. Such things can be put on ships now. Even right now, one could experience Kuznetsov’s campaign. The question is, is there a spare tire? And the main thing is whether you need to keep a regular old-style optical like NZ. If not the same as now, then simplified.

Everything is cool, happy.
But when will they catch it?
How many copies we break with "VO"

[lelikas]

And what's the point of breaking them? Less sophisticated, already from the 70s there are and are developing, it is clear that the author of the article is simply not in the know.

Do you even read the articles to the end?
"Such periscopes are installed on all submarines of the Russian Navy under construction, and on those that are now in service, they will be installed during their repair and modernization," Postnikov said.

[Mushroom]

and you do not break-you bend it-in an arc ...

[katalonec2014]

In other words, the commander can not get up from the chair, it is enough to give the command to the watch officer to look around, and he will see everything that is happening on the monitor, and for one and the other in the compartments, it’s cool, especially for ordinary sailors who do not have the privilege to go up.

[katalonec2014]

The koment has been deleted, but you will unsubscribe to me in PM, tell me everything, I promise I won’t complain.

(c) The image from it is broadcast simultaneously to several combat posts of the ship at the same time.

"What technology has come to: your mother is being handed over here and there."
I like it more in a different interpretation: "what the technique has come to, your mother, and there, and here they transmit." Sorry comrades, Friday mood!

[Black Colonel]

The main thing is that the periscope does not need to loom on the surface for a long time - it spun, recorded it and folded back. Those. time for visual "pale" is reduced at times.

[Peacemaker]

It is strange that they have not used such a system for a long time. You can also add the use of disposable drones in pop-up capsules. As well as the use of underwater drones paired with a boat.

Quote from rudolf

Optocoupler non-penetrating masts are already a standard for the world submarine construction. Well, for us ... hi-tech, know-how and "has no analogues." It's good that we wake up sometimes.

So optocouplers are not the end of the world, let’s catch up, and the norm for the West is a certain exaggeration, in percentage terms.

Any information should be subjected to analytical processing. If we are talking about visual perception within the optical laws of physical processes, then this is only part of the opportunity to obtain reliable information. Therefore, it is necessary to strive for a process that will be provided as a human. The system of visual, acoustic, tactile, intuitive, judicious and other ways of receiving information must be processed by an "intelligent machine" and which will produce a result that will be perceived by the human brain. The essence of such a process is to harmonize incoming information, not opposition or confrontation. Therefore, special attention should be paid precisely to the mathematical methods of coordinating various flows of information so that it is transmitted without distortion, otherwise in dynamic processes that are gaining momentum, the danger of perception at the level of illusion and virtuality is increasing more and more. What we see everywhere

Well, thank God, at least one smart person explained everything

[Mentat]

Is the author sick? What does optronics have to do with it? So write: they install a video camera instead of a prism system. But then there will be no loud heading.

[nickgv]

Parktronic helps me with the rear parking. It must be guaranteed reliability, accuracy and stealth

[Former battalion commander]

Well, finally ... not even a couple of decades have passed since the first use of such a device on submarines ... Better late than ... never ...

[minus]

It seems that the engineer writes ... What is such an optronic? Open channel emitter and receiver? So immediately the detection means detect the radiation from the periscope ... Optoelectronic is the correct name.

It would be better to have mastered the aoerobic units, without them they are not submarines but corpses. The Westerners are already working hard and we never did. Resentment-to float without them every 4-3 days against the enemy with them for 2-3 weeks. Something is in the wrong direction, brain activity is directed. And did our engineers just not have time to bring the minds to the USSR and the drawings are not finished in the archives. (We have all the ideas from there, from the dusty basement) They can, because the more complicated the product, the less chance it is to bring it to mind? As an example, the notorious Bulova, let them try to run it at least on a bandage or something. Or are super-duper periscopes so important to us, with torpedoes to bang usual on aircraft carriers?)))

Write in MO Shoigu. And to the president. And before that, who is in charge of the fleet there?

[Jubilee]

the main thing is that development continues!
