In Europe, tested a system of self-destruction shells

Experts of the European Defense Agency tested the self-destruct system for high-precision artillery ammunition. According to Defense aerospaceThe tests were carried out on a Vulcano millimeter caliber 155 adjustable projectile and were considered successful.

Many countries of the European Union do not have large polygons where they could conduct full-fledged tests of artillery guns and their ammunition. The available landfills either border on human settlements or on manufacturing plants. It is assumed that the self-destruction system being developed as part of the MAS GA project (Mission Abort System for Guided Ammunition, an emergency termination system for corrected ammunition) will allow testing of ammunition at small landfills.

The new system, activated at the time of the shot, already in flight, continuously tracks the trajectory of the projectile. If, according to her calculations, the projectile deviates from a given trajectory and can fly out of the range, the self-destruction system destroys the projectile - it is separated into two parts that fall at the border of the shooting range.

MAS GA is a ring with control electronics and a small explosive charge, mounted on the shell of the projectile. The destruction of the projectile in flight is due to the undermining of explosives in the system. MAS GA tests were carried out by shooting PzH2000 German howitzer at the Meppen test range in Germany.

In the near future, the European Defense Agency plans to decide on the start of mass production of the new system. In addition, the agency plans to order the development of reduced versions of MAS GA, which could be used on smaller-sized ammunition up to millimeters 70, reports N + 1

The system is a "shot without a miss"

You at Khokhlov take an interest in how to dispose of it better. Those two warehouses in Kalinovka and Balakley have already been disposed of.

Not - in Kalinovka, the crazy Rostov elk-shahid blew up.

You can then just shoot a powder charge, scare the birds ...

Europeans can’t even give shouts to their hands, they can destroy themselves

self-destruction system destroys a shell

And how much are such ammunition? Lord Europeans, shoot ice shells!
Cheap and cheerful!

It seems to have boasted that it is cheaper than the Escalibur. Beating him in almost all positions ...
Maybe that's why they still cannot be put into service.

[210ox]

And on the Ruin it was used. During storage.

good news . otherwise I was frightened at first that they had done something like our Mercury BM.

Thanks, I didn’t.

Better yet, memorize the coordinates of the nearest points of reception of the complaint. Only paint with different colors, so that later the calculations would not fight for the proceeds

It’s specially invented for fools ... it’s better to destroy a shell than to teach a soldier to correctly calculate the trajectory of a shell. And so, it would be better if rockets were invented with self-destruction, so that the bulldozers would be whole ...

The soldier is not designed to calculate the projectile trajectory

[Govorun]

Well, of course, a soldier must be able to dig trenches and pull a rope from a cannon ... well, bring shells ...

The more electronic systems are used in control systems, the greater is the possibility of influencing these systems. For testing and firing in the conditions of firing ranges, this is a good enough idea, but here’s a military application, it doesn’t work out so that you can get under the influence of electronic warfare systems?

but here is a combat use

This ring will definitely reduce the maximum firing range of the projectile. So the system is clearly not for combat use

Europe is small, there is not enough free space, not all countries can be found on the map the first time))) So they are cast out so that the shell does not fly out of the range.
Let them play, the main thing is not to forget to put on the muffler.

Let them play

For starters, this is a very good ammunition family. This is to make it clear. We have nothing close to us.
Further, it is a direct competitor to the British-American Excalibur, which they are actively promoting as a single CSS for all the armed forces of NATO countries. Moreover, a competitor who beats an opponent in almost all respects From cost and versatility to range and accuracy.
Therefore, the Italian-German consortium for the creation of this family is available only European landfills. They tried to test in South Africa, but apparently something didn’t work out, and therefore they can’t test both the controlled version and the normal version at the maximum range. They are afraid that in the event of an emergency operation they could shell a shell past the landfill and there, by the way, 120 km is the maximum, it can fly anywhere.

the main thing is that the muffler is not forgotten to wear.

As far as I know, this is not a silencer but a test bench.

Give the PIN from this ring! Russian hackers - go ahead!

[Lopatov]

For a long time already on the “Volcano” nothing was heard. I thought they closed the project

[ibn.shamai]

Chu, surprised! Lokhlov has long had a self-destruction system: - Two drunk prapora with a sledgehammer and chisel: and entire warehouses self-destruct

[CAT BAIYUN]

Oh well. Awesome twist - I agree. Finally, they finished it off .... but here is a certain shell with electronics (!) And a small amount of explosives for self-explosion ... But isn’t it stingy? Don’t feed our hackers with bread - give something to hack .. And here such a thing ... I would have thought ....

[XXXIII]

but here’s some kind of shell with electronics (!) and a small amount of explosives for self-explosion ... But isn’t it stingy? laughing

In the tank, how to self-destruct, styling, and then a chain reaction and there is no tank army ....

Let them try to hack electronic watches like "Electronics"
Besides why? In a combat situation, this device will definitely not be used.

[tank66]

In a pair to the "ring" you need an annihilator for shooters / suddenly the ring will refuse / so that if I’ll get out, I don’t know who shot.

[mmk]

Interestingly, such a shell can damage the external modules of armored vehicles?
