From "Smile" will be brighter all ... RPMK-1 "Smile"

In the Eastern Military District, tests of the automated radio complex RPMK-1 (1B44), which is a new and modern type of special equipment for determining various atmospheric parameters without or with their probes, are being tested. The complex works in real time.

RPMK-1 “Smile” is a new mobile radio direction-finding complex for meteorological purposes that performs humidity, wind and temperature sounding probes to transmit the received data to anti-aircraft and field artillery systems, rocket launchers, tactical missile systems, airborne forces and airborne forces. Designed and created in OKB "Peleng", the production is engaged in the Ural company "Vector". Today it is the most modern complex for providing military units with necessary meteorological data. The complex "Smile" uses adaptive data processing and management methods. It implemented the elements of artificial intelligence.

Using different types of sensing, the complex operates at an altitude of up to 40 kilometers and in range to 200 kilometers. The team of the complex of 5-ti man will be able to bring him into a combat position within 600 seconds. The complex can be operated at temperatures from + 40 to -40 degrees, with relative humidity up to 98 degrees and height above sea level to 3 thousands of kilometers.

The composition of the complex:
- the main machine with the equipment, made on the base of the chassis "Ural-43203";
- a machine with an electrical station, made on the basis of the chassis "URAL-43203";
- a trailer for transportation of cylinders, made on the basis of the chassis "1-П-2.5";

The main modes of operation:
- radio direction finding mode. Used probes "MRZ-5", used output documents: "METEO-11 / 44" and "LAYER";
- radar mode. Probes “MRZ-3 / 4” are used, output documents: “STORM”, “LAYER”, “KH-4” and “GROUND-LAYER”

Key Features:
- altitude "METEO" sounding 30 kilometers;
- The height of the "KN" sounding 40 kilometers;
- range "METEO" sounding 150 kilometers;
- range "KN" sounding 200 kilometers;
- The team of the complex - 5 people;
- time of transition from traveling to combat position - 600 seconds;
- time between failures - 210 hours;
- type of stealth works - direction finding mode;
- used fuel - diesel.

PS It may seem that the methods used are “old-fashioned”, but do not forget about the accuracy, speed and final cost of the complex. One thing is clear that bindings to natural landmarks will provide better accuracy than foreign analogues using satellites and modern electronics. The complex tried to combine all the best (old and new) in this area.

A good name is "Smile". Smiled !!!

We are waiting for the "Laughter" system.

During his entire service in the artillery, the "Meteosredny" bulletin received no more than 5 times, and each time such a shiz ... It will be interesting to observe the positive dynamics in this matter.

With one of the best artillery in the world, we are simply obligated to develop such systems and artillery reconnaissance systems. The artillery is good, but we can’t shoot at long distances.

binding to natural landmarks on the ground will provide better accuracy than foreign counterparts using satellites and modern electronics. The complex tried to combine all the best (old and new) in this area.


Moreover, in a global military even nuclear-free, all satellites quickly beat, GPS does not work.

Cool and useful system! I was especially pleased "The complex can be operated at temperatures from +40 to -40 degrees, with a relative humidity of up to 98 degrees and an altitude above sea level up to 3 thousand kilometers"Straight from space
