Complex of intelligence, control and communication "Strelets"
When solving a task, the commander of an infantry unit must have contact with his fighters, and also maintain the possibility of sharing data with other units. Proper communication and management are key to the efficient operation of the unit. To solve these problems, a special complex of reconnaissance, control and communications (KRUS) Strelets was created in our country. In the recent past, this system has been upgraded, ensuring the growth of the main characteristics.
KRUS "Strelets" was created by several Russian organizations and enterprises operating in the field of electronic systems. The project participants presented various components for various purposes, which then became part of a full-fledged complex. Now the production samples of the Strelets are manufactured by Radioavionika. Some participants in the development are involved in the production on the rights of suppliers of individual products.

The development of the project "Sagittarius" was completed in the middle of the two thousandth, and already in 2007 the army received the first samples of communication complexes. According to the results of the first years of operation in the reconnaissance units of the ground forces, the Ministry of Defense has compiled a list of necessary improvements. KRUS was refined according to the wishes of the personnel, as a result of which the delivery of its improved version began. Several years ago, a deep modernization was carried out, the result of which was the new complex "Strelets-M".
The Sagittarius and the Sagittarius-M reconnaissance, control and communications complexes are complementary to the Ratnik military outfit. With the help of this equipment, fighters should keep in touch with each other and third-party interlocutors, perform reconnaissance and transmit data, etc. From the point of view of the basic functions and capabilities of the Strelts KRUS, this is a supplement and replacement for the previously used voice communication stations used in land units.

The Sagittarius KRUS has a modular architecture and includes blocks for various purposes. The composition of the blocks used is determined by the position and specialization of a specific fighter. So, the set for simple shooters differs in the reduced complete set, whereas the unit commander may need a full set of blocks. There are also several common blocks used in all trim levels. Total proposed six versions of the "Sagittarius", ensuring the work of fighters of different specializations.
The main “common” element of the complex is a platform unloading vest to which all other devices are attached. Due to the availability of space, this vest can also be used with different pouches for other goods. Near the belt on the base vest are fixed so-called. the hardware container and the container with the rechargeable battery. Various consoles and communications are encouraged to fasten on the chest. Antenna devices of communication facilities of the complex are placed on the shoulders. During the recent modernization, engineers optimized the placement of individual elements of the complex, but the basic principles remained unchanged.

The key component of the Sagittarius KRUS is the hardware container of the AK-1 type. This product is a compact computer in a protected version. Using a variety of cables, AK-1 connects to all other components of the system. Through it also provides power to the entire complex. The KPE-1 primary power supply container is responsible for the power supply.
Communication within the unit and beyond is carried out using the appropriate components of the Sagittarius. The fighter must use a telephone-microphone headset with voice communication and active noise cancellation. Also, the standard computer of the complex is capable of transmitting and receiving data. Reception and transmission of radio signals is provided by an individual radio communication module (MIRS). His antenna device is made in the form of a hemispherical block placed on the waist of the vest. A similar antenna device is used as part of the ICSU - satellite navigation system module.

On the chest of the unloading vest is placed the remote control operational management of the POU. This device has a set of buttons for controlling various functions of the Sagittarius KRUS. It is turned on and off, the use of the radio station, as well as emergency signals. COI is designed in such a way that a soldier can use it as simply and efficiently as possible, including without visual control.
It also provides for the use of a multifunctional MFP console and several types of commander remotes that allow solving relatively complex tasks. With the help of these devices with a graphical interface and push-button control, the unit commander can monitor the tactical situation, receive and transmit data, as well as control the actions of his fighters. In addition, it monitors the state of the soldiers, including the timely detection of injuries.
In later versions of the KRAS "Strelets", full-fledged tablet computerized consoles were introduced for all fighters. Thus, the product "AK" has simplified functions and allows you to receive various information in a timely manner. In addition, it is used as a means of data transfer and navigator. Commanders are invited to use the tablet "TT" with an extended set of functions.

With the KRUS "Strelets" and "Strelets-M" compatible with several existing radio stations that provide data exchange with other units or structures. For communication in the near zone, it is proposed to use the radio station P-853-B2M or P-168-5UN-2. There is a satellite communications station P-438-M. These funds are included in the set of individual fighters.
The Sagittarius reconnaissance, control and communications complex is carried out in several variants corresponding to the fighter's specialization. First of all, basic and advanced kits are offered, including navigation, communication and target designation tools. They should be used by arrows, as well as branch commanders. There are two variants of the complex with various radio stations offered for use by radio operators. A commander’s kit with a full set of tools, a rangefinder kit with a remote-angle-goniometer remote control unit 4 have also been developed. The latter can be used to determine the coordinates of the target, and also has the functions of photo and video. Finally, the customer is offered a set of Fara-BP radar operator.
Depending on the configuration, the soldier's KRUS “Strelets” or “Strelets-M” can continuously operate from an existing battery for 8-12 h. Radio-electronic means initially provided communication between the fighters at distances up to 1,5 km. In the future, the range of direct communication was increased. The equipment of each soldier can also perform the functions of a repeater, so that the maximum range of communication increases, respectively, the configuration of this "network". It is also possible to interact with other repeaters of the ground-based or air-based signal.

The remote measuring device Remote Control-4 provides observation and determination of object coordinates at distances up to 3-5 km. It has the function of photo and video shooting with file transfer to the unit commander. However, the use of these functions and the benefits of them are directly related to the current state of the radio. In some situations, transferring a video file can be difficult and time consuming.
Using the appropriate set of modules, the unit commander can monitor the status of his soldiers in real-time, monitor their status, and also transmit orders or receive reports. The remote-tablet displays information in graphical form, and is also capable of processing various commands and transmitting the necessary data to the fighters in the entire range of communication means. Soldiers, respectively, can take instructions from the commander and report on their implementation with the help of their own simplified complexes.
One of the first in the Russian army of the SAC "Sagittarius" mastered reconnaissance units of the ground forces. With the use of new systems, they are able to observe, find various objects and carry out guidance aviation or artillery, or simply transmit data to headquarters.

When solving reconnaissance tasks, the work of the unit equipped with Sagittarius looks relatively easy. Being in the observation position, the reconnaissance aircraft with the remote control unit 4 must perform target detection and determine its coordinates. Directly from the remote control-4, information about the target is transmitted via radio to the commander's tablet. The latter can send it to the gunners or contact direct support aviation and perform target designation.
In the course of performing other combat missions, the Strelets / Strelets-M complex to a certain extent simplifies the work of the fighters. With its help, the commander can set specific tasks for them, determine and forward the routes of movement, as well as receive tactical information from various sources in a timely manner. All this seriously simplifies the management of the unit and interaction on the battlefield, including with other units or structures.
