The words of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy about the "childhood diseases" of the Zircon rockets were commented on by the doctor of military sciences

The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, told RIA today News that the first ship of the Militaryfleet the country armed with hypersonic anti-ship missiles Zircon will become one of the frigates of new projects. We can talk about frigates of projects 11356 (code "Petrel", the head "Admiral Grigorovich") or 22350 (the head - "Admiral Gorshkov").

Eumenov for RIA News:

Zircon will be placed on one of the warships of the fleet, frigates. Modernization will take place, and we will test it in order to remove various “childhood diseases”. Now his tests are successful. While we put on all the ships "Caliber" and in parallel we will test the "Zircon", - said Evmenov.

According to Admiral Evmenov, the Zircons will begin to be supplied to the Russian Navy in the coming years.

Military Review asked the doctor of military sciences, professor Vladimir Dudko, to comment on the statement about "children's diseases" of Zircon anti-ship missiles. Rear Admiral Dudko is a member of the expert council of the Russian Officers organization, and is a full member of the Academy of Military Sciences.

According to Professor Dudko, the Zircon is today an unsurpassed missile, which we have created and which no potential adversaries have yet. As the doctor of military sciences notes, at the test stage, those flaws are identified that can be eliminated before being put into service.

Rear Admiral Vladimir Dudko:

This missile is capable of destroying even aircraft carrier formations on the approaches to our shores. She basically can not be shot down. In practice, it has no opposition. Missile defense weaponscapable of intercepting it, while none of the potential opponents simply do not. Regarding the so-called "childhood diseases" ... One of them is the adjustment of the start conditions. The ship is experiencing enormous loads at the launch of such a rocket. And this must be taken into account by the developers of the rocket in relation to the arming of frigates. The second is work on accelerators that bring Zircon to hypersonic speed. These nuances require practical refinement, which is what they are doing now amid testing.

The ship is experiencing enormous loads at the launch of such a rocket. And this must be taken into account by the developers of the rocket in relation to the arming of frigates.

And that a "cold" (mortar) start is not suitable? With it, it doesn't matter what speed the "product" will pick up later. Just a sparing regime for launching and ship structures.

[Operator]

Judging by the pearl, "huge loads at the start [from the universal silo]" Dr. Dudko is far from rocketry

[Mavrikiy]

One of them is the adjustment of the launch conditions. The ship is experiencing enormous loads at the launch of such a rocket. And this must be taken into account by the developers of the rocket in relation to the arming of frigates.

If the ship is afraid of "huge loads at the launch of such a rocket", then the ship should be designed for the rocket, and not the rocket for the ship. And there is no "cold start" without shock overloads, and not every missile will withstand them. During a hot start, the rocket compression load grows rapidly, but constantly.

Rear Admiral, Doctor Doctor of Military Sciences, Doctor of Economics, Professor, Full Member of the Academy of Military Sciences, International Engineering Academy, etc.
In the Armed Forces from June 1966 to May 1996. He resigned from the post of Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Navy - On-duty Admiral CKP Navy.
He commanded the atomic submarine of the Pacific Fleet.
Since 1996, he worked in the CIS Ministry of Cooperation, director of the Intergosbank in the structure of the CIS and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the State Duma, the Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Energy and other financial and government structures of Russia.

Che stuck to a man, he has been a quarter of a century thinks, and tell him about a rocket ....

[Operator]

Keyword - universal Silos, in connection with which the mine (and the ship) is absolutely violet, which starts from it on the mortar - "Caliber" or "Zircon", tk. the acceleration of a cruise missile to 0,9 M or 9 M occurs already in the air under the action of a solid propellant booster.

[Mavrikiy]

You are deaf. Your USPU may be wonderful, but the rocket may not be designed for H. start and will have to be redone. He studied rocket technology, and the admiral worked with her, but he has been counting money for banks for 25 years, see my post above.

[arkadiyssk]

And with a cold start, missiles from universal installations will start - for example, American SM anti-aircraft missiles. They cut engines directly into MK41. For this purpose, exhaust gas channels are provided in the UVP, which simply eject a stream of gases upward while the ravet is accelerated and goes outside. In any case, the launch there is no semblance of firing a rocket - like a cannon, when the recoil goes to the hull.

[bayard]

The launcher in the UKKS is not designed for a mortar start, but for a hot one - on a running accelerator engine.
It is important !
UKSK already exist. "Zircon is placed in them and can start from them.
But. The Zircon's launch booster has MUCH more thrust, and therefore the pressure and temperature are much higher. And UKSK must withstand.
Therefore, now, apparently, they are conjuring over a decrease in the thrust at the exit of the missile from the launcher, so that they do not have to make a special launcher for the Zircon, but to do with the standard one already on the ships.
The main thing is that the rocket flies, hits, now it remains to provide a "soft start".
The UKKSK is not designed for a mortar launch.

[Operator]

It is quite possible that this is so - is solved by a dual-mode starting accelerator.

And for the rocket too. "Calibers" for a mortar start are not exactly calculated, but the UKSK was made specifically for them. And Onyx.

[Aqr009]

Zircon with a TT accelerator is a rather long and heavy rocket and, even with a mortar launch, undesirable vibrations can occur during launch from a launcher located on the ground. Therefore, the rocket needs to be smoothly pushed out, as a result of which the pushing height decreases. Further, the impact of a jet of flame from the start of a powerful TT accelerator can affect the launcher itself and other elements of the ship.
Now imagine all this together while the ship is rolling, well, etc ...

Zircon with TT accelerator - a rather long and heavy rocket

Where can I get acquainted with the performance characteristics of "Zircon"?

a jet of flame from the start of a powerful TT accelerator can affect the launcher itself and other elements of the ship

It cannot - the solid-propellant booster turns on after the rocket turns in the air to a horizontal position (see the video of the "Caliber" launches).

[Aqr009]

It cannot - the solid-propellant booster turns on after the rocket turns in the air to a horizontal position (see the video of the "Caliber" launches).

Caliber and Zircon rockets of different classes. In Caliber, a turbojet engine and the sooner it goes into horizontal flight, the better.
Zircon needs to be thrown higher, where the atmosphere is thinner, and the fastest and most economical way to do this is vertical flight.

[Operator]

And what prevents the rocket from being turned after launch not by 90 degrees, but by 10-20 degrees so that the solid-fuel accelerator torch is not directed to the deck of the ship?

The same "Caliber" first rises with the help of a solid-propellant booster almost vertically to a height of ~ 300 meters, and only then goes into horizontal flight with a speed gain of 0,9 M.

[Aqr009]

And what prevents you from tightening the rocket after launch not by 90 degrees, but by 10-20

Well, apparently this is one of the childhood diseases

You are confused with the launch of Onyx. This is how he starts.
The caliber leaves the PU vertically and lays down on a course with climb and acceleration in the horizontal plane.
The Zircon requires a two-stroke accelerator - with reduced thrust at the start and maximum thrust at an altitude and range safe from the ship.

[Spambox]

I am confused in this story with hyper sound at one point how they solved the problem of accumulation of radio-opaque plasma in front of the nose cone of a rocket at such speeds. If this problem is not solved, then you cannot use an active guidance head, which means that the rocket must continuously receive external target designation, which significantly reduces the conditions for its use and combat characteristics.

[Voyager]

And in the context of the Vanguard you are not confused by the same moment?

[Spambox]

It is embarrassing, but while the Vanguard is not in the dense layers of the atmosphere, a plasma does not form, and I doubt that there the ARGS head

[Voyager]

According to officially provided data, the Vanguard remains controllable when heated to 2000 degrees and under conditions of plasma formation. The GDP personally stated that the issue of controllability in a plasma environment was resolved.

[Passing]

Quote: Spambox

accumulations of radio-opaque plasma in front of the nose fairing of the rocket at such speeds

At such speeds, there is no such problem. S-300 missiles are proof of this.

[Spambox]

Missiles with 300 do not have an active homing head there. PARGSN, if I am not mistaken, after working off the accelerator, it flies constantly losing speed and in the terminal section when the guidance head turns on, plasma formation in front of the fairing is not observed, with C 350 ARGS

[Passing]

1) Explain to me what is the difference between PARGSN and ARGS in the context of the discussion? I don't watch her.
2) By your logic, it turns out that until the rocket slows down by braking the atmosphere, its GOS does not work? Those. Already at the declared 5 km minimum range, does the rocket speed drop from 2000 m / s to 1000 m / s? This is not serious. How then she will fly another 195 km.
PS: 1000m / s is the figure that Caliber has, the engine runs continuously, there is a radar seeker, i.e. for him, operability at such a speed is proved.

[Spambox]

At the declared minimum range of 5 km, the rocket does not gain such speed. I assume that the mode and time of the accelerator are set relative to the removal of the target. In the context of what is being discussed, a rocket flies in a radio command manner (by targeting from the ground) until it slows down, because at a hypersonic speed a cocoon is formed from a radio-opaque plasma.
The principle of operation of the PARGSN just assumes that the target is illuminated and the missile is guided from the ground in the main flight area until the missile approaches the target and can not capture the reflected signal from the backlight radar.

[Passing]

1) From your argument it follows that, in the context of the discussion, there is no difference between the PARSN and the ARGS. For at the initial stage, they both fly on the TS from the earth.
2) https://wartools.ru/pvo-rossiya-sssr/zrs-s-400-triumf/
for 48N6E / 48N6 engine run time 12 sec.
Those. you say that in 12 seconds, the rocket will fly less than 5 km?

[Passing]

Quote: Spambox

At the declared minimum range of 5 km, the rocket does not gain such speed.

Let it not pick up, it turns out when it picks up, say, at 10 km range, then, according to your logic, the GOS becomes inoperative, then the speed drops, and say at a distance of 50 km, it starts working again.
Now show me where it is written that the range of action in range does not look like 5-200 km, but 5-10 + 50-200 km.

[Spambox]

You get away from the topic, I don’t undertake to discuss the engine’s operating time and the range of the missiles, but I argue that the AGSN does not work at hypersonic speeds, since a plasma radiopaque cocoon is formed in front of the rocket.
The phenomenon of plasma formation at hypersonic speeds and communication breakage was discovered during the Mercury project, and then the Gemini and Apollo programs. It manifested itself at a drop altitude of about 90 kilometers and to a mark of 40 kilometers - as a result of rapid heating of the surface of a capsule falling in the atmosphere, a plasma cloud is formed on its surface, acting as a kind of electromagnetic screen.

Regarding the Zircon rocket, I just wondered how they solved this problem. You claimed

. At such speeds, there is no such problem. S-300 missiles are proof of this.

to which I replied that there is a hyper sound and in this section the rocket does not use GOS. Now you write me

.Who argues. At some speeds formed. and interferes

It turns out that there are still problems with radio permeability on hyper sound.
My question is to the pros in this field, or to rocketers, remains open.

Sorry, there was a misunderstanding, I thought you were in search of the truth, I wanted to help, brought facts and arguments, and you have religious beliefs, you already know everything for sure, and simply urged like-minded people by faith in their fasting.

[Spambox]

Faith has nothing to do with it. There is a specific physical phenomenon and problems associated with it. I just wondered how this problem was solved.

[Passing]

So I’m talking about this, you BELIEVE that such a problem exists for the Zircon rocket. All the arguments that such a problem does not exist for a 48N6 rocket with a similar velocity do not exist. For the dogmas of faith are a priori true, which means that everything that contradicts dogmas is 100% false.

[Spambox]

I do not know the exact characteristics of the Zircon rocket and you do not know. And I don’t know about her problems and childhood illnesses (topic of the article), I just assume that one of the problems that needed to be solved is connected with a specific physical phenomenon. Based on this, I wonder how this problem was solved.

Cold start - when a rocket is thrown to a height in one way or another and only then does the rocket engine start.

A hot start does no harm to anyone

From the ends, the container is hermetically sealed with membrane plugs of rubber-impregnated fiberglass. The plugs provide protection for the container from the shock wave that occurs during the launch of an adjacent rocket, but they are destroyed by the start of the jet engine inside the container when the internal pressure reaches 2.7 atm. The heat-resistant coating inside the container provides up to 8 launches.

The gas exhaust system, common to all eight module missiles, consists of a pressure chamber and a channel, which are coated with heat-resistant material, designed for the increased pressure and temperature created by the jet stream. The unit is equipped with forced ventilation to remove toxic components of rocket fuel. After launching the rocket, the ventilation system must work for at least 20 minutes before service personnel gain access to the launcher and at least 1 minute for each subsequent hour, while the personnel remain in the installation.

Your roofs have completely gone on the outskirts - the illustration shows only the most effective high-altitude echelons of motor flight of aircraft at different Mach numbers.

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the RF Armed Forces has publicly designated the speed and range of the Zircon GZKR - 9M and 900 km, which corresponds to a flight time to the target of 6 minutes and a marching echelon of 40 km. After that, the rocket (most likely, a detachable warhead) dives on the target, practically not reducing its speed due to the accumulated potential energy.

Heat from heating the edges of the airframe during engine operation is removed by heating liquid fuel; during the dive, it is provided with heat resistance of carbon-carbon structural materials (~ 3000 degrees Celsius) coated with intermetallic compounds that transform into ceramic during oxidation in air. The warhead is coated with sublimating material (phenol-formaldehyde resin with asbestos fibers) by analogy with ICBM warheads, the speed of which in dense layers of the atmosphere is from 25 (at the entrance) to 10 M (in a collision with the earth's surface).

For 6 minutes of flight, the inertial homing system of the missile defense system accumulates an error of 36 meters, which is quite enough to hit a protected head of the ICBM launcher shaft with a nuclear explosion with a capacity of 250 Ktn (charge weight 130 kg). About the effectiveness of the defeat of command centers in Washington, Warsaw, Kiev, etc. not to mention at all.

Plus, in the USSR at the end of the 1980s, a technical solution was being worked out for organizing a radio-transparent window in a plasma cocoon surrounding the warhead in the atmosphere at a speed of more than 5 M, for the purpose of radar guidance to a target in a terminal section with a KVO of 10 meters, which is also quite suitable for a detachable Warhead Zircon.

Therefore, by and large - accept my condolences

Not suitable. The mass-dimensional parameters of the rocket are increasing. In addition to the starting accelerator, you will also need a PAD (powder pressure accumulator). The design will become more complicated. Given the existing dimensions of launchers, this means that the missile itself will be smaller, and, accordingly, the range will be less ...

And the statements of this expert do not particularly inspire confidence that he really knows something in reality. In his answers, sometimes more lulling than real analysis

For example

This missile is capable of destroying even aircraft carrier formations on the approaches to our shores.

Any missile can destroy an aircraft carrier if it has a nuclear warhead. And so ...

She basically can not be shot down. In practice, it has no opposition. So far, none of the potential opponents simply have anti-ballistic weapons capable of intercepting them.

Sorry, Comrade Admiral, but you are carrying a blizzard. There is no rocket or plane that could not be shot down. It all depends on the outfit of forces. How many anti-aircraft missiles (anti-missiles) will be used by the enemy. A hypersonic missile will fly at altitudes of the order of 40-50 km. approximately at these altitudes, the kinetic interceptor of American missile defense is already beginning to work.
Parameters Standart SM-3 Block 1A / 1B - range of 700 km, reach in height - 500 km, speed 2,7 km / s or approximately 8,2 M
The parameters of the Standart SM-3 Block 2A are a range of 2500 km, reach in height - 1500 km, speed 4,5-5 km / s or approximately 13,6-15,2 M
Even if we assume that instead of the kinetic interceptor the Americans will deliver a fragmentation, heavier warhead and the parameters drop somewhat - they will still be sufficient. So to say that a potential adversary has nothing is frivolous to say the least.

Regarding the so-called "childhood diseases" ... One of them is the adjustment of the start conditions. The ship is experiencing enormous loads at the launch of such a rocket. And this must be taken into account by the developers of the rocket in relation to the arming of frigates. The second is work on accelerators that bring Zircon to hypersonic speed. These nuances require practical refinement, which is what they are doing now amid testing.

Frankly speaking, it is not clear what the huge loads mean at the start of such a rocket? Okay, one can understand that the thrust of the accelerator will be more than that of the "Caliber", but after all, not tens or hundreds of times ...

A hypersonic missile will fly at altitudes of the order of 40-50 km. approximately at these altitudes, the kinetic interceptor of American missile defense is already beginning to work.

The worst thing is that at this altitude an ionization trace will form, which can be tracked both by ground-based stations of horizontal horizon radar (or by stations of vertical or reciprocal-inclined sounding), and possibly systems that will be placed on an orbital constellation. And it turns out that at the very least, but the flight path will be calculated, which means that it is possible to destroy the warhead in some area by undermining the charge with a large number of damaging elements. How it will all be real is difficult to predict, but the unmasking sign of flying at such an altitude is obvious, which means it is possible to create anti-missiles.

Parameters Standart SM-3 Block 1A / 1B - range of 700 km, reach in height - 500 km, speed 2,7 km / s or approximately 8,2 M
The parameters of the Standart SM-3 Block 2A are a range of 2500 km, reach in height - 1500 km, speed 4,5-5 km / s or approximately 13,6-15,2 M

Rather, to counter Zircon in the final section of his marching trajectory, they will try to use anti-aircraft modifications of the Standards with OF warheads — something like advanced versions of SM-6. The very high altitude, range and energy of the SM-3, its kinetic warhead are unlikely to be needed.
If a conventional warhead may not destroy a ballistic missile warhead, even if single fragments hit the aerodynamically complex Zircon, its destruction at hypersonic speeds will be very likely.
It is strange, of course, that the expert calls the start of Zircon a problem. I thought the main problem from the history of the development and testing of aircraft samples with a hypersonic ramjet engine (SCJP) in the last 10 years is the marching mode, the scramjet proper operation in horizontal flight, and especially when maneuvering, even the simplest one.

Perhaps the Zircon flight will be something like this:
Vertical start, cold / hot - to taste, using a solid fuel accelerator.
It seems that the dimensions of the Zircon assembly with the accelerator should be approximately equal to the size of Onyx, for use from the same cells UVP 3C14, and it is unlikely that Zircon is heavier than it. Still, Zircon should have a rather big “lip” for the air intake, which protrudes over the contours of the fuselage, like all devices with a scramjet. The Zircon solid-propellant accelerator is likely to be significantly larger than Onyx.
The accelerator accelerates Zircon into the stratosphere along a smoothly inclined path to a speed of about 5M and a height - well, say, 15-20 km.
Then the accelerator and the fairing of the “lips” of the scramjet air intake are reset. The scramjet starts up and accelerates the Zircon to the declared 8M (2,4 km / s), with simultaneous climb up to 30-40 km. The change in speed of the scramjet, as far as is known, is necessarily associated with a change in height, and vice versa.
Marching section of the flight - what will it be - 300 ... 500 ... 700 km? - Zircon conducts in horizontal flight (unlike the Dagger, for example) at a constant speed, in a plasma frame. GOS does not work, it is not needed - in 2-5 minutes of flight in this section the target will not run far.
At the end of the marching section, kilometers 50-100 kilometers from the target, the engine stops working. When reduced, he would have to automatically “damp” the speed of the rocket.
Zircon decreases, its speed and so decreases with increasing air density, and at, say, 10-15 km altitude becomes supersonic.
The GOS is turned on and searches and identifies targets. Zircon plans / dives into the ship. Its speed at the time of impact will probably be 2-4M.

Perhaps this terminal section will be the most vulnerable when the speed and height of the Zircon will allow it to use medium-range (and maybe short) missiles.

[Operator]

The Standart SM-3 antimissile is equipped exclusively with transatmospheric homing interceptors, while the Zircon flies exclusively in the atmosphere; while the Standart SM-3 develops hypersonic speed and moves in the atmosphere in a plasma cocoon - i.e. blindly.

To intercept atmospheric targets, the Standart SM-3 must be equipped with fragmentation warheads and switched to radio command guidance - by injecting freon into the end of the anti-missile (to form a radio-transparent window in the plasma), installing an anti-missile radio receiver (with antennas on each of the three stages) and reconfiguring ship radar for operation in the radio command guidance mode.

Those. a certain Standart SM-4 looms in explicit form, which so far is not even in the plans of the Pentagon.

But that will be empty trouble - when attacking a ship according to the "first-second" scheme, the explosion of the electromagnetic warhead of the leading Zircon (before entering the ship's air defense zone) will disable the ship's radar, and the slave Zircon will destroy the ship.

PS Homing "Zircon" in the terminal section in a dive can be carried out both with the help of a radar seeker (when the speed drops to supersonic), and with the help of a gravimetric seeker in the center of mass of the ship (at hypersonic speed).

With a special warhead, an anti-nuclear warrant is doing just fine.

Why does Shoigu lose sight of the terrible and indestructible threat to our armed forces? The USA has the aerospace TR-3B (and its modifications and drones, there are already a lot of them) invisible to all radars, has super technologies: controls the force of gravity (moving vertically (and without atmosphere)), controls the force of inertia (the pilot does not feel acceleration) , Controls the flow around (no aerodynamic drag). Acceleration at start from 5 km per second in square meters, in the atmosphere, after 5 seconds the speed is about 15 km per second. The speed in dense layers of the atmosphere is up to 10 km per second. The speed in space is more than 100 km per second. It can carry several thermonuclear charges at such speeds. Fly with impunity over all countries since about 2003, radars do not see them !!!!!

The launch of the Zircon rocket is carried out on new physical principles.
Overloads at the moment of exit from the launcher constitute dohreniliard of quantions.
Further along the branch of the anisotropic parabola, Zircon rushes to the moon.
Having made three full orbits in the satellite’s orbit, the rocket accumulates kinetic energy sufficient for a quantum leap.
Having seized the target with a dead grip, Zircon rushes to the Earth.
At the speed of light, Zircon strikes a selected object.

Quote: Andriy Shevchyk

Zircon is not a hypersonic weapon; scramjet engines can reach a hypersonic speed of 5 max only at altitudes above ~ 18 m (almost 000 feet). For this Zircon there is a detachable accelerating step for output to such a height. At low altitudes, the speeds of Zircon and any other rocket fall to 60-000 mach.

And who said that the Zircon's marching altitude would be below 18 km? There was a figure that the flight altitude would be about 30-40 km. And it is there that he will accelerate to hypersonic speeds.

Quote: Andriy Shevchyk

The warhead ICBM flies inertially and has a KVO of 100-500 meters. This is not an exact hit. Hypersonic maneuvering devices have 10 km deviations, for example, the TMA UNION, which flies in the plasma and maneuvers with rudders until the parachute is withdrawn, has 10-30 km deviations in half an hour.

Has Soyuz already become a hypersonic maneuvering vehicle and has rudders for maneuvering? Can you tell me where they are hiding on the descent vehicle and how does it maneuver? Do you have engines, planes? It seems, my friend, you have reported

Namesake! Well, a hypersonic cruise missile does not yet exist. And so. In principle, there is not much difference in the interception of a ballistic or cruise missile. This is not a manned vehicle. who can make maneuvers upon discovering that he is being irradiated and fired a rocket. Both a warhead and a cruise missile are not a maneuvering target with respect to an anti-aircraft missile (anti-missile).

Quote: Aqr009

Perhaps in the tens (maybe a hundred). If the Caliber just needs to be pushed out, and then he himself somehow, then Zircon needs to be pushed thoroughly. This is more like launching a space rocket from the Sea Launch, and there you know the launch pad, which, wow, don’t cry!

Why: the task of the launcher at the initial stage is to push the rocket out of the launcher. It is unlikely that the mass of "Zircon" will be much greater than the mass of "Caliber" or "Onyx". If, for example, the mass of these missiles is 2,5 tons, then a starting thrust of 1,5 times the mass of the rocket is sufficient to throw it out of the launcher. And then there will be no further load on the ship and the thrust can increase tens or hundreds of times.

The same UR-100N UTTH has a gas-dynamic start. But solid-propellant missiles are launched from TPK using a mortar launch.
Externally "Zircon" is unlikely to be similar to "Onyx", the aerodynamics of the supersonic and hypersonic missiles are different. Rather, the aerodynamics of the Zircon will resemble the American X-51, which is usually set to illustrate the Zircon.

By the way, here the moment of starting the marching engine is not visible on these plots.
The flight plan of the Kalibr missiles is as follows
Flight diagram of anti-ship missile 3M54.
1. After launch, the rocket rises to a height of 150 meters. Speed ​​- 0,6M (734 km / h).
2. At this altitude and this speed, the launch accelerator is separated and the main engine is turned on, which accelerates the rocket to a speed of 0,8 M (980 km / h).
3. After that, the rocket is reduced to a height of 10-15 meters.
4. At a distance of about 40 km from the finish line, the rocket rises to a height of 400 meters and ARGS-54 is activated. Search azimuth is ± 45 °. Search angle +10 ° / -20 °. The homing head ARGS-54 is capable of detecting a cruiser type ship at a range of 65 km. AGDS is disconnected. RCC is using a passive radar, which responds to the operation of radars and jamming stations.
5. If the target is lost AGDS is activated again. Approximately at a distance of 20 km there is a separation of the combat stage, which reaches a speed of up to 2,9M. Ultrasonic flight altitude from 3 to 5 meters

[bars1]

But is it not the other way around: first, the passive RLGSN is turned on - for rough aiming, and then the ARGSN - for accurate guidance?
For example, in promising PRR, American in addition to the passive channel, ARGSN is used for accurate aiming at the target. In a prospective modification of the Russian X-58, add. thermal imaging channel. In the American anti-ship missile system LRASM, the passive RGSN is used for coarse pickup, then the IR GOS comes into play. In general, the passive RGSN does not have the required accuracy.

[Avior]

Sorry, but turning on after being pushed out of the cell with a short flash of flame and smoke is clearly visible on the video at a height of several meters, after which the rocket actively picks up speed, maybe This is not a marching engine, but an accelerator that displays the rocket, as it shows a characteristic smoke gathering, which the main engine doesn’t have, or another reason for the smoke trail, but it is not visible in the view after moving to horizontal flight for something to fly off.

There is a video where missiles are tracked on the active flight site

In any case, even visually the difference between the start and Tomahawk is very different at the time of leaving the cell, here the starting accelerator starts, it launches a rocket from the cell and it lifts by 400 m.
In Caliber, the inclusion of this accelerator at a height of several meters

The method for launching a rocket from the launcher without any load on the ship is as follows: - the carrier ship accelerates to 1.800 naval nodes, and then brakes sharply ... The Zircon rocket leaves the guide tube by inertia and flies at an initial speed of 3.000 km / h.

Do you really prefer the conclusion of Zircon using a catapult, to reduce the load on the ship?
But then the displacement of the ship increases, in order to increase the deck, so that the gum of the catapult could be pulled back. Yes, and then the crew is needed more to stretch the catapult, etc.

Ascent to this height occurs from a distance of 40 km. An active radar hijacker captures the target even if it is somewhat aloof. But when the rocket is already on a combat course, then the auxiliary channel - the passive radar homing system - is it.

So there is no development. We need fundamentally new methods and methods for more efficient movement in space. And they cannot appear suddenly and immediately. Therefore, here the key element of breakthrough ideas in this area is precisely the understanding of the existence of long-term prospects for the development of those ideas that are being laid down now.

But. The Zircon's launch booster has MUCH more thrust, and therefore the pressure and temperature are much higher. And UKSK must withstand.
Therefore, now, apparently, they are conjuring over a decrease in the thrust at the exit of the missile from the launcher, so that they do not have to make a special launcher for the Zircon, but to do with the standard one already on the ships.

Well, technically, this is solved quite simply. A dual-mode starting accelerator is required. The first mode is about one and a half thrust from the mass to withdraw the product from the launcher, and after a few seconds, when the rocket is already outside the launcher, the second mode starts - and there is at least a hundredfold thrust from the mass of the product

Rather, to counter Zircon in the final section of his marching trajectory, they will try to use anti-aircraft modifications of the Standards with OF warheads — something like advanced versions of SM-6. The very high altitude, range and energy of the SM-3, its kinetic warhead are unlikely to be needed.

An anti-aircraft variant in the form of the SM-6 is unlikely to work. She has a lesion height of 33 km. If the Cyclone has a cruising altitude of 40 km, it will be out of reach.
Kinetic BG on SM-3 ... There have not yet been cases of interception of aerodynamic targets, although the performance characteristics of American missile defense systems indicate that the minimum height of the kinetic interceptor is about 40-50 km. But it’s still better to have on the same SM-3 not a kinetic interceptor, but a fragmentation warhead. There will be no particular problems with this modernization. It may drop a little speed, range and reach, but for the SM-3 (at least BLOCK 1A / 1B, at least BLOCK 2A) this is not critical
