The squadron of diving surface ships may not look as impressive as the squadron of classic surface ships, but this will make it no less dangerous

On the border of two environments


Based on the premises set forth in the article “On the border of two environments. Diving ships: history and prospects ", consider a variant of a diving surface ship (NSC), the hull of which is under water, in the near-surface layer, and above the water there is only a superstructure mast with radar stations, with active phased antenna arrays (AFAR), optical reconnaissance aids and communication antennas . In other words, the waterline of such a ship should go just above the base of the mast superstructure.



Diving surface ship can be implemented on the basis of one of the projects of nuclear submarines

Design



The design of NNCs to a greater extent should be based on the design of submarines (PL) than surface ships (NK), but taking into account the influence of surface factors: wave resistance, near-surface rolling, etc. Given the Russian specifics, the optimal basis for a ship of this type is likely to be one of the projects existing or promising nuclear submarines, for example, the project of the Strategic Missile Submarine Cruiser (RPKSN) 955A, with contours optimized for movement in the near-surface layer. Perhaps the NOC should be supplemented by installed high-speed low-inertia thrusters and control surfaces, as well as ballast tank pumps of increased power.


Diving surface ship based on Project 955A RPKSN

Previously, the SSBN project 955A has already been considered by the author and as the basis for nuclear submarine with cruise missiles (SSGN) conditional project 955K, and implementation of SSBNs based on project 955A is considered by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and as a basis for nuclear multifunctional submarine cruiserintended for raider operations against surface forces and aviation the enemy. The reason for such attention to project 955A is that it is quite modern, well-developed and is being built in a large series, which will simplify the development and reduce the cost of solutions based on it.

As the name implies, the NOC should be able to dive to a shallow depth of not more than 20-50 meters, which will reduce the requirements for the hull structures of the original submarine design.

Intelligence tools

The mast must be located at the top of the superstructure. unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), most likely quadrocopter (octopopter, hexacopter) type with reconnaissance equipment on board, which is powered by flexible cable from the side of the NOC. Depending on the permissible UAV dimensions, both optical, thermal imaging, and radar reconnaissance equipment can be placed on it. The possibility of automatic tracking of UAVs of UAVs flying at an altitude of 50-100 meters, and, if possible, more, will make it possible to detect surface and low-flying targets at a much greater distance than is possible with the help of the mast of the NSC.


The concept of the British warship Dreadnought-2050 with a UAV, powered by a flexible cable

If the radar stationed on the mast at an altitude of 5-15 meters can see an anti-ship missile (RCC) flying at an altitude of 20 meters, at a range of about 25-30 kilometers, then the radar stationed on a UAV at an altitude of 50-100 meters can see the same RCC at a range of 40-55 kilometers.


Dependence of the range of visibility of a target located (flying) at a height of 20 meters, on the height of the deployment of reconnaissance equipment

The NOC submarines will inherit a powerful sonar station (GAS).

The NOC will not be able to place the classic manned anti-submarine defense helicopters (PLO). Their functions can be divided between UAVs, crewless boats (BEC) and uninhabited underwater vehicles (NPA), accompanying NOCs and recharging batteries from it (refueling). For the release and reception of UAVs or crewless boats, the NOC must perform a short ascent with the hull rising above the waterline.

Anti-submarine UAVs can be implemented on the basis of a helicopter or quadrocopter (octopopter, hexacopter) UAV.


UAV helicopter type company "Radar mms"

Speaking about UAVs for a diving surface ship, one cannot but recall the UAV projects starting from under water. One of the most interesting projects is the Cormorant UAV, designed to launch nuclear submarines and ballistic missile launchers (SSBN) from mines from a depth of 46 meters. For NOCs, such difficulties are not required, the start may well be carried out from the surface. Such a UAV can be used to perform reconnaissance missions at a relative distance from the ship.


Underwater reconnaissance UAV Cormorant

Crewless surface and underwater vehicles can be used both to perform the functions of anti-aircraft defense, and to solve missile defense tasks.

weaponry

Since the main task of the NOC is air defense (air defense), like the British destroyer type 45, its main weapons should become a powerful anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). Presumably this may be a modernized air defense system, implemented on the basis of the Poliment-Redut air defense system. It is possible that a naval air defense system based on the promising land complex S-500 would become a more promising option, but, given the fact that its composition and capabilities are not yet known, it would be more logical to dwell on more worked-out solutions. The basis for the ammunition should be anti-aircraft guided missiles (SAM) of medium range 9M96E, 9M96E2 with an active homing radar (ARLGSN) and short-range missiles 9M100 with an infrared homing head (IKGSN), capable of hitting targets without continuous target designation or highlighting targets.


Antennas SAM Polyment-Redoubt on frigates of project 22350

To destroy air targets at long range, the air defense system’s ammunition should be supplemented with long / super long-range missiles. There may be few of them, but their very presence will force the enemy to plan their actions taking into account this fact, to keep away high-altitude UAVs and early warning radars (DRLs).


Super long-range missiles 40N6E

If technically possible, placement on the NOC would be a good help. laser weapons (LO) with a power of 100-500 kWcapable of defeating small-sized targets: UAVs, light boats and boats, destroying sensitive elements of the optics of anti-ship missiles and enemy aircraft, and in the long term ensuring their physical destruction. Despite the fact that many are skeptical of laser weapons, they will not become less effective from this. The leading powers of the world (USA, UK, Germany, Israel, China) are investing huge amounts in the development of laser weapons. For example, Germans plan to put LO on corvettes, the British on type 45 destroyers, the United States even plan to put laser weapons on almost all types of ships (promising frigates, destroyers, landing ships, and even on multipurpose nuclear submarines) And do not think that it will occupy half the ship. A laser module with a 100 kW cooling system can be comparable in size with one or two refrigerators.


Dragonfire's UK Laser Weapons Program (LDEW) is designed to provide short-range air defense

From the initial submarine project, 533 mm torpedo tubes will remain. The NOC will lack artillery weapons, as well as short-range air defense systems / anti-aircraft missile systems (anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems).

Placement

The question arises: where to place all of the above and how can you save space? The answer is simple: the NNP should become exactly the air defense ship of the combat area, that is, its strike functions will be minimized. The same goes for anti-submarine functions.

If we say that the project 955A SSBN is taken as the basis, then it has space to accommodate 16 missile silos (with a diameter of about 2,2 meters), 6 (8?) Torpedo tubes of 533 mm caliber with an ammunition load of about 40 torpedoes, and also six disposable non-rechargeable 533 mm launchers for launching sonar countermeasures, which are located in the superstructure.

Based on this, the NOC ammunition can be:
- 10 standard torpedoes of caliber 533 mm of the current model;
- 40 anti-torpedoes having dimensions half the standard torpedo 533 mm;
- 10 uninhabited underwater vehicles made in the dimensions of a standard torpedo of caliber 533 mm;
- 2 (4) anti-submarine UAVs with a release-receiving-refueling device occupying the space of two conventional missile silos;
- 2 crewless boats in containers on the hull, by analogy with external docking cameras implemented at the Ohio SSBN;


SSBN "Ohio" with external docking cameras

- 12 super-long-range missiles 40N6E in four conventional missile silos, taking into account the diameter of one missile in a transport and launch container (TPK) 1 meter;
- 192 medium-range missiles 9M96E2 in four conventional missile silos, taking into account the diameter of one 240 mm missiles;
- 264 9M100 short-range missiles in four conventional missile silos, taking into account the diameter of one 200 mm missiles (according to some sources, 125 mm, that is, the number of short-range missiles can be increased to 584 units);
- 24 missiles (anti-ship, cruise missiles, missile and torpedoes) of the Caliber complex, with a complete set, depending on the task of the NOC, in two conventional missile silos, taking into account the diameter of the missile in the TPK 533 mm.


An approximate calculation of the number of missiles that can be placed in compartments under the RPKSN mine project 955A. For 9M96E2 and 9M100 missiles taken an additional margin of 40 mm in size, taking into account the need for TPK

Of course, the actual ammunition will be 20-30-50 percent less due to the need for cabling, installation of power structures and so on. Nevertheless, a general idea of ​​the potential NOC ammunition based on the project 955A SSBN can be obtained, and even if the ammunition is halved, the NOC will be equivalent to several air defense divisions.

In addition, it must be borne in mind that the dimensions of the missile silos on the SSBNs are much larger in height than the missiles and missiles that are placed in them, that is, there will be a reserve of volumes to accommodate the necessary additional equipment.

The advantages of NOCs over surface ships of a classic design


First of all, the appearance of NOCs will significantly depreciate the reserves of RCC available to potential opponents, including the latest AGM-158C LRASM. Protection of the NOC from a massive impact of RCC can look something like this:

After the discovery of a group of NOCs by the enemy, the latter carries out a strike with a large number of RCC. Active radars will detect flying, anti-ship missiles from a distance of at least 20 kilometers. After that, the NOC carries out an urgent dive, having previously released the protective curtains. In principle, the creation of false targets can also be considered, which are inflatable quick-deploy simulators of the surface of the NN mast, ejected from torpedo tubes or air-launched vehicles and inflated with compressed air.


Setting protective curtains by surface ships

Even the RCC’s retargeting capabilities will not allow them to “circle forever,” waiting for the NOCs to reappear on the surface. In order to provide anti-ship missiles with the ability to barrage in the air, to search for targets and retargeting, they must not be launched at maximum range, but closer to the target, which puts carriers at risk. And still, not being able to track NOCs under water, RCCs will quickly move away from them, run out of fuel, or hit false targets.

Can RCC defeat a target underwater? In its present form, no. Equipping the RCC with a depth-bomb type warhead will also do little, since the NOC is a moving target, capable of changing course and speed, and it cannot predict the movement of the NOC under water. The weight of the warhead (warhead) of most modern anti-ship missiles does not exceed 500 kg. Any complication of warheads, giving it the function of destroying underwater targets, will weaken it even more.

There remains the option of equipping the RCC with a small-sized torpedo, that is, in essence, turning it into a missile torpedo (RT). But in this case, we will expect a comprehensive drop in the characteristics of the Republic of Tatarstan in comparison with the RCC. For example, the firing range of the RPK-6 Vodopad missile and torpedo complex is only 50 (according to some sources, 90) kilometers, plus the UMGT-1 torpedo range is another 8 kilometers.


Rocket-torpedo complex RPK-6 "Waterfall" with a torpedo caliber 400 mm UMGT-1

The American RUM-139 VLA missile torpedo has an even shorter range of 28 kilometers, and the Mark 46 or Mark 54 torpedoes installed on it have a range of 7,3 or 2,4 kilometers, respectively.


RUM-139-VL-ASROC anti-submarine missile torpedo and Mark 54 torpedo

Thus, RTs will have a smaller range, speed, maneuverability, warhead mass and at the same time greater visibility and cost compared to RCC. If the enemy wants to increase the firing range of the Republic of Tatarstan, their dimensions and mass will increase significantly, which will not allow placing them on those aircraft carriers that can carry anti-ship missiles. And those aircraft carriers that can carry RT with an increased range, will take them less than they could take RCC.

It is possible to practically exclude the possibility of a “firefight” of a KGU from surface ships of a classic design and a KGU consisting of diving surface ships, since the latter will have time to reach the launch line of the RCC, shoot and change course long before the enemy’s KGU can approach the RT launch range.

In terms of the probability of hitting the target, the missile + torpedo bunch will most likely also be inferior to the probability of hitting the target of anti-ship missiles, although here we partially compare the incomparable, but, in the end, we are interested in the final result - hitting the target, be it NK or NNK.

As a result, short-range RTs will force aircraft carriers to enter the NOC air defense coverage area, there will be fewer launched RTs than RCC could be, and RTs themselves will be easier to hit with NOC SAMs. And the probability of NW damage by small-sized torpedoes, which nevertheless managed to reach the drop zone, will not be so high because of their obviously worse characteristics compared to full-size torpedoes, as well as due to counteraction of the NW with the help of false targets and anti-torpedoes.

In other words, it is good to shoot missile torpedoes at submarines, but not at diving surface ships capable of actively counteracting them. The enemy will have to organize complex strike of anti-ship missiles, RT, with false targets like ADM-160A MALD, knowingly aware that the RCC is likely to be spent in vain, if such a blow at all will have a chance of success.

In the event that when an NNV dives above the surface, the UAV will remain on the power and control cable, the situation for the enemy will become even more complicated, since the NWN will be able to destroy air targets even after immersion, albeit with less efficiency.

Thus, diving surface ships will have the following advantages:
- the ability to provide continuous monitoring of airspace and the destruction of air targets, as with a classic design NK;
- significant missile ammunition, which allows to isolate the combat area and level the strike potential of the enemy carrier strike groups (AUG);
- increased secrecy, since only the superstructure-mast with reconnaissance and communications equipment will remain on the surface;
- the possibility of further increasing stealth due to the transition to a completely underwater position, and misleading the enemy with false inflatable mast superstructures;
- the possibility of avoiding RCC, due to the immersion of the NOC under water;
- a highly efficient HAS, inherited by the NOC “from inheritance” from the submarine, capable of detecting the submarine and NK of the enemy.

The high protection of NNP from anti-ship missiles can lead to the fact that the most modern low-noise enemy submarines will become the only serious threat to such a ship.

Of course, diving surface ships should not act alone, but as part of a naval strike group (KUG). However, its composition should differ significantly from the KUG based on ships of classical design.

Naval iceberg strike group


The presence of classic-class surface ships as part of the KGG eliminates all the advantages of the NOC, since in the event of an anti-ship missile attack, the NOC will hide under water, and the classic-designed surface ships will take the entire anti-ship missile attack. This leads to the following conclusions:
1. Kug based on the NOC, in addition to the NOC itself, may include only submarines.
2. Kug on the basis of the NOC cannot include surface ships requiring protection - airborne assault forces, aircraft carriers, etc.

In other words, the NSC-based KMG is intended for attack, not defense. Is this a disadvantage? More likely no than yes. As mentioned earlier, in the foreseeable future, Russia is unable to build a fleet capable of "resisting" symmetrically the fleet USA and their allies. Those. we are unlikely to be able to ensure the safety of, for example, landing ships: no matter how many frigates of project 22350 we build, they will be “filled up” with anti-ship missiles and a bomber and / or aircraft from aircraft carriers. We can ensure their safety only if the adversary understands that in the event of a conflict, his losses in warships and auxiliary ships will be incomparably higher, which is why KGB based on the NOC is needed.

The proposed spatially distributed strike surface-submarine KGG type "iceberg" should include the following types of ships and submarines:
- 2 NOCs based on the SSBN project 955A;
- 2 submarines of conditional project 955K;
- 4 multi-purpose submarines.
Additionally, the KUG “iceberg” is attached to 2-4 UAVs with a long flight duration.


Variant of construction of KUG of the iceberg type

The distance between the NOCs, SSBNs and the multi-purpose KGM iceberg submarines of the "iceberg" type will be determined by the possibility of organizing communication and, accordingly, the interaction between the NOCs and the PL. An increase in the communication range can be organized at the expense of NPA-acoustic communication repeaters, in an organizational way - submarine submarine for radio communication with the NOC at certain points in time or in other ways. Currently, methods for long-distance communication between submarines are being developed, one of which, for example, is described in the patent RU2666904C1 "Method for two-way distant resonant EHF / microwave radio communication with an underwater object".

Also, the maximum distance between diving surface ships and submarines as part of the ICG of the “iceberg” type is determined by the ability of NOCs to protect “their” submarines from enemy anti-submarine aircraft and the ability of “their” multipurpose submarines to protect NSCs and SSBNs from enemy submarines. It can be assumed that the distance between ships and submarines of the KUG type “iceberg” will vary in the range from five to forty kilometers


On the surface of the KUG, the iceberg type will look something like this

Functions within the IBM are distributed as follows:
NOCs provide air defense of the area, not allowing the operation of anti-submarine aircraft of the enemy, destroy all types of aircraft and helicopters of the enemy. Upon reaching the frontier of attack, the enemy’s AUGs are destroyed by AWACS aircraft, capable of over-the-horizon guidance of the enemy’s missile launchers to attacking anti-ship missiles.
SSBNs are intended for delivering massive strikes, depending on the task, with cruise missiles at ground targets or anti-ship missiles at enemy ships.
Multipurpose nuclear submarines provide protection for NOCs and SSBNs from enemy multipurpose nuclear submarines.

ICG type iceberg reconnaissance data should be received from reconnaissance satellites, UAVs of long flight duration, as well as using unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned boats and unmanned underwater vehicles deployed from onboard NSCs.


So KUG type "iceberg" will look in the mode of increased stealth or avoidance of impact RCC

Conclusions


Is there a future for diving surface ships? The question is complex. There is no doubt that the design and construction of NOCs will not be easy, like any other new technology. Accordingly, the list of countries that can implement such a project is very limited.

The US already dominates the oceans, and only a threat from the rapidly growing fleet of China can prevent them from experimenting. But the fleet parity of the PRC and the United States is unlikely to be reached before 2050. US allies in NATO solve local problems as part of the US Navy, they are ships that can withstand a powerful enemy, to anything.

China might be interested in upsetting the balance, but it seems that for the time being, the PRC engineers can only combine and modify the successes of the design schools of other countries: most of the PRC’s weapons resemble “vinaigrette” from the finalized decisions of the USA, Russia, and European countries. Moreover, in the field of submarines, without which it is impossible to create a combined-cycle gas-compressor station on the basis of the NOC, the PRC's successes are not great: obviously, critical data in this area have not yet been obtained. On the other hand, China can replicate on a large scale what has already been developed, so the extensive development path for China looks more natural.

In the last century, during the Cold War era, original projects often appeared in the USSR: ekranoplanes, deep-sea high-speed submarines and highly automated submarines with a liquid metal reactor, Spiral spacecraft, and much more. By the way, the USA also experimented quite actively during the Cold War. But the USSR is no longer there, and the conventional forces of the Russian Federation pose a minimal threat to the United States, more likely even useful from the point of view of the occasion for budget development.

As for Russia, the Russian Navy hardly manages to maintain the fleet at a minimum level, although there has been recent progress in the serial construction of frigates of project 22350, although strategic and multi-purpose nuclear submarines are being built quickly. On the other hand, the Russian Navy allocates resources for specific projects such as the Poseidon strategic torpedo and special submarines for it. Maybe in the shipbuilding program of the Russian Navy there is a place for diving surface ships? At least, conducting research in this direction will be inexpensive and looks very real, and carrying out work at the outline design level will not take up a lot of resources.

      Let's try to figure it out.

      1 SSBN project 955 (A) costs approximately 700-900 million dollars.

      Let 955NNK based on it be twice as expensive - 1,4-1,8 billion dollars.
      SSR 955K the same 700-900 million. Dollars.
      Well, ICAPL type Ash is expensive in itself - somewhere around 1,4 billion dollars.

      TOTAL, KUG of two NOCs, two SSGNs and four ICAPLs will cost:
      from 1,4 + 1,4 + 0,7 + 0,7 + 1,4 + 1,4 + 1,4 + 1,4 = 9,8 billion dollars.
      up to 1,8 + 1,8 + 0,9 + 0,9 + 1,4+ 1,4+ 1,4+ 1,4 = 11 billion dollars.

      Of these, most of them are ICAPLs, which are needed on their own, will be NOCs or not.
      SSGN 955K, too, will not interfere, because SSGN project 949 is not eternal.

      Those. you need to look and compare in essence only the cost of the NOC.

      1 frigate of project 22350 costs 300 million dollars. It is difficult to imagine how much the floating targets for the US Navy - the Leader destroyers - would have cost. Why targets? Because they would be very expensive, they would have built 3-4 of them (this is if oil is under 100 rubles), and apart from showing the flag there would be no sense from them, and it's cool, to have a surface fleet "for show-off."

      In total, 4 KMUs based on NOCs will cost about $ 40 billion, or maybe less, first of all, if it is possible to reduce the cost of ICAPL. And secondly, if the NOC is not so complicated and its price is not twice that of the SSBN 955A, but, for example, 1,5 times.

      And how much will the US cost developing new types of RCC-RTs that can counteract NOCs?


      All elements of the NOC-based KUG can operate autonomously much more successfully than a single surface ship of the classical design. The PL on their own business, as they are doing now, and the NOC as a raider will be much more tenacious than 22350 / "Leader" / "Peter the Great", etc. Although in the composition of the IBM, the efficiency will certainly be higher.

      Again, everything depends on the survivability of ships before a massive anti-ship missile strike. Let's imagine there is a war going on. Not a crush between the US and Russia in Syria, but a real conflict when we sink each other's ships. We deduce YAO from brackets. I'm not sure if the US Navy starts to sink our fleet, the government will launch a nuclear attack on the US, knowing about the "response". We need a fleet and, in general, armed forces capable of "taking a blow" and surviving in conditions of the enemy's numerical superiority.

        Why do you imagine that diving will protect you from something? Your diving ship is visible and audible (due to radar) to the entire ocean. The fact that he dives will not save him if the enemy knows about his existence. The atomic ship (otherwise it will dive to the depth of the snorkel, which was pointed back in World War II) - means expensive. Replacing warheads for parts of missiles with a torpedo is much cheaper than building one such ship. Reluctance to change your head? It’s not a question: ordinary deck planes went right after the missiles, they would bomb the diving ships with ordinary or anti-submarine bombs. And in general: RCC is a state problem, we relied on them. They were going to throw our ships with atomic bombs from the cabriolet.

          So are surface ships, too.

          To know about existence is one thing, and to know the exact location for guiding anti-ship missiles or missile torpedoes is another. PLO aviation can look for submarines because nothing is threatening it. Try to find a semi-submerged ship from a distance of 200-400 kilometers.

          And the radar turns on and off according to the situation. Considering that long-range UAVs should be attached to NSC-based KMGs, they may well play the role of AWACS at the initial stage.

          Not reluctance, but impossible. Differences in the characteristics of anti-ship missiles and missile torpedoes are indicated in the article.

          Ordinary aircraft still need to find it, i.e. there should be a PLO plane that will give target designation. And if the NOC emerges back? And if the NOC will strike at planes that are much more noticeable than anti-ship missiles, especially taking into account heavy bombs or rocket torpedoes, using target designation from a UAV on a cable? Given the ammunition load of the NOC, many pilots will go sailing.

            What will prevent the enemy from disabling UAVs in advance using long-range missiles? He, the UAV, will obviously be quite large (you can't make a decent radar station small) and "bright".

              Not so big - it needs to be placed in a cube with a face of the order of two meters, + elements of stealth technology. To bring him down, you have to go up to 100 km minimum, but rather 50, and there you can get missiles on board.

              Physical obstacles - the dimensions and mass of torpedoes that need to be delivered to the target, which weigh a ton and several meters long, cannot be thrust into the dimensions of the RCC warheads. And we are increasing the RCC - all tactical carrier planes fall off, on bombers there will be 4 times less.

              To repel 50 anti-ship missiles not a single surface ship is capable of. Here, purely in theory, the probability of 1-2 anti-ship missiles will slip through air defense. Then it turns out that in the surface fleet there is no sense at all?

              And if there is, what is worse than NOC? Its greater resistance to RCC? I’m not saying that NOCs cannot be detected and destroyed, I just assume that it will be much more difficult to do this, compared to classical type NKs.

                Firstly, the conversation is not about surface ships, but about semi-submerged or shallowly submerged ships.
                Secondly, wrong. Because surface ships do not need to dive. Their regular antennas will a priori have a larger area and a radio horizon due to the large placement height. Secondly, they can lift a helicopter or an aircraft (in the case of an aircraft carrier) AWACS, and not a container UAV, the power of the equipment of which is strictly limited by the mass and size parameters of the missile in the launch shaft. It is possible to place layered anti-aircraft missiles with missiles of large, medium and small radius, coupled with ZAK, which minimizes the chances of breaking through the air defense of KUG or AUG. We, after all, are not reasoning about a separate goal in a spherical vacuum, right? Even 1-2 erupted missiles hardly affect the combat effectiveness of the warrant as a whole.
                In the pre-cosmic era, NOCs could make sense. Cons of NOCs do not give them a chance to survive on the modern battlefield: neither powerful high-placed radars, nor sensible AWACS, nor layered air defense. And, as noted by other commentators, it will cost quite a bit. And for what is all the fuss? Cheaper, simpler (in terms of design) and more efficient is reverse blockage, hiding antennas, stealth coverage and other measures to ensure stealth.

                  All this also makes no sense to the radar itself, whether it is anti-aircraft, that is surface, or that the surveillance one is already an unmasking factor, therefore there is no point in initially "hiding" the ship. Even in terms of purely attack, such ships are unprofitable because submarines perform the same tasks much more efficiently.

                  PMSM in the next decades will generally have a tendency to abandon "ships of protection" no matter corvettes, destroyers, frigates or cruisers, this trend is just not so noticeable. PMSM will be more actively developed underwater attack, surface multifunctional large-sized vessels and aircraft-like aircraft with VTOL (VTOL), as well as various unmanned, remote and aviation systems with reference to these three elements. For example, instead of minesweepers, there will be robotic systems based on UDC or a land base and delivered by air at a distance of thousands of kilometers from the basing point. In terms of cost-effectiveness, this combination will be more beneficial than what is now.

                    Of course - when it is turned on. But there are also means of RTR, which are sometimes enough in the presence of external target designation from DRLO means. Then a short-term guidance session and again silence, missile defense maneuvers, etc. This is how corrected weapons, missiles, helicopters, etc. work. And it’s effective: the time of direction finding and counteraction by RTR’s own means is limited by the short duration of the enemy’s light exposure session. Or turn on your viewing and guidance tools, and you yourself are at a glance at the attackers. Therefore, while it is possible, the game of cat and mouse continues. And without any diving.
                    About the tendency: You do not quite correctly understand the purpose of the "defense ships". Their main goal is to control water areas (if we are talking about BMZ ships, then yes: mainly in order to protect adjacent water areas, and if DMZ, then the range of tasks performed is greatly expanded). And counteraction to the threats that arise when this goal is achieved, such as: submarines, KUG, naval aviation, mines, etc.
                    There is a trend towards unification and modularity of the fleet. What you are talking about, firstly, is not a short-term matter, and secondly, any station wagon will solve every specific problem worse than a specialist and will be less flexible in it. Although yes - it will have a different kind of flexibility - changing specialties for a specific task. And there are already such ones - so far so-so. The problem is also that the large carrier of several (by the number of) platforms is primarily a large target, which will require security ships (narrow specialists) - the price of the multifunctionality of this carrier itself.
                    Read the article "Defective aircraft carriers and their cost to society" and comments to it, and, I hope, it will become clear to you why such universal ships at the current level of technological development are utopia.

                      You know, in modern society there are a lot of well-established mental parasitic errors that everyone considers to be the truth in the first instance and does not even try to critically analyze.

                      For example, this "the fewer parts, the higher the reliability", you’ve probably heard, and everything seems to be very reasonable, BUT, here you are an engineer, take two parts and fasten them with a bolt and nut, according to the statement, if you add more details, then the reliability of the connection will deteriorate, here you as an engineer add two lock washers with antennae that hold a nut and a bolt from spontaneous unwinding during vibration of parts, that is, you double the number of parts, in theory reliability decreases, but in practice increases. This is actually a fallacy. (In practice, there are many more such examples, but I'm too lazy to recall them)

                      In the case of "universal / multifunctional / modular" technologies, there are exactly the same misconceptions caused by not knowing and / or not understanding some points (they are not only among the layman, but also among the developers). For example, in the above example with a minesweeper, replace the minesweeper drone with a reusable buoy with a GAC ​​(GAS) and scatter thousands of such buoys at a distance of thousands of kilometers from the base point. As a result, several LA-VTAs and several UAVs can control an area within a radius of thousands of kilometers from the basing point, and even in real time. To achieve the same on the basis of frigates with PLO helicopters, you will need hundreds of ships, which will be orders of magnitude more expensive. But this methodology for solving the problem of PLO has its advantages, disadvantages and problems.and without understanding the underlying technology it is very easy to screw things up. For example, if you do not know or understand anything about asynchronous-synchronous packet transmission of information, about encoding information (not to be confused with encryption!) About spherical-linear communication complexes, and much more, then you can easily deceive yourself with populist slogans in the style of "electronic warfare everything will drown out ", and simply ignore any arguments about the stupidity of such slogans.

                        You noted that correctly. And this is true regardless of modularity or specialization. BUT: ships for different purposes have different conflicting requirements not only for the payload that can be changed, but even for the size, shape and materials of the hull. A simple example: a small nimble minesweeper of the Alexandrite project with several BECs and AUVs will be able to operate relatively safely inside the mined water area and cross them, which gives much greater flexibility of use (non-magnetic hull, dispersal of platforms into several small carriers). Whereas a large UDC loaded with a breakthrough BEC and AUV, even having undergone a demagnetization procedure (not cheap, if at all realizable for such a giant) will still be risky to send through non-mined waters, and its loss will be fatal in terms of ensuring the operation than 1- 2 "Alexandrites".
                        Or, for example, UDC has great demands on the volume of holds, which does not allow making their contours sufficient for the development of high speed. Which automatically excludes for them actions as part of high-speed KUG, not to mention specialization, for example, in an aircraft carrier or an arsenal ship.

                        Is changing. The ship is much larger, slower and in a number of parameters a simple target than an aircraft or UAV. And to destroy a means of guidance and reconnaissance is not the same thing as to destroy the carrier of these UAVs, aircraft and anti-ship missiles. And the effect of surprise is not deprived for the following reason: If an aircraft or UAV is detected by a missile defense system, and not by aviation, then he himself has already discovered this missile defense system. Yes, KUG will bring air defense systems to combat readiness. But, firstly, this does not happen instantly, but by the time it is detected, they can already be approached at a low altitude of the IOS. Secondly, the KUG may repel the IOS attack, but the carriers have not even been found. And there will be no time to look for them corny - you need to reflect the raid. Oh, they, too, will not sit idly by, waiting until they are discovered and destroyed by retaliation.

      The whole question is how to ensure the survival of surface ships when an adversary strikes several hundred anti-ship missiles? Not a single air defense system will be repelled.

      Suppose we build 50 frigates of project 22350 (which is unlikely), form 5 KUGs of 10 ships each, the United States will be able to rivet 5000 LRASM anti-ship missiles (and they’re about to order so much), or even more, and 500 anti-ship missiles fight off no matter how you need to spin.

          There are no special munitions deployed at the air defense systems, anti-ship missiles, and missile defense systems. Their use will mark the beginning of a nuclear war.

          If there is only one answer to all questions - nuclear weapons, then do we need powerful conventional forces? Barmaley need to drive completely different troops - counterguerrilla. The United States took this path, but refused when China began to grow, and we recovered a little.

              Of course, the border between conventional and nuclear war, in the event of aggravation of the conflict, is very thin, but it is. You can’t rely solely on nuclear weapons, otherwise everything loses its meaning - we build only strategic nuclear forces.

              Imagine the situation in Syria.

              The United States is shooting down our plane, we are closing the skies of Syria, they are ignoring, we are shooting down a few of their planes, they are attacking our bases in Syria, they are sinking all of our NK in the region. Starting a nuclear war?

                Of course, ships of the 6th fleet must use nuclear weapons. Then we agree. Negotiating from the provision did not respond or did not cause damage - wrong. Damage must be very serious. Americans call this step cleverly. Escalation for de-escalation.
                If someone thinks that the Americans will exchange the 6th fleet for themselves, they are mistaken. Well, they will come up with something for the electorate, something tricky like the "Chelyabinsk bolide" entered on a non-standard trajectory and rushed over the AUG.

                  I am not against TNWs at all, but the political consequences will be catastrophic. Even the USSR would receive enormous damage from isolation, but in Russia there would simply be tin - poverty, lack of drugs, a drop in the technological level. It will be a mixture of North Korea and Venezuela.

                  But let's get away from the police. We sunk the 6th fleet. After that, the United States systematically sank all of our surface ships with anti-ship missiles with B-1B, what will we do, let them launch nuclear weapons at ground bases?

                  We need an effective conventional weapon of both a strategic and tactical level. Otherwise, we will look like a scumbag, who in any situation waves a nuclear bomb, like North Korea mentioned. Why did the USSR not rely only on nuclear weapons, but actively developed conventional forces?

                  One of the advantages of modern anti-ship missiles is the ability to simultaneously attack from different directions. Imagine that NK reflects an attack of anti-ship missiles from 360 degrees. This is how many SBN will you apply 5-10? Can you imagine what EM hell will be around such a ship? If the RCC is launched in a wave with an interval of 20 minutes, then the second wave will not encounter any resistance at all, since so many UBN bombings will destroy all ship radars.

          So they protect. Only need to shoot down before ejecting cassettes.

          To do this, there are air defense systems like TOR and Shell, Israel makes the Iron Dome. Laser weapons are being developed.

        Some are inclined to believe that modern electronic warfare systems may be even more effective than air defense missile systems in protecting against anti-ship missiles. And if these means are placed, say, on a UAV, what are you going to start "withdrawing" the attacking missiles ahead of time, at a great distance from the attacked ship? So several hundred missiles (in reality - a hundred or one and a half, I think so) can turn into quite a moderate amount.

          The problem is that the United States on the new LRASM anti-ship missiles, in addition to the radar, is also putting optoelectronic guidance and additional target search.

              Yeah, this is an important point. I write a lot and hard about laser weapons, but the comments on it are mostly skeptical too. However, this does not reduce my confidence in its effectiveness.

              On guidance in the radar range. If we admit that the GOS radar station is so easy to interfere and put all anti-ship missiles off course, then we must admit that our doctrine of confronting the US fleet and their henchmen must be immediately thrown into the trash, since ALL of our anti-ship missiles are guided only by the radar guidance.

                I'm not talking about "easy", but this is also a serious factor, although, as I said, there is little evidence. On the one hand, manufacturers of modern anti-ship missiles always note the high noise immunity of the seeker of their products. On the other hand, it has already been noted somewhere that since the mid-70s, not a single ship covered by electronic warfare has been able to hit the anti-ship missile system, but there have been attempts. On the third hand, the RCCs involved in these episodes were clearly not at the forefront of science and technology. And finally, if in some way it really turns out to form a salvo directly into several hundred missiles, then one can hope that some of them will still hit the target, at least by accident. Something like this.

            Not a problem: on a more or less large ship there is a chemist, and he has the opportunity to launch a tricky mechanism that will release fountains of water from a pile of ship points. They did this crap for degassing, but it turned out that it perfectly erodes the infrared signature of the ship to complete discrimination.

      An electric UAV on a "rope" will be very limited in viewing / aiming capabilities due to the very small payload. The height of 100-200 meters does not make the weather, because of the effect of surface propagation of river waves, low-flying objects are already visible far enough.

      It is also not clear why the submarine should be deprived of its main advantage - stealth by screwing on the "snorkel mast" for firing at aircraft. If, however, a surface ship is provided with the ability to dive, then it will have a very small buoyancy reserve, low seaworthiness and not a large payload.

        How far will the invisible anti-ship missiles be visible from the mast on the order of 15 meters? And there is also excitement at sea, range can be reduced. UAVs at 100 meters will not interfere with any waves.

              You suggested a ship similar in design to the submarine of the times of the extreme world. Such vessels, even modern ones, are equally "weak" both under and above water in comparison with specialized NK and submarines. If you compare the group of your hybrids and the same group of submarines and NKs with similar basic charms, it turns out that the latter swim further, faster and longer, take more payload, see and hear better, hide better, and so on. ...

                At the core is an atomic submarine, so certainly not the Second World ...

                - range swimming conditionally not limited;
                - the speed is comparable;
                - NK similar displacement drags a lot of what does not require NOCs, for example, ZRPK. And what is the use of the payload if it is drowned by anti-ship missiles?
                - NK are better not to hide, it is physically impossible. No design of contours will not allow to disguise the case as much as its immersion under water.
                - they see and hear - perhaps only due to the height of the mast, but given that we do not need to reflect the impact of the RCC, but rather hide from them, this is not so critical.

                    Most likely there are, as always, several factors.
                    - expediency. When you dominate the oceans there is no reason to go on adventures (this is about the USA);
                    - complexity - of course such a development is only possible for advanced design schools;
                    - Independence of the design school - if most of the NATO allies are firmly on American technical solutions, then it is difficult to expect original projects from them. France, which is relatively independent, and at the same time has a design school, and which is ready to experiment - diving ships, air defense systems for submarines, can be used as a reverse example. However, their capabilities are limited.
                    - maturity of technology - durable radiolucent composites, powerful high-speed electric drives, conformal small-sized and powerful radars with AFAR, thermal imagers, laser weapons, missiles with ARLGSN. It is enough that there is only one detail - missiles with ARLGSN and IKGSN, and from the NOC there will be no use. Now such technologies have appeared.

                      If you are interested in the topic and you are going to write articles on it in the future, then you just need to design your ship. Enclosures with basic loads, designed for strength and stability, will be enough, power can be estimated for similar cases. It’s not difficult, you just have to work hard.

            It's hard to say, now they are developing radars for UAVs weighing 50-60 kg. The weight of the ZhUK-A radar (with AFAR) 280 kg is a full-fledged radar with more than 1000 emitters-receivers. Perhaps, only a part of the radar can be carried out on the UAV by removing the other part (signal processing) in the submarine hull.

            In the worst case, only an OLS with a thermal imager can be placed on an UAV.

            For me, the UAV's task of detecting RCC is secondary, although important. More important is the ability to defeat aircraft after a dive, to prevent the enemy from working with PLO aircraft.

            But RCC too. Even if the UAV does not greatly increase its range, it can give an understanding of the completion of the missile threat so that the NOC can again sail up and deploy a full-fledged radar.

            With a proven scheme, there are no greater risks than taking off a PLO helicopter. This is not an aircraft-type UAV that sits on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Quadcopter-type UAV landing will be easier to ensure, even taking into account pitching.

            We limit the depth of the NWC to 50 meters, a maximum of 100, and not like the original SSBN 600 meters.

            I will not be surprised that up to 50 meters the mast can be made of composite radio-transparent materials. Moreover, they want to build submarines themselves from composites, with a normal depth of immersion, but so far the technology has “not reached”. In an alternative embodiment, the radar simply extends from the cabin of increased dimension, as I cited in the figure above, and in the surface position. There will generally be no depth restrictions.

            The weight of one radar web should be about 500 kg. They need at least three (for a 360-degree view). Plus OLS and different antennas. Those. we need to take out two tons to a height of 15 meters.

            And yes, the UAV on the cable. With a receiving device, this is still about two tons. But in general, I am inclined that on the mast it’s not worth arranging the UAV landing platform, it is better to allocate a separate compartment for this.

            Hydroacoustic buoys can be abandoned, but someone needs to receive and process information from them, and the RCCs themselves will not be able to cope with this. It’s one thing if the PLO plane above them with a powerful computer is different, and another thing when the processor is 200 kilometers away. Here, buoy transmitters are needed more powerful.

            And on the cassettes, too, must be considered how many will be required? What are the sizes, what area can be covered and with what probability.

            PMSM all this will be more complicated than just an attack by RCC. And do not forget about setting the curtains. The possibility of electronic warfare, knocking down the orientation of the carriers of buoys in space, false surface and underwater targets.

            And finally, to force the enemy (or rather all potential opponents) to radically change weapons and tactics is already a victory.

                The range of existing missile torpedoes is not more than 50 kilometers. Having made the enemy drag RT instead of anti-ship missiles, we will already win, because we can:
                - shoot down carriers that are at 500 km and at 50;
                - there are no tactical aircraft, the rest carry less ammunition, i.e. there will be not 200-400 missiles in a salvo, but for example 40-50.
                - RTs themselves are heavier, do not maneuver, it’s easier to shoot down;
                - You can miss the torpedo drop zone;

                It depends on what is meant by the word diversity. On the UAV, we leave only the transmitting / receiving canvas, and all signal processing equipment on the submarine. We transmit data via cable (optical?).

                It may be an understatement, but the SSBN is a "floating high-rise building," I think it is quite realistic to make several tons higher.

    On the one hand, one could say that Ostap (the author) was carried towards the sea "death star", but on the other hand, China has been working on such semi-submersible concepts since 2011, and in two versions: a ship - an arsenal for escorting and protection of aircraft carrier formations and strike "semi-submarine" cruiser. The latter is similar to the option described by the author of the article.

    Moreover, R&D work is carried out at the level of research institutes, and Bohai Shipbuilding threatens to soon test the prototype.

So such a scow will cope with the demonstration of the flag with a bang. But with target functions, it is more likely to be. As with combat resistance.

      Whether it’s Kuzya + Petya. They don’t have to hide from anyone. They themselves will find whom you want.


      If we could build at least 4 "Kuzi" and 12 "Petyas" to be guarded by them, then we need not take a steam bath, this is already quite a par with the USA, even with their threefold superiority ...

    Submarine at shallow depth is detected visually
    So, the radar on the mast should work without turning off, otherwise it will be detected purely
    Visually.
    And drowned by a cast-iron depth bomb in two counts.
    When the radar is operating, this mast will glow very far.
    Why shoot at it with anti-ship missiles?
    On it you need to stand the PRR, all of its surveillance equipment, in the mast, once hit, and immediately all disabled.
    Then the ship is helpless, send the helicopter and finish as you want.
    The buoyancy margin is small, a relatively small charge is enough

      From what distance? There are also OLS and thermal imagers. With a cast-iron bomb in no way could you get it. And there may also be radars on UAVs with a long flight duration, which can accompany the LAG “in shifts” with their ability to patrol for 24-48 hours.

      The PRR has a shorter range, fly from a great height - it’s easier to shoot down both the PRR and their carrier, these are not low-altitude anti-ship missiles. And you can also dive from them.

    They have one advantage, initially they are not visually visible, but taking into account the development of the enemy’s detection technology for tens and hundreds of kilometers, it will simply come to naught, but surface ships still have the advantage of using high-speed weapons such as artillery and missiles, unlike torpedo and rockets from under the water.

      On the nanotube smile
      According to the engineers, the ship provides torpedoes at speeds up to 560 km / h, a rail gun, a holographic command post, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) armed with a laser instead of masts. For the manufacture of the Dreadnought 2050 hull, instead of steel, it is planned to use transparent acrylic of increased strength, and the UAV will hover above the ship, attached using nanotubes. The ship is planned to be used for reconnaissance, and if necessary - to eliminate close targets with a powerful laser. The UAV, if necessary, can be produced directly on board the Dreadnought 2050, using 3D printing.

    The trouble with all such "projects" is that the conditional combat capability is assessed by "tabular data" and the "economics of the question" is absolutely not calculated. If you do not take into account the hypothetical scenario of a global nuclear war (the dead do not care), then all other combat missions have their own definable price. Unfortunately, the proposed option, with all its "technical aesthetics", does not fit into this framework. For all these combat missions are solved much cheaper using classical solutions. And most importantly, with much lower operating and infrastructure costs.

            Ok, now we look:
            If we are talking about countering the AUG and trying to compare in the number of carriers, what advantage does such a ship have over an attack nuclear submarine? And if, for example, we consider the re-equipment of SSBNs for vertical launch of the same "Calibers"? Despite the fact that the cost of construction and maintenance, relatively speaking, is the same and is based on existing ships.
            Despite the fact that there are already drones launched from torpedo tubes and air defense systems. At the same time, a full-fledged submarine retains the ability to maneuver in depth and, accordingly, is much less vulnerable.
            What is the advantage and need to divert resources?
            Despite the fact that (I didn’t accidentally ask about restrictions), the operation of such vessels requires deep-sea harbors and the infrastructure of submarines - and we don’t have many of them. Such ships will not be able to base in a regular port.
            An example of China? Well, everything is relative - in any case, China has 1 fleet and only 1 naval theater ... And the ocean theater. Again, it is far from the fact that these developments will end with something real. In any case, China is actively building aircraft carriers and launching dozens of frigates and destroyers ... Resource can afford to dig in a different direction ... We have not yet resolved the issue of defense of the near sea zone. There are neither resources nor shipbuilding capacities ... Damn, we are proud that we have assembled a supertanker from "imported components" which is less than what was serially built by the USSR ...

              The submarines are not adapted for permanent location on the border of two media, there is no high mast for the radar. Without this, air cannot be controlled.

              A submarine with an air defense system can protect itself from airplanes, no more. I considered AMFPK as a raider who works alone or as a pair against an opponent’s ACG. He needs an air defense system to knock out AWACS aircraft, which many times reinforce the protection of anti-aircraft missiles from anti-ship missiles.

              The USSR had hundreds of submarines of comparable displacement. You can’t cut piers just like that, you can restore it. I considered the need for 8 NOCs, this is not so much. Where submarines can be based, there will be NOCs. Do not forget, at the heart of the NPC RPKSN. They should float above the waterline when the ballast tanks are fully purged.

                  Suppression of an airborne AWACS is "simpler" only in theory, in practice such devices, on the one hand, can be armed / covered with guided anti-missiles and counter-attack weapons, and on the other hand, they can work not alone, but in a group. In terms of suppression, if we sort in descending order of "resistance to suppression", we get: LA-AWACS, ground / surface movable, stationary. In LA-AWACS, the main disadvantages will be the detection range, recognition accuracy and target designation accuracy relative to the location point, but this is offset by the ability to move in space and exit at the desired angles. The same hokai at AUG are protected at the tactical and strategic level of organizing the interaction of the AUG and not at the technological one.

                    This is certainly true ... but we are here a little about something else ... How is it easier to disable the "eyes of the air group"? Trying to bring a surface target to her, albeit partially, but a surface target (however, at speeds) or to shy away on the way with 300 km of DVB missiles? Two regiments of Tu 22 are still cheaper ... but they carry more missiles in a salvo ... And they themselves are much less vulnerable ... intercepting targets whose speeds are comparable to interceptors is by no means an easy task ...

                      Well here (the destruction of LA-DRLOs covering AUGs), depending on the combat scenario and the conditions of the theater of operations, either DVB or UAV-DVB or submarines with anti-aircraft torpedo missiles or different hybrids of these three options will be effective. There are small exceptions with super-long-range air defense missiles such as s-400 \ s-500, etc. but even there they essentially use land-based DVB missiles.
                      But in any case, this is not particularly necessary for the destruction of AUGs, because destruction is based on the stealth of the launcher and the mass of means of attack (RCC), this is either the stealth of submarines under water, or the stealth of wheeled launchers in the forest / city or the secret low-altitude relief envelope passing the submarine .
                      Another thing, or rather, the most important nuance in the attendant advantages affecting the economy and geopolitics. NOCs have such advantages or not at all or they are much more profitable to implement in another embodiment.

            Your history is bad ... nothing was overturned by the first tanks and even tactical successes were negligible ... The fact that the British foolishly and having the technical ability riveted a couple of hundred miserable cans does not say anything about their technical school ... only about the production possibilities and the economy ... The same "All-terrain vehicle" Porokhovshchikov was much more perfect and most likely more effective in battle ... but it was not the designer's fault that the country did not have the technical ability to massively embody his ideas in iron. So excuse me - if I see technical illiteracy, it remains funny regardless of how much "circulation" it is embodied. ...

                      2) in the "Battle of England" in 1940, the British defeated the Luftwaffe.

                      3) the British infantry was no worse than the German. A marksmen arrows
                      - much better. In battles in Africa in infantry skirmishes
                      the British usually prevailed.

                        1) World War I - Jutland. Compare the loss? Yes, Britain won due to the fact that it was stupidly able to set twice the tonnage. The Second World War is even funnier, from the prospect of colliding with a Bismarck-like British, it’s just fine .... While the ratio of surface ships in general was almost 1 to 5 ...
                        2) In the "Battle of Britain" the British did not defeat the Luftwaffe - they just thwarted the German air offensive despite the fact that they were fighting over their territory, having a constant numerical advantage with a radar guidance system. And then, in general, they were on the verge of defeat - it was only saved by the fact that the main backlash fighter absolutely did not have enough range to conduct any active air battle over Britain.
                        3) I do not compare the personal characteristics of the infantry (no one can refuse British courage) but organizationally Rommel drove this infantry with pissed rags ... Elementary - how many and what kind of machine guns were in the British infantry squad?
                        Mortars? Other means of fire support?
                        All this despite the fact that the Germans always fought with significantly fewer troops ...

    My opinion is that a semi-submersible ship is NOT NEEDED, because he loses the advantages of submarines and does not acquire the advantages of surface ships. Those. complexity increases and benefits are minimal.

    If you think in this direction, it will be more efficient to use submarines. Those. there is a big sub. It hides many different autonomous modules (in fact drones). If necessary, the module is undocked from the submarine and performs its task.

    Those. the result should be a kind of transformer.

    And filling with autonomous modules can be different. And they will not so unmask the PL-uterus. There is only a question of communication.

    Any RCC attacking from a hill, like a harpoon for example, is suitable.
    Corresponding software with delayed blasting after getting into water- and anti-ship missiles will explode under the mast.
    Submersible buoyancy, by definition, is negative, any minor damage is enough to drown.

      When attacking RCC, the NOC must completely go under water, unless of course it / them (RCC) could not be brought down. And after that, the RCC will not have the exact coordinates of the target for the attack. At what distance does a warhead of 500 kg damage the housing of the NOC? For a time of two to four minutes (the time of the arrival of the RCC after detection), the NOC at a speed of 15 to 30 knots will change its location at a distance of 1 to 4 kilometers.

      By the way, this also applies to the proposal to sow NOCs with cluster bombs. It will not be possible to change the course radically, but even when the NOC moves forward-sideways, it will be approximately necessary to cover an area from 1 km2 to 32 km2, and each subsequent minute the distance will increase (and the area is squared).

      Even if a UAV is launched on the cable, it is not a pointer, since it can shift to the side, within the cable length, and will most likely give the RCC a false target designation.

      And they won’t see RCC an electric drone, because their GOS is not optimized for such a task.

          In a set of missiles at all ranges, including up to 400 km. The restriction is more likely to be based on the minimum range (if there is no LO), but this is not important, since the passage of anti-ship missiles at the border of 10 km is a guaranteed immersion. In general, spending missiles makes sense only if RCC 3-4 pieces, if more, it is easier to dive.

          For NOC it should be less than 1 minute. Moreover, unlike the surfaced submarine, the NOC is actually already "submerged". He just needs to increase the diving depth by 20-50 meters. It was not in vain that I wrote about pumps of increased power + diving at speed is performed with planes.

          At a distance of 10-20 km, RCCs will lose NWs immediately after turning off the radar (if they have a passive guidance mode), and then the mast dimensions on the surface will begin to rapidly decrease.

          Can RCC even hit a target the size of a fishing boat? Do not forget about the clouds of metallized aerosol.

          And I have proposed inflatable masts as decoys. It is practically impossible to make an "inflatable" ship, and the mast is a pyramid 10-20 meters high with a weighting agent inside, the PMSM is quite realistic. They can be made folded in the UVP caliber, and placed instead of part of the PKR / KR six pieces.

          UAVs-AWACS are unable to provide detection and target designation of air targets, especially air flying ones, only manned aircraft or UAVs with wired communication can do this, but the latter are unnecessary due to obviously weaker performance characteristics. You yourself can see this if you read the following topics
          1) asynchronous-synchronous packet data transfer and methods for breaking and compressing information (for example, how the Internet protocol works from the point of view of the programmer)
          2) coding-modulation of information in a common (wireless) channel (for example, Wi-Fi and bluetooth operation in general and the use of bit masks in digital-to-analog-digital conversion (searching in the ADC for not bits but bit masks))
          3) complexes of spherical-linear communication (there the sensor array (antennas) is divided into groups having different spatial orientations and isolation among themselves (for radio signals I have not seen but there are so-called directional-line microphones and speakers in acoustics))
          If you do not go into details, then the communication of the aircraft <=> the ship cannot be drowned out, but you can reduce the speed and synchronization of data transmission in the case of PLA-AWACS, people can configure the performance characteristics of the information transmission system, but the UAV has no such opportunity at all or is cut by many orders of magnitude. ...

          The dive bonus is the ability to dive from RCC. Do not shoot them down while spending missiles. Not a single surface ship will recapture 50 anti-ship missiles, and the NOC will simply hide from them under water for the duration of the strike - for 20-30 minutes maximum.

          Less noticeable for NOCs is secondary compared with the ability to evade RCC. Nevertheless, it will take place. In any case, displaced water and launching a rocket from under water unmask the NOC less than the surface ship unmasks itself by the very fact that it is surface.

          The NOC is not a replacement for a PC, it is a replacement for a part of surface ships to form a KGM, sharpened to withstand a superior number of KGG and AUG of the enemy.

          They are not needed. The NOC does not need the last frontier of defense against RCC, it just dives from them. In addition, rapid-firing guns look spectacular, but their effectiveness against modern ammunition is in question. In Syria, Shells shot down many missile targets, but not a single gun.

          In a previous article, I described the capabilities of the United States to deliver a massive RCC strike of 200-400 missiles. How many frigates do you need to withstand such a blow? Even nuclear weapons are a big question, since the very first nuclear explosion will disable all the electronics of the defender, or seriously worsen the jamming stop in the radar range. And the enemy will strike a new blow from a safe distance.

                  If it will be necessary to make their range comparable to anti-ship missiles, then tactical aircraft will no longer lift them, and B-1B bombers will take 4 times less. In the compartment of the aircraft - carriers are substituted, but nobody wants to let them into the air defense zone, they may not return.

                  And why should NOC be prohibitively expensive? In fact, this is a basic project with a sealed superstructure from frigate 22350 (conditionally), while the lack of the need to dive for 600 meters greatly reduces the design requirements of the original submarine, which should compensate for the installation of various thrusters / compensating devices.

In case of a raid To go under water means to let the plane with a torpedo or even easier to use a depth bomb. That is, you need the opportunity not only to go under water, but also to snarl from under the water!
    Do not leave when flying under water, this means not having any advantages before what is already today. There will only be stealth, and dubious.
    The main enemy will be submarines that will be stealth, and it is easy to drown with torpedoes, and continue to hear.

      So actually everything is described. The presence of anti-torpedoes is mandatory, they are indicated in the ammunition. A PLO plane is not the most difficult goal, and a large one, therefore it can be detected by UAVs on a cable even with optical reconnaissance equipment. The launch of missiles from under water is implied.

      And from enemy submarines, NOCs must cover "their" multipurpose submarines from the KUG.

        Yes, it’s not a problem, of course, and it’s much cheaper to assemble everything in packs for mines, the launch and reverse loading of the UAV was a bit confusing at first, but there’s nothing complicated either, this float is stabilized by a cable if the load is not at the bottom and the cable is pulled. Even nothing really needs to be developed. But they’ll lie it here they will be the first to do it, although the Russian Federation has an advantage in air defense systems, but Americans have more suitable boats, in addition to being patriots, they add patriots to the Tomahawks, the point is to create such subtle threats to airspace, which is debatable.

        A PLO plane is not the most difficult goal, and a large one, therefore it can be detected by UAVs on a cable even with optical reconnaissance equipment.

        This is a very optimistic view. Provided that the optical stations determine aircraft up to 40 km in a narrow sector! I am silent about the lack of a radar for UAVs so far, with rare exceptions, but these exceptions have nothing to do with the UAVs you described.
        So we need an optical station by no means alone to give a wide field, in which there will still be blind spots. And the important question of anti-aircraft missiles, which redoubt doesn’t work, is that he needs radar illumination. And that means only active optical GOS , and how many such systems do we have?!?! with a medium-long radius.

          It depends on what OLS capabilities we have now. On the F-35 OLS, a torch of a ballistic missile engine is detected for 1000 kilometers. Of course, this is a ballistic missile, but 1000 kilometers ...

          Already a plane PLO for 50 km, she will notice.

          They are developing. Recently, there was an article on the VO: Russian small-sized radars against drones
          https://topwar.ru/168684-razrabotka-otechestvennyh-malogabaritnyh-rls.html

          In general, we are talking about UAVs with electric motors on the power / control cable. Of course, we don’t have them, but this does not mean that this is an extremely complex technology. I considered UAVs for air defense in the article:
          Ensuring the work of the air defense system on low-flying targets without involving Air Force aviation

          Redoubt just relies on missiles with ARLGSN and IKGSN. They do not need backlighting, only target designation, and it can also be issued by OLS.

            The Redoubt has IKGSN only on a short-range missile 9m100, this is up to 40 km with an optimistic option! That is, at the supposed boundary of the optical station's capabilities. Not to mention that Redoubt cannot shoot from under water!
            By the way, this is already a distance of the possibility of torpedoing a given ship, for today. And as soon as such ships appear they will certainly increase, and there will be a situation where attackers can shoot a ship without entering the return fire zone. Which, to put it mildly, is not very good.
            So without solving complex key points, this idea is a failure. You need to learn to shoot from under water, and if you teach to shoot from under water, then why such a monster when there is a submarine.
            And to learn to shoot from under water is only possible with a solution to external target designation, which means creating a flock of UAVs with backlight reconnaissance equipment, and the possibility of a long continuous flight.
            Once again, having created the UAV that you are talking about, which by the way appeared in the program "Military acceptance" Technopolis Era. And if it can become a full-fledged reconnaissance and target designation station, then it is better to install it on multipurpose submarines, which will expand their capabilities, and will be done on already existing and understandable platform.

    In the eighties of the last century there was a book "Ships and Shipping of the Future", there such ships were called semi-submerged. So, it is not necessary to invent new terms. Their advantage was considered to be significantly lower water resistance during movement than that of conventional surface vessels.
