The system of remote installation of mines "Agriculture": creatively approached the name

In Russia, the final stage of testing the new multiple launch rocket system "Agriculture", designed for remote installation of mines. Remote Mining Engineering System (ISDM) includes combat and transport-loading vehicles, as well as transport and launch containers.

Transport and launch containers contain engineering ammunition that meets the requirements of the Geneva Convention regarding their subsequent self-destruction.

The combat vehicle is a volley fire system with fifty guides of 122 mm caliber. It is capable of using various types of mines: both anti-personnel and anti-tank. Before the salvo set flight mission and parameters for the self-destruction of ammunition.

The range of the "Agriculture" is 5-15 kilometers, which allows mining in the safest and most maneuverable way at a remote distance.

The developer of the new technology is the NPO Splav.

It is also known that a combat vehicle can install mines of a new generation. Perhaps we are talking about the "smart" mines POM-3, which were reported back in 2016. Thanks to a special electronic filling, such mines are able to recognize targets and work only when necessary. For example, they ignore animals and vehicles and respond only to humans.

KamAZ vehicles with armored cabs equipped with air filtration and ventilation systems, as well as air conditioners, are used as a chassis for “Agriculture”.

For the first time, the system was officially unveiled on June 24 at the parade in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory, which took place in Moscow on Red Square. Two combat and two transport-loading vehicles took part there. But even before that, “Agriculture” could be observed during rehearsals.

Now the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are armed with universal mine-clearances (UMZ) based on the chassis of ZIL-131 vehicles, the maximum radius of which is 100 meters. There is also a helicopter mining system VSM-1 based on Mi-8, which can be used from a height of not more than 150 meters.

In the 70s, on the basis of MLRS Grad and Hurricane already tried to create a similar system with a range of up to 30 kilometers, but it was ineffective due to low accuracy and high cost of ammunition.

The team of authors, in terms of name, approached the process creatively. According to some reports, the "agrarian" theme prevailed initially. For example, the Sower option was proposed. But in the end, the remote mining system became "Agriculture."

Mines are petty but effective.
You have to have one.

And there is also a purely peaceful contraption-device "ATAS". Automatic Translator of Emergency Situations. The device transmits alarms of the safety automation of gas boilers to the dispatching office via a radio channel.

I remember in the distant 1983 we were in pairs in agronomy - "what is Agriculture", although then there were other KamAZs, and the main vehicle in the village was the GAZ-53 and my beloved ZIL-130 ...

[Vladimir61]

As of 2017, China and Russia are opposed to restrictions on anti-tank mines, such as requiring that such mines be deactivated on their own. Yes, here you go and you will not find obese up to three centners of citizens, but the Americans should not wander in such fields.

You just did not understand - you had to smoke.

[rosomaha]

it can be assumed - in submission ... Grads are gunners, and Agriculture is engineer troops.

[garri-lin]

And for the sake of making a new car? Although it is possible to program mines in the trunk already. At the last moment. And on Grad this is not to be realized.

[Lopatov]

Quote: garri-lin

And for the sake of making a new car?

It is completely justified.
Unfortunately, gunners cannot land mines quickly. For it is necessary to defuse the installation, to put cluster munitions with mines, and only then launch

The "Tornado-G" has implemented information input into ammunition.

But of course, this system is head and shoulders above the "Tornado-G"
But what a saving ...

[garri-lin]

What's better? You are an experienced person and understand much better. Isn't it cheaper to give Tornado minerals? Or the Tornado cannot do what Agriculture can.

[Lopatov]

Quote: garri-lin

Isn't it cheaper to give Tornado minerals?

Cheaper.
But apparently the sappers were able to break through a normal installation, and not a "budget option"

KamAZ, of course, strains as a "base", but the combat effectiveness due to the much shorter loading time at ISDM will be much higher
Just compare, which is faster, install two transport and launch containers with a crane, or manually charge 50 missiles one at a time.


Apparently, the complex went to the developments of "Alloy" in the field of promising MLRS, "slaughtered" under Medvedev-Serdyukov in favor of "Tornado-G" and "Tornado-S"

[garri-lin]

Clear. Do you know about unification? Tornado G will be able to shoot new missiles? Is Agriculture Old?

[Lopatov]

Quote: garri-lin

Purely visual guides of "Agriculture" are longer.
Perhaps this is an optical illusion, but if not, then the "Tornado" will not be able to apply RS to ISDM normally.

[garri-lin]

Thanks for the clarification. And let the last question. Grad was criticized as a production mines for low efficiency. 5 anti-personnel. Or 3 anti-tank. In this sense, tornado was recognized much more effectively. What do you think, besides, in the new product, Agriculture, they used a caliber that was previously criticized?

[Lopatov]

The late Veremeev criticized, but he is not an artilleryman.
"Grads" are shooting with a division. 40 x 3 x 18 = 2160 anti-tank mines in a salvo

Quote: garri-lin

Cheaper than PC. A lot.
In addition, if my vision does not deceive me, and the guides are really longer, then there will be more mines in the warhead.

[garri-lin]

Thank. I think as the information is declassified here at the VO discussions will resume again. Interesting topic.

The reason most likely is that these machines will be with engineers, not with artillerymen. Those. no need to distract artillery from their important tasks.

[Lopatov]

Quote: Out

A bit wrong.
Gunners will use remote mining. But only for planned purposes.
A system of sappers will be used to solve suddenly arising tasks.

As an example, an advancing enemy column was discovered. It is necessary to give the infantry time to engage in unprepared defense. On the way to advance the enemy, they quickly create mining sites that will delay him. Including such sections will help artillery and aircraft to hit him on the march.

Questions arise for those who are not ,, Copenhagen ,, in the difference between the MLRS and the remote mining system! The common between them can be ... for example, the same type of mines. ! But in the remote mining system, there may be a relatively small rocket engine for ,, Eres ,, and, accordingly, a larger number of mines ... A variant of the “Roman candle” is also possible! Perhaps the presence of shorter guides, but in more of them! ....

[garri-lin]

So the range parameters are almost the same.

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: garri-lin

Most often they don’t coincide ... otherwise, it is an MLRS with the possibility of remote mining!

[garri-lin]

The city of missiles with mines throws at 14 km. Agriculture at 15. One of the few voiced parameters.

[Nikolaevich I]

For an engineering system of remote mining, 15 km is a bit much ... all the more if we consider that engineering systems of remote mining like PU with tubular guides can have a range of, scatter, min of several hundred meters. ! .... 5 km for a remote mining system, in my opinion, ,, red ,, distance! But, as you know, there is a MLRS with the possibility of remote mining! I don’t know what the cockroaches ran in the minds of the commoners, ... with mugs or glasses ... but I don’t know these cockroaches! Therefore, it is difficult to explain the “competence” of the names (,, terms ,,) given in this article!

The name of the weapons we have come up creatively and with humor. The silence automatic grenade launcher, the Bal Coast Guard missile system, the Pinocchio and Solntsepek heavy flamethrower systems, the Zoo reconnaissance radar system and a whole artillery bouquet (Carnation, Lily of the Valley, Peony, Tulip, Cornflower). And much more, all not to mention.

Agriculture! The brainy ones in our country are people, after all.

[Paranoid50]

The range of "Agriculture" is 5-15 kilometers,

From the heart. With such characteristics, it is possible to carry out not even sassy, ​​but specifically unlimited mining.

[Kerensky]

Well, the distance is clear. And how many mines are in a salvo? What is the area and density of the field at a distance of 15 km.? The topic is not disclosed.

[garri-lin]

I think for the disclosure of the topic can be robust sit. Secrecyss. And the curiosity of this only flares up.

[Kerensky]

And the curiosity of this only flares up.

Well, we can think of something ourselves. Knowing the caliber, the number of barrels, the length of the TPK, you can estimate the number of mines in a salvo. Taking the normal density, you can estimate the area of ​​the "bed". And vice versa, having estimated the KVO at 15 km. (it is unlikely that there is something supernova), you can determine the area, and from here you can look at the density.

The SKB of the Minsk Tractor Plant, which in Soviet times developed the chassis for the famous "Tunguska", together with other Belarusian enterprises developed a similar minelayer based on this chassis in the early 90s.
Russia refused to supply these chassis in those years and it was necessary to find a new niche for their use. If the design of the chassis and the mounted weapons didn’t plan anything new compared to the mine barriers existing at that time, the control system for the chassis and the process of laying mines was conceived as purely digital and was developed on the basis of the A15 BTsVM and displays used in fighter aircraft, for example, in SU27 aircraft.
This made it possible to abandon almost all the dial gauges and indicators previously used on the Tunguska chassis, replacing them with two multifunctional displays (driver and commander), to ensure high-quality planning of minefields, to lay mines for various purposes in strict accordance with the approved plans, and also to create a base data on these barriers with the coordinates of the barrage zones and other data useful for further use, including the clearance of the delivered barriers. It was then recognized as very relevant because some types of planted mines, including anti-personnel mines, were very difficult to detect using methods known at the time. The same system made it possible to issue all the necessary data to the driver and commander in the process of checking the functioning of the chassis units and attachments, to monitor the chassis units and its coordinates during the movement and to protect these units from the "fool" ie. from those control modes of the chassis that could lead to its failure. It was emphasized that the last of the listed functions is very important because an inexperienced driver could easily enough bring an expensive and very complex chassis to a "heart attack" and even to "premature death". Naturally, the commander had access to all the information that the driver had on his display and could cancel all restrictions if necessary.
How the development ended is unknown to me. I just know that a similar development was carried out in the interests of the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant for installation on multi-axle heavy tractors and was introduced (albeit in a truncated and simplified form) on some of these tractors

And the idea of ​​the name is not so new. In certain circles, the definition "mine is like planting a potato" has been used for a long time.
