Russian air defense missile systems "Pantsir-S" received an automated control system

Russian air defense missile systems "Pantsir-S" received an automated control system that allows finding targets and shooting them down without operator participation. This was reported by Izvestia with reference to sources in the Ministry of Defense.

As stated in the military department, the Russian ZRPK "Pantsir-S" received a new automated control system with "signs of artificial intelligence." The new system independently, without the participation of the operator, takes into account the tactical situation, the location of targets and the degree of their danger, after which it chooses the sequence of hitting targets for optimal reflection of the raid.

The control system is designed specifically to protect against mass strikes by any air weapons - from improvised drones to cruise and ballistic missiles. It can combine several complexes under its control to more effectively hit targets or cover each other. Also, this system can be integrated into the control systems of other Russian anti-aircraft systems, taking control of them, or acting as an auxiliary, receiving target designations from the command post.

As the former chief of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the Russian Air Force, Lieutenant General Alexander Gorkov, said, human capabilities are limited, and modern anti-aircraft combat is fleeting. During a massive air strike, the commander does not always have time to analyze the situation, especially if the attack is coming from different directions. Therefore, the introduction of automated systems significantly increases the efficiency of anti-aircraft systems.

New capabilities will not only significantly increase the effectiveness of the complex, but also allow the competent and economical use of its ammunition

- added the general.

If my memory serves me, then in the program of the Polygon of the Year it was shown in 2018 that Pantsir has 3 modes of operation, manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic? So someone was lying either then or right now!

Not this way.
"got a new automatic control system with" signs of artificial intelligence. "
The key word is "new".
That is, another modification of the automatic control system.

That's right ... that is, I think now you can take a combat module, put it around the perimeter of the object, and in the center there is a control point ... and all this is interconnected and finished at this very command post. And in automatic mode, this network of modules will cover the facility, with the formal control of the central console.

1. Not an automatic, but an automated control system.
2. They have been independently detecting targets for a long time without the participation of the operator (the operator's only task is to press buttons, to turn on / rotation / radiation)
3. The most interesting statement is "Knock down on your own." I will not be surprised that in the end it will turn out to be a modified target illumination algorithm for missile guidance.

Here we are apparently talking about a complex system that works with several installations at once.
Previously, only one unit could operate in automatic mode.

Plus, the target allocation algorithms are clearly improved.

This is usually done by a journalist. just called it "embellish".
The goal, as a rule, is either to elevate the episode, or to create a reserve for provocation.

How is windows? As soon as the current Windows is brought to mind, having cleaned out all the bugs, you immediately have to pay for a new one,
with bugs.

[Zaurbek]

And the new one starts to slow down on the old hardware .... and the newest one wants both fast Internet and be in the "cloud". This was fully implemented in F35.

Who would doubt that the complex needs some protection / autonomy from incompetent calculation actions, besides, the automation system will allow connecting the complex to a single, powerful control center, which is a natural way of development of such systems.

[voyaka uh]

An automated system is good. It will save many lives of air defense personnel in Syria, Libya, and others.
They will immediately move away to brew coffee 50 m from the machine and not interfere with its work.

[geon]

there is one caveat: it is unlikely that the updated system will be installed on export modifications, at least not immediately

[storm]

It also says that the development for the air defense of the Russian Federation !!!

And if it takes the lives of Israeli pilots, it will also be good.
Yes, if it works for a Jewish pocket, it's not bad either.

[Rostislav]

All Arabs will queue up for such an upgrade.

What a marvel! "Signs of AI ...!" Yes, in Russia there are as many as you like, in the State Duma and the government, deputies and ministers with "signs of artificial intelligence"!

Nikolaitch! This was true of Team Plush ...
Now the situation seems to be changing for the better. At least I liked the report by MikhMish at the State Duma meeting. Quite decently and adequately! Without pink snot and rolling your eyes to the ceiling, as happened before ...
Yeah

[Nikolaevich I]

Well, it could be ... it could be ... And yet it seems that not enough time has passed and few things have been done (results obtained ...) to draw specific and categorical conclusions "in favor" of the current government ... but it remains also the State Duma, practically the same composition! Of course, I can be shown those social events issued by the government recently, but do not forget the word "populism"! What can't you do to drive off the "roast cock" from the "fifth point"! In general, we'll see!

Perhaps this has its own reason ...
I agree!

This is the standard PR chatter of all corporations in the world and not only defense ones.
For example, every time a new aircraft appears or is modernized, one of its new qualities is called "all-weather", although this has been declared in its old versions since almost the 50s.
You should have heard the PR chatter of American military companies, there, too, every upgrade is a big step for all of humanity.

an automated control system that allows without operator participation find targets and shoot them down
