Shvabe holding presented a neutralizer for sniper optics

The Russian holding Shvabe, within the framework of the Army-2020 military-technical forum, presented the Sosna-N system for neutralizing sniper and observation optics at long distances.

As follows from the press release, the Sosna-N neutralizer is an improved version of the Sosna sniper and observation optics detector. The new system was created by specialists from the Polyus Research Institute named after MF Stelmakh on a proactive basis.

The new SOSNA-N device also detects optical devices aiming or observing an object. However, at the same time, if necessary, he also neutralizes them with the help of visual interference - special laser radiation

- says the description.

According to the general director of the Polyus Research Institute Yevgeny Kuznetsov, the effectiveness of countermeasures depends on the distance of the target, but in any case, the entire field of view of the optical device is completely illuminated by intense counter radiation.

The developers recommend the device to the military for setting visual interference with snipers, spotters, gunners of enemy anti-tank missile systems, etc.

On the battlefield, if of course it will be, an irreplaceable thing.

I wonder where the hands grow from the "creators". The XXI century, after all, is in the yard. And here is the level of an enthusiastic Kaldyr from a neighboring apartment, a "holding" specializing in distilling and destroying the resulting "product". That's a "worthy" landmark.

Hands grow where do you need! And the head too how it works! ..... Unlike some "commentators"!

[Shurik70]

If enemy sniper optics are detected, it is not difficult for the automatics to neutralize them by directing a laser beam at them.
But it's still interesting how these optics are detected. It is also necessary to analyze the picture obtained from the camera lenses. Moreover, the picture is necessarily of a very high resolution from wide-angle cameras, then the study of all suspicious places with the help of a narrow-angle camera ... And all this in real time. How could a computer processing all of this fit into such a small box?
Probably, the box contains only cameras - one wide-angle, several narrow-angle ones with different ranges of perceived spectra, a laser, and a couple of gyroscopes and attitude motors. And they put the computer separately, it can control this box and wire it.
How much does the Software weigh in megabytes?

[Mikhail3]

Well, logically, the system should first look for IR lasers and other rangefinders. This is simpler, and there are more and more systems to help a sniper. Secondly, not a wide-angle lens, of course. Why waste resources on the fight against interference, which is more than enough from a large lens? It takes a few small lenses to create a multipicture to summarize. Due to the fact that the cameras are at least a little, but spaced along the plane, there is a good opportunity for measuring any parameters such as range.
Modern computers are most of all similar to modern jeeps - cars in order to transport themselves, break their units with their own weight, in general, translate good into shit idle. If you do not use all sorts of browsers, ready-made DLL libraries, etc. etc., then the power of an ordinary household processor will be enough for any analyst behind the eyes and ears.
The only thing that is radically bad about this device is the blinding of the sniper. For the burned out eyes there will be not just an answer, but a full-fledged retribution, and rightly so. Why is the angel done? What prevented you from attaching the most common target designation? Do armies lack large and small calibers?

[Shurik70]

Quote: Mikhail3

This is if the aiming system is "active". What if a sniper under a bush with a conventional "passive" telescopic sight? But they are somehow discovered.
During the war in Iraq, I remember that an American tank drove a shell into a hotel room, spotted the optics there (journalists were sitting there with cameras).
At the expense of blinding - I do not agree. One blinded eye - much more humane than the alternative - fire a heavy machine gun at a suspicious location. After the laser, the enemy can also be interrogated. And if he escapes, he will think many times before risking a second eye. And if it is in a city full of civilians, then there is no alternative.

[Mikhail3]

We will have to give up two-thirds of the instruments that snipers operate, especially the "new school". This is already a considerable success. Snipers are detected by a set of parameters taken from the video image. About blindness - ask the blind.

[samosad]

You will never understand where you were blinded from. Where you or your colleagues will shoot. And the second thing. Blinding greatly discourages others from not only shooting through the scope, but also simply observing the leading edge. This is panic. And this is generally good.

[samosad]

Optics are detected by counter glare emanating from the optical system. Any optics has a focus ..., this is the reflection of a low-power pulse from the focus of the optics and the device registers. Only if earlier a sound signal was displayed for the operator upon detection, now a white spot, such as a "bunny", is displayed on the camera for visualization. The system constantly scans the area, sending high-frequency pulses of low-power laser radiation, and if there is an oncoming observation in any optical system, the device will detect it by reflection from the focus. Technologies of the last century, but quite effective.

I just asked a question. What tips, where did you see them? And why compare mild to sour? Do you think the recorder is hastily glued together? Do you have anything to do with them? In Pine, as I understand it, the shape did not satisfy you, so where does the device dropped from 6000 meters? I think that when the device has a customer, it will be configured for the installation site. And now they just demonstrated that he is and that he can do something that others cannot. And to call the device a "shame", I think you would have to imagine something more perfect. Can you?

[Lexus]

What was that? Give late "back".

The existing types of BUR PI are classified according to the following features:
- special purpose:
- emergency. Designed to establish the causes of drug abuse. All GA aircrafts are equipped with emergency RUR PI. According to modern requirements, this type of BUR PI must register at least 40 AP (altitude, speed, overloads, deflection angles of rudders, ailerons, etc.) and 60 RK (ACS on, Chassis extended, Flaps rejected, Fuel residual, etc.). etc.);
The container with the storage device must ensure the safety of the flight record when it is exposed to shock loads up to 200g with a pulse duration of up to 10 ms, a temperature of 1000 ° C for 15 minutes, corrosive liquids (2 hours) and sea water (5 days). For this purpose, special means of protection and rescue PI are used - a high-strength, heat-resistant and heat-resistant container, buoyancy and devices for slowing down the falling speed;

This is also the SOVIET requirements for ADB. In accordance with ICAO 1970 standards !!! Modern solid state drives are able to withstand short-term overload of 1500g and more! And how, experiencing over 50000g when flying out of the barrel, the Excaliburs and Krasnopoli continue to function until the warhead is detonated? If the device met the requirements, then in order for it to have at least a theoretical possibility of collapsing, the plane should not fall, but, at least, stick into reinforced concrete on afterburner. There is nothing more to break! Not the body and the compound, after all, as in "our case".

I think that when the device has a customer

With this approach, never. If only they will impose on someone according to the order "from above". Ergonomics, functionality, manufacturability - have you heard that? "They are always greeted by clothes." (C).

you should have imagined something more perfect

What? Those. each citizen in one person should be "a Swiss and a reaper", a doctor, a teacher, an engineer, a designer, a programmer, an academician ... and president? All-in-One Soldier? How do you imagine that? I do MY job, and there are no complaints against me! And for my taxes, including other "extortions", all these "Shvabes" are fed by the state, which, if, "God forbid" for officials, every individual becomes self-sufficient, it will simply be unnecessary for a person. It is not surprising that with such an "approach" the collapse of the Russian Federation becomes inevitable. So who are the enemies? And is it really so obvious that you are called upon in the training manual to "overthrow the constitutional order"? No. It's just that the "authors", as usual, issued the "product" without thinking about it either. Thank you, you can not answer further.

[Rostislav]

The result of "neutralizing" [the observation device] and "interfering" [observation] are different actions, what is not clear here?

[carstorm 11]

neutralization is not destruction or damage) to neutralize means not to allow one to perform its functions. visual interference is one way. what is said and explained.

[Rostislav]

Generally speaking, the definition of "neutralize" implies a more serious impact than simply interfering with the performance of a function. To create interference does not mean to make it impossible to complete the task, while the concept of "neutralize" carries exactly this semantic load.
Verbal battles are not important, the device would work normally and faster than them in the troops.

[hagen]

Quote: Rostislav

Actually, the definition of "neutralize" implies a more serious impact

A shock blow to the retina is possible with a temporary weakening of the functions of the latter. The use of blinding laser weapons is prohibited by international agreements (Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons (Additional Protocol) to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects). I do not think that the officially presented sample will cross the border of the ban. In any case, in peacetime.

In passive mode, it detects the position of a sniper, observer, spotter. There is no way to destroy, they neutralize the work of optics with laser radiation.
Cool system. But I suppose it will not be difficult to calculate it, and to deceive.

Let's just say that now optical polycarbonate is widely used, it is lighter and stronger, in terms of optical properties it is almost like excellent glass. It snaps out rather when using laser rangefinders. Plus, the missile gunner will snatch out the laser beam. The rocket will not fly anywhere. Often the observer looks not directly through the optics, but through electronic screens, then the matrix will be blinded, to put it mildly. When a laser hits the eye, it is not good enough. And about the prohibition, well, maybe he saw enough of welding, maybe the scale got into the eye.

I don't even remember. Something like that. There was essentially a box on a tripod. Outwardly similar to LTSU Malachite. Massive and heavy. I scanned the sector with a laser and, when detecting optics, hit with a high-intensity beam. He worked very quickly. The distance is less than a kilometer, but we worked on increasing the range. The trick was not detection but defeat. Journalists asked a lot of questions about photo and video cameras. They were afraid for safety.

[Fibrizio]

She is remembered in peacetime and is not adopted by non-conventional weapons. Even in the "wild times" of the Second World War, the parties did not use poisonous substances, realizing that this would be followed by their massive use by all parties to the conflict. Likewise, no one in their right mind is armed with ammunition that creates fragments invisible to X-rays. For this, if you lose the war, they can hang.

You Alexander tell this to the Lebanese after cluster shells with needle fillers, Serbs and Iraqis with white phosphorus and depleted uranium. The Vietnamese with pesticides and napalm. The list will turn out to be decent. But at the expense of WWII and chemistry, yes, many used, only modestly, without sweep.

[Fibrizio]

You, too, compare the scales. In all the cases you listed, there was a "weak side". Even if they wanted, there was nothing to oppose them. And in the event of a conflict between major powers, it is extremely important not to provoke the opponent to use nuclear, bacteriological or chemical weapons, otherwise, as they say, "the whole world is in dust" can work out.
And what the white man was driving the Zulu, the Zulus cannot tell, maybe they could not bear the "burden of the white man."

Maybe you don't need a lie? Chemical weapons were used in the WWII, but little, and then they completely abandoned due to poor efficiency, everyone already knew what it was and how to resist it. Dill use mortar mines with plastic splinters, and for some reason, no one from the United States or the EU is interested in this fact.

As far as I remember, such devices have been around for a long time and have been working. At least any SSOs. About damage to optics by burning it is complete nonsense. But the damage to the retina is complete. Including irreversible. In cities where there are many cameras, it doesn't work very well. It's better in the field. There are also systems to counteract this thing. Moreover, they are often quite primitive in the form of cunning mesh blends. Well, in the active mode, it is elementary determined and neutralized.

I wonder if there are optical systems where the optics are not "connected" directly to the eye? With an electronic sight.

[Polente the Wanderer]

Commentary: "And they put the computer separately, it can control this box and wire it."
Can it really be so?
Should we consider an individual as an object?
How much does the camera and computer weigh then?
After all, a soldier or "object" will have to carry all the devices with him. The cost of this device?
If the object is a building, structure, then how will point optical observation be detected? By chance?
Optical observation does not emit waves unless additional laser sighting is enabled.
Optical observation is not radio waves.

[Incompetent]

but in any case, the entire field of view of the optical device is completely illuminated by intense counter-radiation

and if the sniper is wearing anti-glare yellow glasses
