The upgraded T-72B3M and T-80BVM tanks will be integrated into the network-centric combat control system

Modernized Tanks T-72B3M and T-80BVM will be built into the network-centric combat control system ESU TZ. This was reported by the press service of Uralvagonzavod (UVZ).

To date, the T-14 "Armata" and T-90M tanks are integrated into the unified control system of the tactical level of the ESU TZ. At the present time, the issue of equipping the ESU TZ equipment of the modernized T-72B3M and T-80BVM tanks in service is being considered.

Tanks T-90M and T-14 "Armata" are equipped with ESU TZ equipment. This system connects all objects equipped with a complex of interaction with the "army Internet". The issue of equipping T-72B3M and T-80BVM tanks, including those in service, with ESU TZ equipment is under development.

- leads TASS message of the press service of UVZ.

The ESU TK system is a unified combat control system, which includes 11 subsystems. It allows real-time data exchange between various combat assets, and also creates a unified information network, data from which can be used by the crew of any combat unit. In addition, the system forms a single picture of the battle space, making it possible to clarify the most dangerous directions and deliver strikes that at the moment can become the most relevant and effective.

The main thing is not to lose classic skills while playing digital war. To fight the barmaley, modern systems will help, but if the enemy receives really high-tech support, can effectively jam radio and other signals, disable satellites, then this whole system can be covered with a basin ...

Serial production reduces costs and ultimately improves quality.

We have already learned how to extinguish signals from optoelectronic devices of armored vehicles.

Exactly! It's good with a navigator, but you must have map reading skills. Likewise, in the army and maps on paper, you need a compass and other non-digital means ...

[Alekseev]

"... hurry up to .."
That's right!
But it would be extremely interesting to know in more detail what kind of beast it is - network centrism at the tactical level, what does it mean "to build a tank into this very system?"
Earlier, control, i.e., roughly speaking, bringing the situation, setting tasks, and sometimes target designation were carried out by means, mainly radio communication, voice, signals.
Signal flares, etc. were also used. facilities.
What about network centrism? Does network-centrism mean for a tank or a platoon only the replacement of analogue radio station with digital? Or is there still a tablet for displaying the tactical situation in the form of a graphic file? Or is there an automatic topographic location, or something else?
It would be interesting to read the comment of a competent comrade.

... Or is there still a tablet for displaying the tactical situation in the form of a graphic file?

Hello.

Not an expert, but a little familiar with her.
In general, her ASUV TK was called ...

The equipment of the tank includes several units of equipment PTC (software and hardware complex) for linear armored vehicles. Works through the Aqueduct. 2 channels simplex or 1 duplex. Electronic map of the area. Something like a tablet is available. There is a possibility of encryption with additional equipment.
Was in testing.

[Aleks tv]

... Was in testing.

I must say right away that the system was still damp.
This is normal for new technology. Now they are being finalized.
There were problems with the accuracy of the location of objects on the ground, I assume that then GLONASS was limping. As well as a long process of entering information.
It's MUCH better now.
If anyone is interested, visit the Constellation website.

VERY, VERY NECESSARY HRENDELPUPEL !!!

Useless unnecessary and harmful system of accounting and control of your troops based on the old principles using the military Internet !!! This ACCS has nothing to do with network-centric systems ... There are no network-centric systems in the Russian Army, even at the tactical level! Only air defense in its essence and historical development has such a principle of construction and functioning. And that's it ... How can you integrate tanks into something that doesn't exist?
On the forum, no one has a clue about network-centric systems ...And in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia there is no concept of such systems ... The Automated Troop Control System is not a network-centric system ... In the conduct of modern combat operations, the ACCU is not used, it has long been outdated ... along with headquarters with stupid old men in general's shoulder straps. ..ASUV can be useful in logistic support to control and account for their troops and their supply ...

Hello.

Before answering, I read your comments in PM.
Judging by them, you understand these issues, but your comments are harsh, fragmentary and ... let's say, not entirely clear, like, for example, individual phrases torn from the general text.

For the most part, we worked only with analog equipment. Practically no one has experience of a certain "figure". I know what is in the Army and what is not, I myself am a part of it.

Maybe write your vision of this issue in a separate article?
I am sure that you can put a lot of things on the shelves. Many people are interested in this information.

[VO3A]

The point is not even that this separate article attracts a candidate, for me this is a long-passed stage. I have quite clear and verified views on this topic ... But this information cannot be open ... And the point is not in stating the mistakes of our potential adversary, but in the practical application of the new approach ... We already have everything necessary to create such systems, I like the name more: Combat Information Systems. But this is not interesting to anyone ... The approach is simple, clear and universal, and you can start even tomorrow ... The concept is new and simple at the same time, it is understandable and easily implemented and provides an original approach ...

[Konnick]

In Russian, it sounds like the interaction of various combat arms aimed at achieving a common goal ... only using advanced digital networks, with computer simulation of the situation and target designation. Computer yok, network bar.
Guderian used such interaction back in 1940, during the capture of France, he had communication with artillery and assault aviation in his tank units, and the unit commanders had direct communication with the artillerymen and pilots, bypassing the headquarters structures to make quick decisions, for example, the pilots transmit the coordinates of the anti-aircraft batteries, covering the crossing, they extinguish them, and the pilots at this time destroy the enemy artillery batteries, who tried to engage in counter-battery combat, and then, after extinguishing the anti-aircraft guns at the crossing, they storm the anti-aircraft guns, clearing the way for tanks to capture the bridgehead.
Everything was fine while the Germans had air supremacy, but as soon as the pilots fell out of this system, the Germans collapsed, for example, Operation Bagration, where the 10-15 times superiority of our aviation so constrained and pressed down to the ground the Center group, that only surrender or try to fight your way through swamps and forests.

[lucul]

for example, the pilots transmit the coordinates of the anti-aircraft batteries covering the crossing to the artillerymen, they extinguish them, and the pilots at this time destroy the enemy artillery batteries who tried to engage in counter-battery combat, and then, after extinguishing the anti-aircraft guns at the crossing, they storm the anti-aircraft batteries, clearing the way for the tanks to capture the bridgehead.

On the Eastern Front, this was all done by FW-189 "Rama", the progenitor of all drones, in terms of reconnaissance

Until the La-5s dispersed all the Rams in the air, the Germans had a huge tactical advantage over us.

[Konnick]

I'm talking about attacking aircraft in the process of combined arms combat. Frames appeared later and the weapons with bombs were not very good, purely preliminary reconnaissance - the location of anti-aircraft and artillery batteries, the location of the anti-tank defense system, etc. It was Guderian who invented direct interaction in the process of battle between different types of troops without an intermediate link in the form of a headquarters. It is mutual assistance in solving a common task - art against anti-aircraft guns, attack aircraft against counter-attacks and anti-aircraft guns, but for the tankers the opening of the defense and target designation of the arte, followed by the assault of the area with extinguished aircraft anti-aircraft guns.

[lucul]

The frames appeared later and the armament with bombs was not very good, purely preliminary reconnaissance.

She didn't need bombs - reconnaissance and fire adjustment - Rama hung in the air for hours and adjusted artillery fire when firing from closed positions. She reported on all the movements of our troops in our rear.
And it costs a lot.

[Aleks tv]

... It would be interesting to read the comment of a competent comrade.

Your division ...
Lyosh, is that you ???
Sorry, buddy, I didn't know.)))

After a stroke, I slow down a little. That's why he disappeared.

I wrote in the comments what I know and what I can say on the air. The Constellation website has public information.
While everything is cumbersome and not very convenient to use, Well, how .. Installation at the gunner Sosny-U in the nest 1K-13.

But the appearance of "the one that you NEED equipment" is encouraging.
The accuracy of determining the object is still lame 30m, it still works, but it is much, much better than it was.

Glad to hear from you, glad to stay on the site.

[lucul]

But it would be extremely interesting to know in more detail what kind of beast it is - network centrism at the tactical level, what does it mean "to build a tank into this very system?"

If on your fingers - well, imagine a monitor screen, in a tank, with a topographic map. And if on this map it will mark, with red dots, previously illuminated by other means of detection (UAV, Sputnik), the location of the enemy - then you will have a huge tactical advantage over the enemy, which does not have network centrics.
Roughly speaking, these are now your eyes.

[VO3A]

Not guessing, this is only part of the system ... and not the most difficult ...

[VO3A]

Read on WIKI about network-centric principle ... Although there are a lot of erroneous judgments and outright populism and just water ...

will exchange information, receive all the necessary information about the enemy

The most important purpose and tasks of network-centric systems:
- detect and control the enemy using technical systems in real
time;
- provide target designation for destruction systems in real time;
- to ensure the destruction of the enemy in real time.
And all this remotely without direct contact with the enemy ...

[Pattor]

The aqueduct works in conjunction with equipment for navigation, topography and control. Multifunctional panel (the same tablet). Displays all information from the car, maps of the area, makes it possible to send / receive messages, commands information. But it all works as we always do. Through that place (((. Until you get to the desired area of ​​the screen with your finger, you will swear

[Victor_B]

Modernized tanks T-72B3M and T-80BVM embed into the network-centric battle control system

Why in the future tense?
Isn't it done yet?
It seems like a lot has already been written about this.

[Victor_B]

In addition:
In my opinion, of course, it's great if all this information is displayed directly into the sight and superimposed on the optical image, but at the initial stage it's not bad if it is displayed on a separate display.
This means that another pair of blocks is simply added to the existing car.
Well, then, is there simply such correctly chewed information?

[Old tanker]

You assume approximately correctly. At the CT in the workplace, there will be a display with an electronic map of the area and controls, on which all detected enemy fire weapons are applied with tactical signs. Your target is highlighted by a flicker. You need to find it on the ground and give target designation to the gunner. Or using the commander's target designation system of the OMS tank or by voice.
That is, the requirements for training a tank commander in terms of topographic training (reading a map and comparing it with real terrain) are significantly increased. Unfortunately, even the officers found it difficult. If in an area with an abundance of landmarks, this is quite simple. They are mapped, you know their location on the terrain and "dance" from them. That in the steppe and desert areas is quite difficult. Even the target you have discovered may not be yours, but your neighbor's. And the two of you hit the same target, and yours will remain unfired. It seems that all the targets were revealed, and the commander correctly distributed them between his weapons, but at the stage of implementation it failed. Here, the requirements for the training of crews in work in the ESU TZ are significantly increased. There is more understanding from the voice so far. So without constant intense training, this will not have the expected effect.

Hello Victor.

In the first version of the modernization of the T-72B3, the R-168-25UE-2 Aqueduct radio station was already plugged into it instead of the R-173. Remember, a few years ago I wrote that they have TPU tangents very "gentle"?))
The aqueduct HAS THE POSSIBILITY of connecting any clever communication systems, including the commander's graphic tablet.
This is what our valiant media picked up, trumpeting that "we have."
Although we "have the opportunity" to install this equipment in the Aqueduct.

[Old tanker]

The aqueduct, yes, the T-72B3 was originally installed. A capricious toy and has the ability to connect to the ESU TK, but the commander's tablet was not installed. Looks like they saved money. And now they probably want to deliver one. And to include tanks in the ESU TK fully.

[Ros 56]

It is very good that progress in troop command and control has found application in our country. Today it is the most important thing for us, so to speak the basis of our being, to be able to defend ourselves and our allies. And there it is necessary to develop economically.

[Constanty]

Today day in a unified control system of the tactical level of the ESU TK built-in T-14 "Armata" tanks

Tanks "Armata" have not yet been put into service, they are not yet mass-produced, so this phrase sounds at least strange.

[Thrifty]

Konstantin a number of T14s are being tested in units, and there they decided, without further ado, to include them in a single network-centric system of subdivision - for a start!

[prior]

Crowing until dawn is now accepted at all levels.
Such "crowing" in human language is translated as "give money."

[silverwolf88]

We must continue to develop systems for command and control of troops and weapons ... to improve and integrate into it all types of weapons and equipment ... everything for a person in battle ...

[Thrifty]

A miracle happened, but the opinion of members of the forum listened to the country's Ministry of Defense! !! We fought on this topic before the "bath", there were such "battles", and life has shown that this is the best option for creating a real effective army! !!
