Russian radars of the missile attack warning system "Voronezh" will be modernized
Russian radar stations "Voronezh" will be modernized, at the first stage, work will be carried out at three stations at once. This was reported in the press service of the interstate joint-stock corporation (IAC) Vympel.
According to the announced information, the work is scheduled for 2025 and should be completed in 2028. During this time, two Voronezh-M stations in Lekhtus and Usolye-Sibirskoye, as well as one Voronezh-DM station in Armavir, will undergo modernization. The IAC explained that the work will mainly concern the enhancement of noise immunity, and the power supply will also be updated. Other details were not provided.
Note that last year the advanced missile attack warning system (EWS) passed state tests and was handed over to the military.
The improved SPRN includes a network of ground-based over-the-horizon radars "Voronezh" and a unified space system (EKS) "Kupol", which includes the "Tundra" tracking satellites.
Radar "Voronezh" - a number of Russian over-the-horizon radar stations of the ground echelon of the early warning system, operating in various ranges of radio waves. Radar stations are capable of detecting space ballistic and aerodynamic objects. Today, the Voronezh station controls all directions of probable launches of ballistic and cruise missiles. The stations are located in the Leningrad, Kaliningrad, Irkutsk, Orenburg regions, in the Altai, Krasnodar and Krasnoyarsk regions. Two new stations are being built near Murmansk and Vorkuta, and one more will be located in Crimea.
The Kupol CSC currently includes four Tundra satellites, but by 2024 it should be brought up to 10 spacecraft.
