Right on target: during the Zapad-2021 exercises, Krasnopol guided missiles were used on a tip from drones

77

Unmanned aerial vehicles "Orion" and "Forpost-R" are able to find important objects deep in enemy positions, transmit coordinates and illuminate targets with a laser - the rest of the task is performed by artillerymen, inflicting effective damage with precision warheads. The Krasnopol armor-piercing projectile and the Gran 'high-explosive fragmentation mine are practically invulnerable to the air defense system: they cannot be intercepted or neutralized by means of electronic warfare.

The effectiveness of the interaction method drones with artillery units was tested in the conditions of combat missions in Syria. On December 31, 2017, militants launched a mortar attack on the Khmeimim air base. In response to the location of the aggressor, Krasnopol projectiles were sent by an unmanned aerial spotter. In the future, according to the principle of "One target - one shot", high-precision armor-piercing shells in Syria destroyed underground bunkers and other point targets.



Now the proven practice of using UAVs to help artillerymen begins to be introduced everywhere in the course of performing training tasks. So, in August this year, during the exercises of the Central Military District, camouflaged armored targets were destroyed from self-propelled howitzers "Msta-S" with the help of drones and "Krasnopolye". The shooting was carried out at a target range of 10 to 16 kilometers.


The Forpost-R Orion devices in September of this year were involved while practicing strikes with high-precision ammunition "Krasnopol" and "Gran" at the "Mulino" training ground. The flight of an armor-piercing projectile directed to the target along the laser mark is corrected with the help of rudders at the end of the trajectory. The Gran 'ammunition, designed for firing from 120-mm mortars, has a built-in laser homing head.

According to experts, the characteristics of the UAV and the use of laser technologies, coupled with the impact potential of a high-precision weapons capable of qualitatively changing the capabilities of modern artillery. The drones of the Orion and Forpost-R models can stay in the air for quite a long time, and the corrected high-precision ammunition hit right on target. With proper use, such a bundle will allow you to more effectively decide the outcome of the battle in your favor.

                  Using machine vision. Few people noticed that many GOS produced by Israeli arms companies are electro-optical and / or combined with electro-optics. At the same time, they do not require an operator.
                  The trick is that Israel has gone very far in machine learning and AI. Israeli startups are at the heart of a huge chunk of cutting-edge digital products, from Tesla's autopilot to Google's self-learning algorithms.

                  Helicopter pilots don't even have to "jump out of the terrain."
                  The spike can be directed after launching from cover, and with the help of one / the first missile, distribute targets out of sight for the entire salvo.

                      and how you will detect and distribute targets with 10 seconds of flight in the target area

                      How did you decide that the human operator will detect and distribute targets? There is a special algorithm for this in the "capture after launch" mode. The rocket is launched in autosearch and auto-lock mode, with automatic target distribution.
                      A similar technology "hunting in a pack" existed on the Soviet anti-ship missiles 50 years ago.
                      The process of miniaturization of technologies made it possible, after decades, to implement this in ATGM-level missiles.
                      The only drawback due to which this mode is practically not used is the overrun of missiles, since they aim at any equipment, including those that are not important, and do not work on buildings.
                      The Azerbaijanis did it easier, they simply memorized the location of one or two nearest targets, next to the target, and so with each launch, for 10 seconds - with a slide. Try it yourself:

                      At 0:11 seconds, this is clearly visible.

        The radar is good, but the UAV is needed to quickly clarify what kind of targets it is and, if necessary, strike accurately and on target.

        UAVs are now even allowed from the ship, and even more so from the shore.
