Tests of the first sector of the Voronezh-M radar are completed
In the Irkutsk region, state tests of the first sector of the high factory-ready radar station (VZG radar) Voronezh-M were successfully completed, the external communications department of OJSC RTI said.
“During the tests, the tactical-technical characteristics of the radar complex were confirmed, ensuring the effective solution of the tasks of automatic detection, tracking and determining the motion parameters of ballistic missiles and space objects,” a statement said in Interfax on Thursday.
# {weapon} According to him, "in a real situation, the possibilities for controlling the southeast strategic direction were demonstrated, including in field work on the observation of ballistic missile launches."
As the newspaper VIEW, reported earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the leadership of the Ministry of Defense should keep under control issues related to the development of the infrastructure of the Aerospace Defense Forces.
“In the near future, two new radar stations should be commissioned - in Armavir and Irkutsk, and by 2020, the implementation of the measures envisaged by the deployment plans of the Space Defense Forces should be fully completed,” Putin said.
According to information provided by OJSC RTI, the bulk of the work at the deployment and installation site of the first sector of the VZG radar near Irkutsk was performed from June to October of the 2011 year. The first broadcast took place on October 30 2011 of the year, preliminary tests - in June 2012 of the year, and state tests - in September 2012 of the year.
«History the creation of objects of rocket and space defense does not know such rates of input radar involved in the national system of warning of a rocket attack, "- said in a statement.
According to him, when creating the first sector of the radar complex, the principle of high factory readiness, used to create a similar station in the Leningrad Region (Lekhtusi), was fully implemented.
The report notes that the main structural element of the new generation radar is “radioelectronic complexes, which are developed using the most modern technical solutions, the latest technologies and the element base.” These radio-electronic complexes were developed by specialists of the Radiotechnical Institute named after Academician A.L. Mints, which is a part of OJSC RTI.
The complete set of radio-electronic complex was manufactured in the factory and underwent functional testing and testing as part of the basic functional complex deployed at RTI named after Academician A. L. Mints and at the production sites of the Center for Integrated Docking and Radar Testing of High Factory Readiness (VZG-M Radar), it is said in the message.
“The Center for Integrated Docking and Testing of the VZG-M Radar is a high-tech research and production base that has no analogues in the domestic practice of creating objects for rocket and space defense,” the message states that VZG’s Chief Designer Radar Deputy Director A. L. Mints Vladimir Shustova.
“The production of equipment for the RLC was mastered by the serial production plants of the OJSC“ RTI ”. This year, the manufacture of a set of equipment of the second sector of the Voronezh-M RLC is being completed. Research and production enterprises of our cooperation are also ready to start making new sets of radar stations of the Voronezh type “Voronezh” planned to be deployed in the southern and northern strategic areas, ”the message states the executive director of the Defense Solutions division - Deputy General Designer of OJSC“ RTI »Vyacheslav Lobuzko.
Earlier it was reported that in 2012, the group of designers of the radar station of high factory readiness was awarded the State Prize of Russia in the field of science and technology.
