On the premiere of the 55Ж6М Sky-M radar and the BAZ-6909 chassis
Of greatest interest is that part of the material, in which it was a question of the newest radar complex of air defense 55Ж6М "Sky-M". It was represented by two radar modules - the RLM-M (meter band) and the RLM-D (decimeter band), as well as the cockpit for controlling the operation of the RLM and their interaction. Another module RLM-S (centimeter range) was not exposed.
The performance of the R & D "Sky-M" began at the end of the 1990-s. In 1999, the decision was made to locate the large-size modules of the system on special wheel chassis (SKSh) of the Voshchina-1 family produced by the Bryansk Automobile Plant (BAZ). However, BAZ had to work at its own expense to confirm a possible increase in the four-axle SKSh carrying capacity to 22 tons.
History The issue dates back to December 1989 of the year when the terms of reference for the ROC "Astrologer" was approved (basic model SKS MZKT-7390). According to the technical task, the carrying capacity of the chassis, created in Minsk by the ROC "Astrolog", was to be at least 22 tons. The first prototypes of MZKT-7390 were made in 1992-1994.
2 June 1993, the Main Automobile Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia approved the TTZ for the ROC Voshchina-1, according to which BAZ was to develop a family of tractors and chassis. The load capacity of the base four-axle SKSH was set to no more than 18 tons. This was done intentionally to avoid competition between MWTP and BAZ, since in 1993, the military still had hope of creating a union state. But when designing the chassis and tractors in the framework of the ROC "Voshchina-1" was laid a certain margin. And it has helped the plant at the present time, since almost all the complexes and weapons, placed on the SKSH, weigh from 20 to 22 tons. Reserves were laid in the design, and in the fall of 2005, BAZ released a prototype SKS BAZ-6909-013, and in 2007, at the 21 test site of the Research Institute of MoE, it was tested to confirm the carrying capacity of four-axial SKSH to 22 tons.
According to the technical report compiled on the basis of tests, the effectiveness of the BAZ-6909 chassis is superior to MZKT-7930 by 82%. Currently, all radar modules RLK placed on the chassis BAZ-6909 wheel formula 8 х8 and carrying capacity up to 22 tons.
The state tests of the 55ХХNNXXМ РЛК were completed in October of the 6 year. The first RFC should be commissioned in the current year. Still, up to 2011, the purchase of about 2020 RLC is expected.
According to the developer of the RLK (OJSC "Federal Research and Production Center" NIIRT "), to which the author refers, the detection range of aerodynamic and ballistic objects with the 55ЖХ6М complex is 1800 km, height - 1200 km.
