Russian servicemen received smartphones that allow detecting the positions of Ukrainian artillery

Solving the tasks of determining the location of the positions of the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can become easier thanks to another technical innovation. Officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have recently received smartphones with special software that allows you to determine the coordinates of enemy artillery by sound. This is reported by the magazine "Arsenal of the Fatherland".

The new smartphones are in fact a non-standard means of sound reconnaissance, which greatly simplifies the work of the military in detecting enemy positions by sound. This is very important, given the specifics of hostilities at the present time.



As the magazine writes,Arsenal of the Fatherland”, four servicemen with smartphones are located 3-6 kilometers from the contact line. The military personnel then read the sound detection time. They synchronize the data and then send it to the central tablet. The ZvukTsentr program installed on it calculates exactly where the position of the enemy artillery is located.

It should be noted that if the determination of the coordinates of enemy artillery pieces is accurate, and these technical innovations are widely used in the armed forces and are supplied to many artillery units, then the work of Russian artillerymen on the front line will be greatly simplified.

Recall that problems with the detection of enemy artillery positions during a special military operation seriously hampered counter-battery combat and often led to unforeseen losses of both military equipment and personnel.

        Yes, what goodies are there .. Cellular communication at the forefront is, in principle, nonsense. The enemy has the most modern American means of electronic intelligence. It will be easy not only to determine the location of smartphones, but also to intercept all data and messages. Moreover, even if a normal Russian message encryption program is installed, the vulnerabilities of the smartphones themselves remain.

          It is impossible to simultaneously decrypt hundreds of cellular transmissions and radio communications in general, you can record and then decrypt, but by this time another hundred messages will arrive, especially if the encryption algorithms are not related to Apple, Google, Microsoft, but will be Russian, especially at a distance of 3 km there is no need to switch to cellular communication protocols at all, and a second is enough to transfer a packet between smartphones already tied to each other

        That's right, sound-measuring reconnaissance complexes have existed since the 1st World War, incl. and in Russia. Their main drawback is interference with massive shooting. As I understand it, in modern complexes they are somehow trying to fight this, but I strongly doubt it with smartphones. Although, under certain conditions, there may be results of their application. Well, I hope there is protection against detection of such devices.

      The Americans have ruined Iraq. Firstly, they put interference on all ranges such that we felt it, more precisely, not with us, but in our near abroad Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, the second strike of the Kyrgyz Republic on these same decision-making centers on communication centers, on the positions of radar, air defense systems, almost immediately after the strike of the CD, air strikes, regardless of the losses. During the air raids themselves, aviation received tasks in the air, aircraft controllers moved with the troops, plus at least 2 reconnaissance satellites constantly hung over Iraq. The time from target detection to strike was reduced to 5 minutes.

And ballistic computers and binding to the GLONASS system and calculators for direct and inverse geodetic problems. And coordinate converters with direct correspondence display.

      The sound of a shot for each type of weapon can be identified by discrete components.

      And for this, the handicam microphone is not well suited.

      And all these characteristic features of the area can be leveled by superimposing signals from smartphones on the digital twin of the area, where weather conditions, seasons and other information merge.

    That is, data transfer is carried out manually? And I'm not saying that the sound direction finding itself does not suffer from special accuracy.
    It looks like there is a real shortage of counter-battery radars in the troops. Which are really capable of accurately calculating positions according to the parameters of the projectile trajectory.
    For that matter, at least place sound direction finders on ultra-small UAVs to eliminate errors in the surface propagation of sound vibrations, with satellite navigation, and real-time data transmission. Such equipment will really cost a penny, like the cheapest smartphone.

      And sticking out in advanced artillery gunners with smartphones as a tool ... As a concept, it's curious, but in practice they are almost suicide bombers. Their task at the front end is the first - to disguise themselves and hide, and here they will fonit-loom with smartphones, begging for a mine on their heads.

In 2007, warnings about the shelling of an aircraft (helicopter) with small arms.

      A similar system called SADS (Small Arms Detection System) is produced in Israel. And the Canadian company MDA recently designed the Ferret device, which is now being field tested in Afghanistan. "SOVA" has a number of advantages in comparison with similar foreign-made systems. First of all, it is the ability to detect in real time the coordinates of the target with an accuracy sufficient for its fire destruction.

    At one time I played with phone applications that analyze sounds. The sensitivity and range of modern telephone microphones far exceeds the capabilities of the average human ear, and most likely far exceeds the capabilities of specialized military junk. I'm not talking about the possibilities for digital analysis of sounds. So I believe that phones for direction finding shots can be used. The only question is to bring this system to mind, well, and make it safe enough for phone users. In fact, the telephones necessary for the operation of the system can work without a person nearby. Until the battery runs out. The only question is - what the hell was information about this system published? Ukrainians may well do something similar or even stupidly steal the necessary software with the help of hackers or something like that.

    Smartphones have already killed many fighters in Makiivka. Now they are offered to be distributed to fighters as a weapon against the enemy.
    Here I can only recall the respected Lavrov: DB!
    We don't need drones at all, we don't need reconnaissance aircraft, we don't need satellites. We still don't have them. They don't sell. Let's distribute banal phones to fighters with a program of their correct boys. Rather let them use their phones. To not spend. For more profit.
    Why not walkie-talkies with calibrated microphones?
    And finally, we have produced a large amount of Penicillin for these purposes. On the basis of the Rostekhov KAMAZ. Which stands high up like a young one.
    What are the problems then in the Russian army with the detection of a shot of enemy artillery?
