SAZ Quick Kill hits one of the most dangerous anti-tank rocket grenades

The United States Army is preparing to conduct formal tests to evaluate the Quick Kill ™ SAZ, a system for protecting BMs from hand-held anti-tank grenades launched from a pipe and from the shoulder. This protection system is manufactured by Raytheon. In the SAZ test series, Quick Kill again demonstrated its accuracy and maturity.

SAZ Quick Kill during tests conducted in December last year, demonstrated its protective ability, confronting an expanded set of threats, including one of the most deadly - a hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher - by destroying them in flight. All tests were conducted as part of the preparation of a formal government assessment at the start of 2013, in order to demonstrate the unique capabilities of the Quick Kill SAZ to defeat an RPG.

"The Raytheon active defense system is based on the same radar technology used in sensors used for warning on active operational forward bases. The sensors were extremely successful in timely warning of mortar and rocket attacks," said Jeff Miller, vice president for touch and combat systems at Network Centric Systems (a division of Raytheon).

“Raytheon with Quick Kill received a highly developed mature system, offering the US armed forces unprecedented protection capabilities, which are important for BM survivability. This technology is already fully ready. Its deployment can be launched within a year,” he added.

The Quick Kill system includes: a multipurpose fire control system radar that detects and tracks incoming threats; system of hard counteraction, which serves to prevent defeat. Thus, Quick Kill combines the ability to track multiple targets and multiple triggers. Thanks to this, the system effectively neutralizes the enemy’s fire directed at the protected vehicle or unit.

The Quick Kill countermeasure system has a vertical trigger. By the ability to hit a threat, it is unique. Quick Kill destroys threats coming from any altitude or any angle, can work in any weather and protects the full hemisphere in 360.

During previous tests, Quick Kill demonstrated its performance by hitting several types of threats that were launched not only from a fixed platform, but also manually. The system confirmed the ability to trigger multiple times, hitting a pair of simultaneous threats.

Hmm, interesting development!

[Papakiko]

what kind of "boyan", where is the more concentrated information?
It turns out that "mum-ba" is going to make "tum-ba" on the basis of the previously shown "ahmed-mugamet ahapke firewood" with the use of "through the fence vysokonogazaderishchenko".

[ShturmKGB]

Yes, as always, high performance is achieved at a very high price ... and then all sorts of "minor" restrictions will come to light, such as using at temperatures not lower than -8 ...

It happened once every fifteen minutes, some uncle launched a rocket at her and she fired. But if you run in tandem ??? and maneuvering?

I immediately remembered our anti-tank system installed on tigers there, just the tandem launch and maneuvering.

RPG does not maneuver, and maneuvering itself will cost other money, but the bullet-to-bullet system looks certainly doubtful

That's for sure. But an electromagnetic trawl with the possibility of precise location and remote destruction has not yet been invented.

And btw, let the option in front of each armor of the male dog on a leash.
But here, there is no way out. The opposing side will actively start using cats.

[Tjumenec72]

protects the full hemisphere of 360

- that is, it can repel an attack from underground (annealed in log burners)

[b0bi]

The text clearly says "360 hemisphere". This means what is above the ground.

[Professor]

Jokers, for "underground" you need a full sphere, but here is a hemisphere. The engineer was not finished.

[rolik]

And then it turns out that despite the high appreciation given by the American military and specialists in the field of military development, this nifig system does not protect against old - good RPGs. It turns out that the Russians began to issue stealth grenades for these RPGs, invisible to this system.

[Apollo]

Quick Kill countermeasure

[Tjumenec72]

And how many of these "wonderful" containers can there be on a tank?
Or one is enough to understand: - no, well, nafig (they shoot here) it's time to bring down ...)))

I share what I found on this device

The creators of Quick Kill promise that this active protection system will become the most effective representative of the class in the world, although so far we can talk about only one “advantage” - the highest price. The composition of the “Quick kill” includes a millimeter-wave radar for detecting and tracking MFRFS, its antennas, a control computer, and two launchers. The radar finds a target with suspicious flight parameters and takes it for auto tracking. The calculator determines what ammunition is required to destroy it. To destroy an anti-tank missile or rocket-propelled grenade, unguided warheads are used at short distances from the tank, and guided missiles are used at large ones. The first ones are similar in principle to the Russian Arena complex: at the right moment, a small cylindrical charge is fired, which, having flown a certain distance from the tank, explodes and meets enemy ammunition in a hail of fragments. Guided missiles are much more complicated, if only because their range lies within 150-800 meters and requires the use of an inertial guidance system. Before starting, Quick Kill automation calculates the required flight parameters and enters them into the rocket electronics. Immediately after a cold start, the latter switches on the pulse correction engine, tilting it towards the target being attacked. Upon reaching the required angle in the vertical plane, the engine located on the opposite side turns on: this momentarily fixes the rocket in the desired position, after which the main engine is switched on. At a predetermined distance from the tank, the missile’s warhead is undermined and a “curtain” of fragments is created. Ammunition protection system can include from eight to sixteen guided and unguided missiles.

[Lord of the Sith]

Apollo,
But the same picture, only a rocket flies a meter lower?
The reaction rate of the system?
At what distance does the system work?
If the rocket flies lower, can the system manage to launch the rocket so that it can react and maneuver the flying rocket?
In other words, can an anti-missile take off by 10-15 cm and then bring down a missile flying noticeably lower than the installed system?

[Professor]

And if it is a Scud rocket with a speed of 4 km / s? If you can shoot single snipers with Scuds, then why not destroy a single tank with a direct hit? BUT, Lord of the Sith?

[Lord of the Sith]

I already explained to you when a heavily fortified house with machine guns and snipers or in neighboring houses of a sniper is sitting and covering approaches. here they are covered with missiles. missile camps also cover missiles.
But you would have to troll yes?)))

[itr]

I didn’t see anything new, but what a formal test is is a mystery to me.

[rolik]

Quote: itr

but what is a formal test

And this is probably something like this. Amer generals gather with civilian eggheads, whisk whiskey and speak;
- Well, what ???
- Yes, like nothing !!!
- Well, how is it ???
- Nitsche so it seems !!!
- Well, okay, since it's nothing !!!
Then they sign a boomazeyka about the reception, after some time (after a year, two, three ....) they watch a film for official use with lined tanks on which the ent protection stood. And the question is
- Ah, there it is !!! And then we thought that still nothing (((((
Something like this, probably, they undergo formal tests.

[Professor]

SAZ cuts the ear - in Russian this is called KAZ (active protection complex)

[Strashila]

Let's complicate the task ... the fighting in the city ... throw a brick from a window towards BM ... three bricks ... a shot from an RPG. For some reason, I remembered shots of the Vietnam War Chronicle ... Vietnamese comrades have built a big slingshot side of the Americans, hand grenades ... but what's cheap and cheerful.

[Professor]

In any KAZ, there is a filtering of goals by course and speed.

At RSC 3 from the attic, how will he react? like a brick or an RPG?

[Professor]

If you can throw a hand grenade or brick at a speed of 100 m / s (where were you when the Olympics were going? ) then KAZ must intercept them.

[vorobey]

Quote: professor

KAZ will certainly intercept them.

Professor, that is, the good old RKG 3 (hard truth of infection) quietly quietly overcome any KAZ?

[Professor]

Of course, overcome if you can get so close to the tank.

[homosum20]

He will drive up. The main thing is not to twitch ahead of time.

[vorobey]

That's for sure (Comrade Sukhov)

[Professor]

Well, I don’t know, unless of course let the tanks go without infantry, then maybe a hand grenade will hit the tank, although as far as I know over the past 60 years, the tanks did not burn in this way in real combat operations.

And Profi will have his Trophy to protect from foam from the mouth))))) even though poor suitability is immediately visible there.

napalm soda.?

Hello hello. I remember exactly such a question. I probably missed my ears.

I did not come across or missed by, but I suspect that this is just some sort of system of seals on the MTO. Maybe now they’ve come up with something new.

[Professor]

There is more than enough experience with this. In the territories, they are constantly trying to set fire to Israeli technology with a Molotov cocktail, but so far to no avail. The risk certainly exists (especially if it gets into an open hatch), but not serious. Here is an RPG-29 for example, it's "all-dry the oars".

[Kyrgyz]

Kill the infantry near the tank

[Professor]

Near this he will burn, near Trophy it is not necessary.

By the way, he already has experience in real combat use, successfully capturing the Cornet.

Rђ RІRѕS, German- Beats strictly down, the roof is not covered, but the infantry is intact.

The described American KAZ is very similar to the Israeli one installed among other things on the Russian Tiger.

Raphael has a KAZ similar to Menetsky:

[Strashila]

I also remembered one embodiment of our grenade launcher ... perhaps it’s wrong, it seems like it’s a taco thing with two barrels with the Acropolis system. A grenade with EMP starts from the first barrel, and a cumulative tandem grenade from the second one. It takes out all electronic bells and whistles ... well, and the second calmly just firing equipment.

[suharev-52]

Quickly find the antidote, and this requires the performance characteristics of this system. Better yet, a valid sample. I think that we will carry out a small modification soon and everything will be OK. Throwing in disinformation for throwing designers of the opposing side is not ruled out. Sincerely.

[Nasty]

all KAZ receive information from the radar for something. After all, the tank should be lit when the radar!
Can't from a passive sensor? is there a thermal imager?

[Tourist Breakfast]

There is a millimeter radar. At the distance that it "shines" the tank is already easily detected visually.

Can't from a passive sensor? is there a thermal imager?

It is possible, but not for all types of threats. To intercept ATGMs, let's say we need a radar.

[homosum20]

Cheto with this muck it is necessary to do. It will increase problems (if it works as described).

[crd65227]

Here you can see. Impressive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgWywHPVzMg&feature=player_embedded

[Professor]

Great video called: goodbye infantry.

[Tjumenec72]

any KAZ is goodbye infantry)

[Professor]

There are different KAZ, the German and Israeli Trophies are much safer for the infantry.

[Tjumenec72]

well, a smaller radius, but the principle is the same ... it’s better not to stand at the armor

[toguns]

The idea is certainly interesting, but there are questions.
and who said that 1 RPG will shoot?
and how will this system behave if the tank starts to be shot from different sides and what is important in weak points?

[webdog]

ARENA complex, developed back in 1980 ...
here it was for the first time)))
protection 270%

[Tourist Breakfast]

ARENA complex, developed back in 1980 ...
here it was for the first time)))

For that matter, the first serial KAZ was "Drozd", development of the seventies. It entered service in 1983.
By the way, "Arena" was not adopted for service.

[Orc-xnumx]

"ARENA" is just that it has undergone modernization, which has greatly simplified and increased its efficiency. The issue of procurement is being studied.

[Hoist]

SAZ Quick Kill during tests conducted in December last year, demonstrated its protective ability by resisting an expanded set of threats, including one of the most deadly - a manual anti-tank grenade launcher - destroying them in flight.

They threw grenade launchers, and rockets shot them down? o_o
So they probably just didn’t give out grenades :)

[gregor6549]

Why be surprised? Systems based on mm-range radars, infrared lasers and video sensors (for example, stereo video cameras) have long been developed, which make it possible to detect and track numerous high-speed, maneuvering and small-sized targets within a radius of several meters to several kilometers. And such systems are successfully used not only in the aircraft but also in civilian life, for example, in car collision avoidance systems. In the case of ATGMs, the task of detecting and tracking them is even easier than in automotive systems, because the trajectory of the ATGM is more predictable, and massive volleys against a unit of armored vehicles can hardly be expected. In addition, no one bothers much about the cost of such military systems. Well, when the task of detecting and tracking an ATGM is solved, then the task of intercepting or removing it from the target is solved quite simply. In general, everything is, as always, "There is no reception against scrap, if not ..." and further in the text.

[SHOGUN]

Heh, and if you put a jammer in the rocket, + when you approach the target, shoot a couple of false targets from the rocket? Bullshit of course, but purely hypothetically?

[schizophrenic]

Quote: SHOGUN

Heh, and if you put a jammer in the rocket, + when you approach the target, shoot a couple of false targets from the rocket

In more powerful missiles, this applies to the question of cost, but if they install on all KAZ tanks, then the designers will be engaged if they are not already engaged.

[Orc-xnumx]

I understand that this is something like our "ARENA". But this system is painted with a purely American aplomb, that is, idiotic!
