Mobile coastal defense missile system "Club-M"
The complex "Caliber-M" includes:
self-propelled launcher (SPU),
transport-charging machines (TZM),
3М-54Э, 3М-54Э1 and 3М14Е cruise missiles in transport and launch containers (TPK),
technical support machine
communication and control machine
missile support and storage equipment.
SPU and TZM complex can be placed on the chassis of the Bryansk Automobile Plant BAZ-6909 (for the armed forces of the Russian Federation) or the Belarusian MAZ-7930. SPU includes from four to six transport and launch containers with missiles (see photo) for various purposes. The maximum speed of SPU on the highway - 70km / h, on the road - 30km / h. Power reserve without refueling - no less than 800km.
The presence of a complex of anti-ship missiles 3М-54Е1 / 3М-54Э and a high-precision cruise missile ZМ14Э designed for strikes against ground targets, combined with a single system for controlling the complex, provides exceptional flexibility, efficiency and versatility of use including. on a purely land theater of operations.
Using its own radar installed on a communication and control machine, the Caliber-M complex is capable of independently detecting and tracking surface targets, targeting and attacking escort targets with 3М-54Е1Е anti-ship missiles. The presence of active and passive radar detection channels allows for a flexible detection strategy, including secretive. The complex can receive operational information from higher command posts and external means of reconnaissance and target designation.
Some information about the missiles included in the complex:
The 3М-54Е and 3М-54Э1 anti-ship missiles have an almost identical basic configuration and are as unified as possible. The rockets are made according to the normal aerodynamic design with a drop-down trapezoidal wing, spanning 3.1m. The 3М-54E rocket consists of a launch stage, a subsonic sustainer stage, and a supersonic solid-fuel combat stage. Warhead - penetrating type with undermining at optimum depth. Rocket 3М54Е1 has two stages. The refusal to use the third supersonic stage allowed equipping the 3М54Э1 rocket with a more powerful warhead and increasing the missile’s range. Due to the shorter length, 3М54Э1 can be placed in short torpedo tubes.
3M-54E rocket
The launch stage provides the launch and acceleration of the rocket, equipped with a solid-fuel single-chamber rocket engine, similar to the cruise missile 3M-10 "Granat" engine. In the tail part of the starting stage are lattice stabilizers.
Marching stage - provides flight at the main part of the trajectory with transonic speed, equipped with a compact turbojet engine TRDD-50B ("product 37-01Е"). The TRDD-50B was developed by the Omsk Engine-Building Design Bureau (OMKB OJSC) and unified for all the Caliber missiles. TRDD-50B is a dual-circuit two-shaft turbojet engine with coaxial shafts of low and high pressure circuits, equipped with a half-loop annular combustion chamber. The high pressure circuit is a close-up compressor (one axial stage and one diagonal) and a single-stage axial turbine. The low pressure circuit is a single-stage fan with wide-chord blades and a single-stage axial turbine. Reliable engine start is ensured in the whole range of external operating conditions from -50 ° С to + 60 ° С. TRDD-50B length - 800mm, diameter - 300mm, thrust - 270kgs.
3M-54E1 rocket
The onboard control system of the 3М-54Е / 3М-54Э1 rockets is based on the autonomous inertial navigation system AB-40Э (developed by the State Research Institute of Instrument Making). Guidance on the final part of the trajectory is carried out using the anti-interference active radar homing head ARGS-54. ARGS-54 was developed by Radar-MMS (St. Petersburg) and has a maximum range of up to 65km. The head length is 70cm, the diameter is 42cm and the weight is 40kg. ARGS-54 can function at sea state up to 6 points.
The 3M-14E cruise missile of the Caliber-PLE, Caliber-NKE, and Caliber-M complexes is equipped with a starting solid-fuel engine, in the tail section of which there are lattice stabilizers. TRDD-50B propulsion engine ("37 product") is a small-sized dual-circuit turbojet, unified for all Caliber missiles developed by the Omsk Engine-Building Design Bureau (OMKB OJSC).
3M-14E rocket equipped with a combined guidance system. Control of a rocket in flight is completely autonomous. The on-board control system is based on the autonomous inertial navigation system AB-40E (developed by the State Research Institute of Instrumentation). The rocket control system includes a radio altimeter of the type RVE-B (developed by UPKB “Detail”) and a satellite navigation system receiver (GLONASS or GPS). The radio altimeter provides a flight in the rounding mode of the terrain by precisely keeping the flight altitude: above the sea - no more than 20 m, above land - from 50 to 150 m (approaching the target - reducing to 20 m).
The flight of missiles passes along a previously laid route, in accordance with intelligence data regarding the target position and the availability of air defense assets. Missiles are able to overcome the zones of the developed enemy air defense system, which is ensured by extremely low flight altitudes (with a curvature of the terrain) and autonomy of guidance in the “silence” mode on the main segment. Correction of the rocket flight trajectory on the march section is carried out according to the satellite navigation subsystem and the relief subsystem correction subsystem. The principle of operation of the latter is based on a comparison of the terrain of a particular area where the rocket is located with reference maps of the terrain along its flight route, previously stored in the memory of the onboard control system. Navigation is performed along a complex trajectory, the rocket has the ability to bypass strong enemy air defense / missile defense zones or difficult terrain sections by entering the coordinates of the so-called turning points of the route (to 15 control points) into the flight task (see the trajectory diagram).
The target trajectory is guided by the anti-jamming active radar homing head ARGS-14E, which effectively highlights subtle, small-sized targets against the background of the underlying surface. The ARGS-14 head with a diameter of - 514mm and 40kg weight is developed in OAO NPP Radar MMS (St. Petersburg), has a viewing angle in azimuth (bearing) ± 45 °, in elevation - from + 10 ° to -20 ° . Typical target detection range around 20km. Exceptional maneuverability allows you to accurately bring a rocket to the target.
The 3M-14E missile is equipped with a powerful 450-kilogram high-explosive warhead with the option of an air blast. A variant of the rocket with a cluster warhead completed with fragmentation, high-explosive or cumulative striking elements for striking at areal and extended targets.
For the first time, the Caliber-M / Club-M complex was demonstrated at an exhibition of weapons and military equipment in Nizhny Tagil in 2006.
